It has been okay for me so far, it initially let's you fill the yard a bit as most of the times I end up milling the top card with it. It's what the deck wants anyways and get's me closer to flipping, at which point it's another blue source which I'm always happy with and gives me a way to dig for a mass reanimate spell or other answer. Repeated draw effects can be tough and personally I don't want to go towards something like Phyrexian Arena. That said, I don't necessarily feel it's a must include, as a plain draw spell is much cheaper to acquire and can do well in it's place, like ChocoDude mentioned.plaganegra wrote: ↑2 years agoSearch for azcanta
How is this for you? I never really thought about including this but to me it seems like a pseudo-ramp spell with card advantage upside. It looks like it would be very strong in the deck and could replace a signet for those looking to avoid artifacts. Or in addition to.
I've not gotten to run the deck since it's inclusion, but it makes chump blocking our zombies a tad bit harder and thus zombies might stick around for more Varina triggers. To me it's a back up Death Baron in that regard, with the upside that it doesn't screw up combat if they remove it since the deathtouch persists till end of turn. Getting zombie tokens off of it is mostly a bonus to me, it's not something I expect a lot.plaganegra wrote: ↑2 years agoWand of orcus
Have you gotten to try this yet? I stuck it in my chatterfang list and have been thinking about it in varina.
I've been rather enjoying it, mostly because I have found myself often needing those extra life points because those black draw spells/effects usually come with the cost of life. And even if you initially discard it with Varina you still get to use it later on, so unlike enough other non-creatures it's not a dead card in the graveyard.plaganegra wrote: ↑2 years agoDihada's Ploy
Also seems good in the deck. Would love to hear your experience with it.
You can add mana symbols with the fourth button, on the second row of where you place your posts/signature. Beyond that it's just a matter of putting that little bit of code in the URL-link stuff instead of plain text.
