Zombie Value Package

The thought is to augment the core cycling engine and leverage Varina, Lich Queen for free draw/discard triggers. (Also filtering out non-cycling cards.) The Scarab God also helps to filter out non-cycling cards and is another life drain to stack on top of Faith of the Devoted .

The main cost is creating zombie tokens. Both offer their own ways to create zombie tokens but splashing in a couple other cards that are targetable by Astral Slide or Astral Driift makes this a strong engine with very little overhead. - Grave Titan Can create 2 zombies per turn if blinked. (4 if it's able to attack.) - Noosegraf Mob can create tokens forever, and could even work well with a Rule of Law effect since it's hard to remove if we can cycle it in response to the one spell the player casts. - Overseer of the Damned becomes a strong removal engine while also adding tokens.

1x Grave Titan 1x Noosegraf Mob 1x Overseer of the Damned 1x Rakshasa Gravecaller 1x The Scarab God 1x Varina, Lich Queen
