black instant cards mtg Agonizing Demise - Invasion - Magic - Common - Type: Instant, Colors: Black, Red,

Varina combines aggression with card selection, which allows you to filter your hand, gain life, and build your graveyard just by attacking

making one hasty 2/2 for 3 mana is okay, 2 is on rate in terms of power to mana, and it only gets better from there

While a good addition to those decks, this isnt Bristly Bill, Spine Sower

The Verdict The theming in this deck is really tight, and I think it perfectly straddles the line between simple to understand and effective at higher levels of play. As someone whos been wanting to build Gisa and Geralf, Im considering picking this deck up just to get a jump start on it

It is good but it is not nuts, six mana is a lot for a value/utility card and as such it is quite narrow

It strikes me as an excellent tool for combating battlecruiser-heavy EDH metas
