Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Varina, Lich Queen Zombie tribal deck built around the graveyard as a resource. The commander functions as both a draw engine (attacking with Zombies triggers her card-draw and life-gain ability) and a repeatable token maker (by exiling graveyard cards). The game plan is to amass a swarm of Zombies through direct token generation, then finish by draining opponents via death/drain triggers from cards like Diregraf Captain, Corpse Knight, and Wayward Servant, or through an infinite Gravecrawler loop with Rooftop Storm and a sacrifice outlet (Carriage Feeder). Reanimator spells such as Zombie Apocalypse, Living Death, and Rise of the Dark Realms quickly recompose the board after a round of removal. The deck also includes some instant-speed interaction and a moderate layer of board protection through Clever Concealment and Flawless Maneuver.
