Varolz and his voracious appetite are here to dominate the field via hard beats and a balanced diet!

Deck's main focus is to flood the board with 'snacks' for the troll to nom on while disrupting the opponent's hand and board state. Once Varolz is in play, feed the guy with the scavenging you'll be doing!

Here are a few key functions to note:

• You don't have to deal combat damage all down to zero! Many games have been won via Blood Artist + Varolz, the Scar-Striped + Zulaport Cutthroat bleed outs. If it means winning in a turn, launch everything at the opponent's face, then snack on down to the victory!

• Sometimes you just need recursion! Good sources of this include Shambling Shell , Relentless Dead, Gravecrawler, and Bloodsoaked Champion. These all make excellent sac targets for our Tiny Leader and Vampiric Rites, which synergize with Catacomb Sifter, the above combo, Tragic Slip, and my favorite, Bitter Ordeal!

More to come as I find more interactions from field testing!

Of course, open to comments and suggestions. Would love to hear what other wicked options are available!
