Suggestions for Deck: The Reaper, King No More
Hey y'all! I've drafted my first Commander deck completely from scratch for The Reaper, King No More. Up until now I've mostly modified precons or borrowed lists from friends, so I'd love some feedback before I start buying cards.
The game plan is to spread -1/-1 counters, keep opposing boards weak, and steal my opponents' creatures with The Reaper. Rather than comboing off, I'm hoping to grind out value by repeatedly controlling the board and turning my opponents' creatures against them (although I still have some combos in it).
My biggest concern is the mana curve. It's a little higher than I'd like, and I'd love to get the average mana value closer to the 2–3 range without losing too much power.
I'm also not very familiar with tutors. I know the deck could probably benefit from a few, but I'm trying to stay on a reasonable budget, so I'd especially appreciate recommendations for inexpensive options.
Any feedback is welcome, but I'm particularly interested in:
- Cards that seem underwhelming or unnecessary.
- Any glaring weaknesses in the deck.
- Ways to lower the curve.
- Budget tutor recommendations or other upgrades.
