My Varina deck has been performing very well. Thanks all!

Oh man. Turn 1 Gravecrawler, Turn 2 Wayward Servant, Turn 3 Warren Soul Trader. That's a fun turn 3 win magical Christmas land.

Yeah champion of the perished had to go for putrid imp, maybe I get rid of putrid ghast or whatever is name since I dont run Liliana. Bolas will have to go for CI I think, though I still think Varina is a good way to clear the top. Maybe I will add it again, playing next week again and giving the d...

Went up to 38 lands (2 mdfc) -Cutting Undead Warchief for Bladestitched Skaab. 4 is a lot to ask and getting another 2 drop in seems the way to go, while still giving a buff after a mass reanimation. -Cutting Bone Miser for the time being as well due to it being 5. Replaced with Razorlash. I'm curre...

Can I cut Archive for Reconnaissance? Yeah the lifegain and draw seems nice, but 5 mana is a lot to ask since I'm not running much ramp outside of Sol Ring/Nykthos/agadeem. Terferi Insight and Kindred Discovery both appear as better options I am already running. On top of Skullclamp and all the dra...

I think you curve @Zed117. There are certainly some cards I think could be cut for lower CMC creatures, but I don't really know what you prefer as a play style for the deck. I focus in on being a bit more aggro in the early turns with my annoying creatures that can come back if requirements are met...

One thing of note with Diregraf Colossus is that when doing a mass-reanimation when it enters it sees all the zombies from the yard at the time it entered. even when they all are currently on the stack with abilities which also funny enough includes itself. I have been a big fan of Bone Miser in my...

Cuts I am considering next and replacements. -Rooftop Storm, pretty expensive and mostly win more outside of minor combo potential. -Havengul Lich. Without Rooftop is only okay at 5 mana. -Rise of The Dark Realms. Very expensive and I can just tutor for Living Death, Zombies apocalypse. Also have Ag...

Has anyone run the Deathstar in Varina? I'm faced with rebuilding after the disappointing experiment with the try-hard list, and I think I want to try some different things. Sensei's Divining Top is rarely a bad card in any deck, and Aetherflux Reservoir can be a win-con with recursion loops and wh...

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GRjik-7FLEa3d97JLdm9hw Current stab at making Varina more recursion focused. Have Vile Entomber, Entomb, Buried Alive to help add to the grave. Along with Reanimate, Dread Return and Oversold Cemetery, plus some of the recursions zombies: Rot Hulk, Phyrexian Delver, H...

Looking at tunning my deck down a bit more midpower. Cut mana crypt and a few other things. I own a Rot hulk already, so considering going less aggro and a bit more reanimator with some combos.

Cards that I feel I should be running: Sidisi Undead Vizier, Plague Belcher, Rhystic Study (I cut this for Teferi Insight) too many people pay the 1 in my meta. Also possibly headless rider, reanimate/dread return, Tombound Lich, Tormod, Rot Hulk. Any of those above worth swapping in? And if so what...

Okay. Found room for Vampiric Tutor, Skullclamp and Ashnods. Cut down on my 4mv zombie slot. Sadly had to cut overcharged amalgram but it's not the best without rooftop storm anyway. Got my curve down from a 3.4 to 2.9 For draw I currently have: Skullclamp, Black Market Connection, Terferi Insight, ...

Okay this thread made me create an account because dang lots of useful information in this thread. I've tried to make Wilhelt, Scarab God and Gisa&Geralf into a aggro zombie swarm and I think Varina is what I actually want to play. Gonna take another long read through the whole thread, but any ...
