A Varina zombie tribal deck. Low curve can put the pressure on in duel games, while the card selection provides staying power in longer multiplayer games. Landbase needs work.

Potential cuts:

• From Under the Floorboards : Madness is a cute Varina synergy but I don't know if it is high-impact enough.

• Mystic Confluence : Holding up 5 mana hurts. At least I can burn it on Varina if I don't cast it.

• Unburial Rites : Mana heavy resurrection, but you can do it from the yard. Doesn't hurt to discard with Varina.

• Cemetery Reaper : Bottom tier lord in my opinion and the list has plenty of them.

• Carrion Feeder : Do i need such a low-impact sacrifice outlet?

• I will likely swap Mind Stone once I pick up a Fellwar Stone or appropriate talisman.

Cards in their trial period:

• Risen Executioner : I originally liked it less than Cemetery Reaper but i am giving him a try.

• Open the Graves

Cards i am considering:

• Lich Lord of Unx

• Death Baron

• Midnight Reaper

• Reanimate

• Mystic Remora

• Terminus

• Liliana's Mastery

• Toxic Deluge

• Mana Drain . Mana Crypt , once i win the lottery.
