Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

On Overcharged Amalgam , if you run things like Apprentice Necromancer or Necromancy you can interact with it from the graveyard at instant speed. Its a lategame zombie that you dont play on curve. So while it being in the crowded 4cmc slot, you can always spend the mana on varinas ability if nothin...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

here's no reason not to grab 3 basics every time until you're out, and even if you don't drop them all to play (you almost certainly won't), they make for a great way to curate your hand well with Varina. If you have no zombies to drop to the yard, drop these. It keeps your hand size up, makes sure...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

At the moment i run Land Tax and Expedition Map would Weathered Wayfarer be a better substitute for one of them i do run field/ cabbal coffers / nykthos and more utility lands.
Only thing holding me back is that its not a zombie.. but neither are land tax and map -.-

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

I did but just ended up with an entirely clear board after some wipes. When its good its good, when it's bad its very vanilla. This is the case for Coffers I'd say. I run both and also added Expedition Map and a Crucible of Worlds to my list in replacement of a signet and Sword of the Animist (even...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

Well I finally got some gameplay in myself today. I lost both games and learned some things. Thirdly signets are dead weight. They're not what I want to be playing at any stage of the game, and for that reason I'm out. I also had some pretty bad flood going on in these games, so with that I do wond...

Re: The Varinaristocrats!

Apprentice Necromancer [/card] maybe this would be a good 2 drop if your deck is build arround it? Its Instant speed reanimation and works well with: - Mikaeus → BW protection. - Prized Alamgam (if you gonna include it) - Repository Skaab -sidisi Undead Vizier -Balthor +3 mana reanimation -Gray mer...

Re: The Varinaristocrats!

How has Crucible of Worlds been for you? I have one in my osgir deck. And thinkering about swapping it into my varina list. Big difference with your list is mine has a higher curve. Also thinking about ordering a Cavern of Souls . Its a land not much discussed yet but i see you running it. Most zom...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

Oh i just think hes one of the most amazing zombies we have had in months. He also turns your zombie tokens in decayers which with a sac engine can drain your opponents twice with a vengeful dead effect. I am swapping out Graveborn Muse for the amalgam. As the muse i find quite dangerous when you s...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

The more I think about Wilhelt, the more I think he's not as strong as we think. He costs 4, he generates decayed token and his draw ability ask you to sacrifice something and you have to wait the end of the turn. All of this just for a little draw that you won't be able to use with good timing, mo...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

I'm not a huge fan of it, the planeswalker destroying is pretty much irrelivant as you can just swarm them if needed with zombies.
I would much rather run Tainted Adversary ?

Enlighten me if i am wrong :)

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

So Patchwork Crawler is nice and cheap. I like it for its CMC and the incidental Necrotic Ooze tack on. It seems pretty reasonable. I have a surprising number of activated ability zombies. not sure enough to want to play this card and pay that prohibitive mana cost though. It does make me really lo...

Balthor the Defiled has been amazing for me. He won me two games already.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

I use to play stitcher and alway dumped an instant or sorcery in the yard which i would have rather kept in my hand. I would look more into loot effects like varina or surveil with Master of Death or effects like Search for Azcanta // Azcanta, the Sunken Ruin.

The +2 power is to relevant to cut him, if you swing with some zombie tokens the damage adds up quite fast this way.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

I got myself a Tainted Adversary and Bladestitched Skaab from my prerelease boosters. Gonna give the adversary a try. The lord im less and less interested in.. The more you think about the zombies from innistrad and the commander deck the more dissapointed I am getting.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange

With Wonder is it difficult to get an island into play for you, since our decks usually lean heavy into black mana? I think i only run 5 islands including dual lands.
