Varina (EDH / Commander)

Hi guys,

this deck idea started with Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver (see here: https://deckstats.net/decks/121877/2352249-wilhelt-the-combomaster) but it didn't went so good. The reason I changed to Varina, Lich Queen is that she has everything you need on one card. Carddraw, Discard (this is a little downside but we will make the best out of it), Lifegain and Tokens. Last but not least she enables "white" as additional (compared to Wilhelt) color.

It is definetely not the final version of this deck. I will keep it updated as soon the changes are made. So far it went good as a midrange deck but if you ask me it is really to slow. Since the zombies in this deck are not super strong because their main intention is to be a tool, you will be overwhelmed by creature-heavy decks. This means it must be faster and provide more cannon fodder in order to survive till we get all combo pieces in hands. These are the combos which made it from the old deck in this new one:

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Diregraf Colossus OR Headless Rider ("Infinite" Tokens / colored Mana)
Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Diregraf Captain OR Vengeful Dead OR Corpse Knight OR Wayward Servant (OR Undead Augur) ("Infinite" Lifeloss)
Rooftop Storm + Acererak the Archlich ("Infinite" venture into the dungeon (except Tomb of Annihilation))
Rooftop Storm + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Diregraf Captain OR Vengeful Dead OR Corpse Knight OR Wayward Servant (OR Undead Augur) ("Infinite" Lifeloss, "Infinite" Mana)
