Varina, Lich Queen by dekus

Format: Commander

Commander: Varina, Lich Queen

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Varina, Lich Queen leads an Esper Zombie deck built to attack with Zombies, convert combat damage into card draw and graveyard fuel, and finish through either the Gravecrawler loop or a wide token swarm. The command zone supplies a repeatable draw engine and a token-production outlet, while the rest of the list reanimates, doubles, and drains. Its best line involves Phyrexian Altar with Gravecrawler and a drain trigger for infinite life loss; Rooftop Storm is the slower enabler. The Scarab God, Mikaeus, and Liliana, Untouched by Death provide backup recursion and pressure.
