This action doesn't use the stack
Enter the enchanting realm of Lorcana, where magic, adventure, and storytelling come together in a captivating card game experience
Like the rest of this cycle, this looks like a nice card
Alternatively, if you want to keep things at a more wholesome level, you could decide to just keep Reaper King waiting in the Command Zone, looming over the game and bringing terror without ever even being cast.
