Varina, Lich Queen
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2019 3:31 pm
I have gone back and forth on a number of tribal decks in the past. I started with Garza Zol, Plague Queen with Vampires, which moved into Edgar Markov and then I tried Grimgrin, Corpse Born for Zombies. I had stayed away from Thraximundar because it was already being used by someone in my group and red is really my least favorite color in EDH anyway.
After those were all taken apart for a variety of reasons, I really got the itch to try out another tribal deck and Varina was top of that list. I enjoy Zombies much more than Vampires and after seeing some of the things being done and discussed in toctheyounger77's Varina thread, it seemed like this would fit my style more. White is not my favorite color in EDH (that honor goes to Blue) but, for some reason, it is the most prevalent color among my EDH decks so it made sense to try it out here.
Now, there are not many good zombies with White in them, but the support cards are still really good. The deck itself isn't too far outside the norm of what a Zombie deck would be. There are a lot of common includes with some cards, like Alhammaret's Archive, here because of their synergy with Varina.
The main focus of the deck is to simply swarm with zombies as fast and effectively as possible. In the event that our board is wiped (which can happen often) we have mass reanimation spells to help us get back on track. A few cards are used as single reanimation to get back important cards as well.
