You convinced me to give another try to Dread Return. I just found a foil old design one for a cheap 0,3$ 🤩 man this new era of easily available old bordered foils is awesome :D I love them. Getting an old bordered foil Sevinne's Reclamation for Ephara was realllly nice. I will say that it is disti...

I run Dread Return and it's always phenomenal.

I'm still curious. How does this card is so phenomenal for you ? Can you explain me in which scenario it shines so much ?

I agree with you all. I will cut that useless Mana Crypt

Maybe I can give a chance to Mox Diamond… maybe.

What about Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox and stuff like this ? I will probably cut them all. I think Varina just needs to lands every turn and it's enough. As soon as we play a land each and every turn we are fine because we will go of with an altar or a big mana land like Crypt or N...

I just tried a game with Knowledge is power , Roaming Throne and Archfiend of Ifnir . All three performed very well. Knowledge is power is expensive but you can see it as a finisher or a way to keep swinging because your zombies will be too big to die. Sometimes you can just win by combat if you don...

I'm sure some people here will try this card. Could be good if your build is more on the agressive combat oriented version, rather than the low curve combo version.

What do you plan to swap out for this? Universal Automaton?

I run Dreadmalkin so it's an easy swap for my list

Yeah this one is cool. Fill up your grave, come early and in the one time in a million you will need it, you can pump it

A new zombie I will try: https://www.magicspoiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot_20240120-231144-400x559.jpg Image does not show up... The zombie is a 1/1 for one black mana and when it deals damage to player you mill two cards. You can also pay 1B to give it +2/+2 (only one each turn).

Cyclonic Rift is much much better. Instant speed, does not target.

This is a Zombie.

The Flood of Mars.

A really really bad zombie 🥲

Chancellor is great but it's complicated to abuse. You need to have a sac outlet and a discard outlet at the same time. It's really great for producing a zombie for one little mana. Edit: the way you want to abuse Chancellor is the same synergy as Altar + Zombie Infestation + Skullclamp. This let yo...

We can say that mummy allows us to keep rolling. Even by just landing 1 or 2 zombies, with Mummy on the field, is often enough to get all the team swinging.

I do want to know if any of you have played with Binding Mummy ? And if so how has it felt playing so far? Currently I haven't seen it in many games lately, So I am wondering if the utility in it is good or not Mummy is an amazing zombie. I would never cut it. Often you can turn the 2 mana ability ...

I wouldn't cut lands in that list. People too often cut lands in their deck by thinking they can because the curve is low. The thing is, you absolutely need to never miss a land drop in a Varina list. The tempo loss of missing a land drop is awful, especialy in a deck that struggles a lot to properl...

A few feedbacks: Withered Wretch : Probably a solid keep in this kind of strategy. It saved me a few games where I was about to deck myself if I wanted to loop my graveyard to drain my opponents to death. I was able to exile Undead Augur and Liliana's Standard Bearer to survive. And I was able to ex...

So just after I wrote that Cosmic Intervention is not a really good card, I had a game yesterday where it actually shined. It was early foretold and was ready to bring back 8 zombies + Wayward Servant. I had Ashnod Altar on the battlefield, ready to sacrifice everything to bring back the team next e...

Last thought of the day: I will try Takenuma, Abandoned Mire . It should be a nice addition because you can bring back Liliana, Untouched by death . So Lili will also become fuel for our graveyard rather than just a -3 into comboing. I will feel better to dicard her to Varina if I can bring her back...

Well, to argue for Cosmic Intervention, it can save one of our amazing enchantment like Kindred Discovery, Tombstone Stairwell or Grave Pact. Or even save a key piece like an altar. Foretold this after a Bane of Progress would be an amazing situation. But my feeling with the card has always been bad...

Hello, After a few games I wanted to share my thouhts on my current list of Varina. Here is the link to my actual testing list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/LyhWR3lW40ee9SnmZ3AjmA Thanks to toctheyounger and pokken, I think I almost found a definitive version of Varina that I like. The list is ver...

Oh crap you are rights... I forgot that important point: not a zombie in the yard :/

Well, next !

Maybe a new tool: "Titan of Littjara" 4UU Creature: Illusion 6/6 As Titan enters battlefield, choose a creature type. Titan is the chosen type in addition to its others types. When Titan enters battlefield or attacks, you may draw a card for each other creature that share a type with it. I...

BUT, I want to be wrong and I want to try the card anyway because copying any instant and sorcery feels so good (I like to do stuff like this in Magus Lucea Kane)

"doubt you ever resolve this in a mid to high power table" - what are they gonna do about it, counter it? Remove some creatures? They can do that same stuff to stop you winning with anything. Say you have Demonic Tutor and tutor for some wincon, what stops them from just countering that? ...
