Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
A sacrifice outlet with a mana burst and at least one two-card infinite built in? Yeah, I think I can find a slot for that - I think I must find a slot for that!. Warren Soultrader may be one of the best three-drops available to us - if and when it does become available.

Stella Lee vs Bowmasters
With Stella Lee, Wild Card in play, I cast spell one and spell two and then for spell three, Cerulean Wisps . An opponent plays Orcish Bowmasters in response. I think I can copy Cerulean Wisps with Stella's second ability in response to the Bowmasters cast and just continue to draw the whole deck be...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
there's too many options for there to ever be anything close to a "standard" list. Agreed, that's what makes this deck a blast, it's not solved. Did you ever get your Borne Upon a Wind line going? I actually think it could be an interesting add on its own, card is kind of cracked in the r...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
The best thing about Champion of the Perished is the fear it instills in other players; it draws removal. That's good because that's a piece of removal that's not aimed at an important card. Shambling Ghast is among the better one drops in my view. He's a creature that I actually want to see die! I ...

Re: Boros Knights from Way Back
The last Lieutenant has been found. Some new tech for Crippling Fear has been added. The one-drops have been shifted back toward W . Lastly, some creatures have been added to the side-board to hopefully shore up B and or R matchups. Here's the latest list: Creatures 30 4 Dauntless Bodyguard 4 Venera...

Re: Boros Knights from Way Back
Eureka! I've found an answer for Crippling Fear! The Stone Brain! It's perhaps not fantastic, but it just might work. I found one rummaging through some pre-release leftovers. I think I'll round up one or two more.

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
For the skullclamp combo you mentioned, I do need a sac outlet right, but how does it go infinite? I was looking for that skullclamp write up but couldn't find it. To combo with Zombie Infestation , a sacrifice outlet is indeed necessary. It's limited by the amount of cards in the library. Discard ...

Re: Varina, Esper Zombie
Varina is back in the saddle, with only such replacements as necessary to replace cards pillaged for a couple of other projects. I'd like to try some new things, but for now, the list has just been patched up. In: Cabal Pit , Shipwreck Marsh , Swamp , Snow-Covered Swamp , Corrupted Conviction , Vill...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
Something occurred to me tonight that I wish I had thought of while I still had that try-hard list assembled; I want to play Peer into the Abyss , discard, pass turn and then in the next upkeep, activate Emergence Zone or play Borne Upon a Wind to play a reanimation spell. It will obviously take som...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
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 whi...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
Lastly, my tap land count is a liiiiittle high with Fetid Pools because I had to scavenge my Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for another deck. The total tapland count can be thought of as virtual 1 drops. fetid pool field of the dead fabled passage crypt of agadeem sunken hollow I would probably cut fable...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
There are a few cards that help us keep up with out land drops; Tithe and Land Tax are two that I use. Weathered Wayfarer is an all star at this, but he's not a Zombie so I don't use him despite his tremendous effectiveness. There are also some bargain cards that can help; Gift of Estates and Twiste...

Re: Boros Knights from Way Back
those loo like good sideboard cards in case you encounter another deck that sides Crippling Fear. have you tested the lieutenants? Are they doing great? I haven't played with the lieutenants since adding them, but I used them a few years ago in a very similar deck, The Heartflame Duelist // Heartfl...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
I experimented with a list that included Sensei's Divining Top. Top helped me decide whether to loot because I could tell if what was on top was stuff I wanted to pitch when the stuff in my hand was valuable. The list can be built to facilitate looting; cards that can be profitably pitched can be us...

Re: Stella Lee: Shoot to Thrill!
I've actually been helping a friend with his cEDH list today, https://www.moxfield.com/decks/mtmqN1qFWUC2p3LnzDyAew That list is basically a carbon copy of one of the lists I found on You Tube; https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KeLpgtZCWEuHVZ9-xDdHIg.

@darrenhabib I've been looking at cEDH content in the last few days and I've learned why those guys include things like Crimson Wisps , Expedite and Shore Up . If a combo attempt is interrupted, say by Flusterstorm , one can restart the combo by responding with one of the above mentioned spells; un...

Re: Varina, Lich Queen - Esper Zombie Midrange
In your experience do you usually win by the mass reanimation combo? Is there a way to loop it? Or is it usually like a mike, plague belcher; gravecrawler, Gary combo. I guess zombies just kinda allow you to combo off by chance even on an aggro plan^^ Mass reanimation is effective only if there's a...

Re: Stella Lee: Shoot to Thrill!
Two games Thursday went well with the list above prior to the Dramatic Reversal swap for Galvanic Iteration. The first game should have ended on turn three, but I bungled it and was fortunate to get it done the following turn. The second game I did get it done on turn three. This proves only that th...

If you are on the aggro bandwagon, it doesn't get much better than flipping Wonder off of a Varina trigger.
