Hello everyone, I have been tinkering around with a control build for Varina, Lich Queen, relying on her filtering and dedicating the rest of the deck to removal,permission and massive draw spells (which would also fuel her token creation ability).

i would also use the zombies both as fuel for the commander engine and combo (aristocrats style), but the creatures are at absolutely the minimum number.

at the moment the list has not been played, i'm planning to acquire the cards soon, but would rather have some suggestion before i proceed.

thank you very much!
