Zombies V3 by user7696526

Format: Commander

Commander: Varina, Lich Queen

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Varina, Lich Queen is an Esper graveyard Zombie machine. The core is to attack with Zombies; Varina turns each attacker into a draw, and the discard is used as fuel, not wasted. The graveyard becomes a pool for token creation, recursion, and a compact draining loop. The main loop uses Gravecrawler with a sacrifice outlet and a Zombie trigger such as Plague Belcher, Corpse Knight, or Wayward Servant, usually backed by Rooftop Storm or Phyrexian Altar. A strong fallback path is attrition with Zombie swarms and planeswalkers, closed out by Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate. This is solely Varina's deck; there is no double-faced commander and no separate hidden commander.
