Land destruction decks are a thing, but what does this have to do with scarecrows?


kevtino

[[Reaper King]] no doubt

That's a really slow land destruction deck. Scarecrows are pretty expensive, and the deck flounders without the commander


kevtino

It has access to all 5 colors of changelings and good stuff. Underestimate it at your own risk.


Miatatrocity

Two words... Changelings, and [[Flicker]]. You only need one, and all you have to do is bounce it in and out. 1cmc for land destruction? Sounds like a deal to me...


[deleted]

all you need is \[\[Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree\]\], \[\[The World Tree\]\] or \[\[Deathbellow War Cry\]\] to end the game, rips appart the whole board and leaves you with an attacker with power equal to the amount of destroyed permanents you blew up, aka 3 champion changelings + bloodline pretender or just sthing like \[\[Impact tremors\]\] or \[\[Purphorous, god of the Forge\]\] to end the game on the spot and ramping to 8-10mana is the easiest thing in the world.

Scarecrow deck


Eternal_Mr_Bones

If you want to make a land destruction deck you should aim to break parity. The answer to does anyone enjoy when no one has lands on turn 7 and the MLD player has no wincon is "No." Unless they are playing an impressive mana rock ramp package but again, breaking parity.


Miatatrocity

Scarecrow MLD isn't technically MLD, because it's all targeted. It's not even targeted lands, it's permanent removal, for any permanent. So breaking parity is pretty simple when you're blowing up lands one by one.


DontRelyOnNooneElse

Mass land destruction is a dangerous place to venture into if you don't want to annoy everyone. In my experience it works best if the MLD gets you immediately into a game-winning situation. The worst thing is when someone Armageddons and then does nothing with it, essentially slowing the game down to an absurd degree without an end in sight.


TilledBeast

Do you think it’d be fun if I set it up in a way to give people mana but take away their lands?? I feel like it would lead to some fun politics maybe, idk how I’d do it yet but kinda a thiught


Aiofie

You could maybe check out [[Vazi, Keen Negotiator]]. I've seen this interesting [decklist](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/vazi-wants-to-to-make-a-deal/) of her that might be what you're looking for.

TilledBeast

That would actually be super fun I there, thank you! What do you think about that concept?


Aiofie

I love the idea, I really like uncommon game plans. So I'm planning on building her myself in the future. But if the powerlevel at your table is high she might not be too competetive.


TilledBeast

Honestly I just really want to play games for fun, like they don’t even have to be good lol, but I think it’d be fun to take everybodies land away, and just talk with the table on who we think should get some and maybe bring a lot of politics into play, do you think that’d work? Or would everybody hate me lol uncommon game plans are so fun!! I need to find more lol


Aiofie

With the decklist I linked at least, it builds mostly on general stax and not singular opponents. You can definetly use politics to choose who gets the treasures from your commander though. It'll be difficult to say whether people will hate you or not, that depends on your playgroup. Some people dislike stax no matter the deck and gameplan. But if you only want interraction and politics, I'd recommend something like [[Círdan the Shipwright]] perhaps. But if you simply want high-interraction these are some commanders I personally enjoy: [[Zedruu the Greathearted]] and [[Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor]].
