Zombie tribal deck with Varina, Lich Queen in the helm. You play and run face with as many zombies as you can, draw through your deck and if opponents aren't overrun yet, you can finish off with a graveyared combo.

The deck has few lords to strengthen your armies like Lord of the Undead and Death Baron. You get many benefits from sacrificing your zombies to altars or f.ex. Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver. Varina's ability to draw and discard has also benefits, apart from finding what you need. Bone Miser, Crucible of Worlds and Library of Leng support this aspect, and all the graveyard returning effects help also. It's almost more effective mill, as you get the best cards to hand.

The most important card in the deck is Rooftop Storm. It enables many combos like Altar of Dementia + Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm and Phyrexian Altar + Relentless Dead + Rooftop Storm . If you want to win with it, play it at the last moment. But like I said, the deck fan just win by going face, as you can generally outvalue the board every time with Dictate of Erebos type effects.

Now raise your armies and shamble on to victory!
