Linda And The Deadites by user3548883

Format: Commander

Commander: Varina, Lich Queen

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Varina, Lich Queen leads an Esper Zombie deck that turns attacking into card advantage and graveyard fuel. The primary plan is to build a Zombie board, attack to draw and discard, then convert those cards into tokens and drain life through death/ETB triggers. Secondary paths are reanimation (Animate Dead, Reanimate, Victimize, Zombie Apocalypse) and an infinite Gravecrawler loop with Ashnod's Altar and Carrion Feeder. Varina is the draw/life engine and token generator, but the combo and reanimation lines do not require her. There is no hidden commander; Funeral Room // Awakening Hall is a recursion/drain role player, not a second commander.
