Vara Scream

First I take very little credit for this deck. I originally got the core of it from JonahVeil, but I think he may have been brewing or playing submitted decks. I made some tweaks on card counts, but the main change was swapping the blue merchant for Kerendon Merchant. Losing my own aegis when I play Vara, Vengeance-Seeker feels bad.

This deck took me from silver 3 to masters this season in the 4 days since I finished the campaign and constructing the cards. I'm fairly new to Eternal (3-4 weeks I think?), I played Skycrag Agro for a 2ish weeks before this. Definitely not claiming it's amazing it has its weaknesses, but if it let me climb the ladder in 4 days so I felt it earned a write up. I've definitely run into similar decks in Diamond so this list may already basically be out there, but here are my thoughts.

- Deck centers around Vara, Vengeance-Seeker interacting with Haunting Scream and Mirror Image, and playing/drawing from the void.
- Use Gorgon Fanatic + Haunting Scream to draw cards.

- There is a lot of removal for various situations.
-- Use them conservatively though.
-- Rindra's Choice is also useful against temporal to set up a big bad charge/flying Vara, Vengeance-Seeker or 2 with Mirror Image.

- Dark Return Should be saved for a Vara, Vengeance-Seeker who has been hit by Haunting Scream.
- Last Chance is useful to bring back people for lethal and necessary blocking of lethal but I try to avoid using it on Vara, Vengeance-Seeker

- Ripknife Assassin is a solid early blocker with deadly that wards off a lot of early damage.

- Save Last Chance for creatures that have revenge, death triggers, food recursion topics, etc.
-- Great Last Chance if you have an extra one in your hand.

- Acquisitive Crow is just a solid card.
-- It almost always draws removal because of the rng potential. So it is great bait before you play Vara, Vengeance-Seeker.
-- If you do get to farm spells even a little bit it can yield attachment removal, pings, and counters which can come in handy.

- Abduct is surprisingly useful against everyone, except unitless control.
-- Stealing Azindel, the Wayfinder just feels good even if you probably won't ever bring it back to play.
-- Stealing Vara, Vengeance-Seeker is just amazing. It sets up so much potential if you have early Haunting Scream or Dark Return.

- Rindra, the Duskblade is probably my least favorite card in this deck. It's strong but I just wish it was Vara, Vengeance-Seeker every time I play it.
-- Still a great blocker with lifesteal and it is pretty easy to keep nightfall up. I used to run Dusk Raider as well (I want to find a way to work it back in) which helps with nightfall and has great synergy with the void recursion in this deck.

I hope someone found this helpful, GLHF!
