Honestly, this is the most badass flavour text I've ever seen on a card. Awesome.

"So, obviously followed footsteps + reaper king = game end."
-Donovan_Fabian

Maybe if you're playing Followed Footsteps on your opponent's Reaper King.Not a good idea for your own Reaper King-- Reaper King's legendary, so if two or more are in play, they all go to the graveyard due to the "legend rule." So much for that multiple-Reaper-King fantasy... unless you've got Mirror Gallery out.

The key to Reaper King is that yes, most of his tribe is ineffective, but you can still make him rock as long as you have a bit of backup. You don't have to have an all-scarecrow deck to make him functional. How many Vindicates do you really need before your opponent bites it? I run him as one of my bombs in my half-scarecrow/half-otherrandomartifacts deck. I cheat him into play with Master Transmuter. I make his minions cheaper with Etherium Sculptor. I crank out endless scarecrows with Soul Foundry and for giggles make them all unkillable with Darksteel Forge. He'll also occasionally share the battlefield with Darksteel Colossus and Platinum Angel, because I don't believe in overkill. You can take the regular, run-of-the-mill broken artifact deck and make it scarecrow-y and fun. Reaper King makes that possible.

Great Commander in Four colored EDH decks you will always be able to cast him without adding a fifth color.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the required combo card... Conspiracy. Doesn't matter WHAT the hell you play once you have it out. Everything you cast is a scarecrow.

5/5 for sure! and 5 mana comes quick in an all artifact scarecrow deck.. and even if mana is an issue, theres always Deathrender and a quick sac of a sword wielding puppet with your scarecrone, and the reaper king joins the fray! 5th turn easy, everytime!
