Brewing a Varina deck. Most excited about interactions with Archfiend of Ifnir and Alhammarret's Archive because that shit's bananas. BANANAS.

The deck is currently aimed not at tokens, but at a semi-aggressive life drain strategy using the powerful hand-shaping abilities of Varina. Basically, the idea is to get one of the many bleeders (Corpse Knight, Vengeful Dead, etc) in play and then generate lots of zombies, maybe via tokens with Ghoulcaller Gisa or God-Eternal Oketra, maybe Tombstone Stairwell, or maybe just lots of straight up zombies. Then, we drain our opponents for massive chunks of life.

Again, the card selection abilities of this deck are huge, meaning you can fairly easily adapt as the game progresses. Super happy with the way it plays out so far, and it feels both aggressive and able to react to the board state in meaningful ways.
