Cards from the latest Standard or Modern sets tend to be much more affordable, like: Finneas, Ace Archer (BLB-348) at $119 Deflecting Swat (CMM-698) at $76 Twinflame Tyrant (FDN-427) at $85 So, is Magic the Gathering expensive
The same thing happened with Beanie Babies, some of which sold for $10,000 in the late 90s and are worth less than $10 now
It might get interesting in Temur control as well, where it could support a strategy of ramping into threats while keeping the board under control
While the initial hype for the card has certainly died down, Varina is brought up in discussions about zombie tribal decks when Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver wont do and a player doesnt want to take on Green for Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
If there is, itll drop fast and far
