Notes
 
Newest cards to consider:

- Awaken the Erstwhile (not in Deckbox yet)

What Varina wants:

- Lots of zombies attacking (for drawing and discard)
- Cards in the graveyard to make zombie tokens (instant speed)

What gives lots of zombies:

- Token generators / multipliers
- Zombie recursion

Token value:

- Token buffers

Draw value:

- Mill through draw
- Lab Maniac
- Alhammarret's Archive

Discard value:

- Cycling/discard matters (for example - Shadow of the Grave)
- Graveyard gets filled

Graveyard value:

- (Mass) Reanimation
- Delve
- Zombie value
- Flashback / Jump-Start
- Wonder

Lifegain value:

- Aetherflux Reservoir
- Lich's Mastery (which combo's well with Varina, and like crazy with Varina + Alhammarret's Archive)

Value from a huge board of zombies:

- Value from them entering the battlefield
- Value from them dying
- Value from sacrificing them
- Value from lords and anthems

Non-Varina combos:

- Xathrid Necromancer + Arcane Adaptation (human) + sac outlet = infinite sac value
- Rotlung Reanimator + Arcane Adaptation (cleric) + sac outlet = infinite sac value

Gravecrawler combos:

- Gravecrawler + zombie + Arcane Adaptation (sliver) / Hivestone + Basal Sliver = Infinite black mana
- Gravecrawler + Diregraf Colossus + Arcane Adaptation (sliver) / Hivestone + Basal Sliver = Infinite black mana + infinite tokens
