Deck overview

Esper Zombie-tribal deck led by Varina, Lich Queen, built around turning her attack-trigger looting into a zombie horde and a loaded graveyard. The main plan is wide and recursive: produce 2/2 Zombie tokens via Varina, Cryptbreaker, Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, and Field of the Dead, double them with Anointed Procession, pump them with Death Baron and Undead Warchief, and swing. The graveyard is a second hand: Reanimate, Necromancy, Zombie Apocalypse, and Grimoire of the Dead recur big pieces like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and The Scarab God, who also serves as an alternate life-drain win. A compact equipment/voltron subtheme-Colossus Hammer, Puresteel Paladin, Skullclamp-supports both an early beater and the deck's deterministic engine, with Rooftop Storm + Gravecrawler generating an army of 4/4 Zombies and cards. The cleanest single-hit finisher is the Unstoppable Slasher + Bloodletter of Aclazotz pairing.
