DESCRIPTION
This Varina Lich tribal can be separated into two tactics: Zombie tribal and Lich Shenanigans. 2/5 of the deck works like a simple zombie tribal to hide the difficult and funny part. Most zombies provide +1/+1 to its kind, a little bit of card draw, recursion, life gain/drain and zombie tokens. As Varina creates her own zombies the deck doesn't need more to have a solid base (of blockers and life gain for later). I added every Lich that makes sense in this deck. 3/5 of the deck try to get Lich out, to protect it or protect us and to switch life with our opponents. The color identity is based on many black cards, so we have devotion and swamps to generate the needed high mana amounts to make this plan work. If our opponents play too much control, counter spells and disruption the deck can rely on its zombie plan. Power level is in between 5/10 and 7/10, depending if the opponents know what is coming and/or the disruption factor is too high or if they are being fooled by zombies.
