A Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor EDH

"Brutal Without Mercy"

Varchild has been a character whos story I have followed far before she was ever printed on an actual card. So when I saw her card spoiled in commander 2018 I knew that someday I was going to have to make a commander deck with her at the helm. It took some time but I finally sat down one day and made a list with her at the helm. Varchild is the bringer of vengeance and retribution. So ride forth and let chaos and destruction revel in your wake!
