Zombie sworm by Maxum16

Format: Commander

Commander: Varina, Lich Queen

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Varina, Lich Queen commands an aggressive Esper Zombie aristocrats engine that transitions seamlessly into lethal sacrifice loops. The primary plan leverages Varina to loot through the library, fill the graveyard, and build board presence with Zombie tokens. The deck wins primarily through compact infinite combos. Key lines include recurring Gravecrawler with Phyrexian Altar and a drain creature like Diregraf Captain, repeating persist triggers with Putrid Goblin and Metallic Mimic or Thran Vigil, and assembling Mikaeus, the Unhallowed with Triskelion or Walking Ballista. Redundant recursion and sacrifice outlets allow the deck to pivot flexibly between swarm aggression and sudden combo finishes.
