Where it came from
Varina, Lich Queen originally debuted in the Commander 2018 set before being reimagined as part of the Secret Lair series. This specific iteration was released as part of the 'Secret Lair x Arcane: Lands' adjacent promotional drops, utilizing the game's high-fantasy aesthetic to showcase alternate character interpretations. The card serves as a centerpiece for zombie-themed decks, functioning as a powerful commander that rewards players for filling their graveyard with creature cards.
The artwork for this version was commissioned from illustrator Fay Dalton, known for her sophisticated, mid-century pulp aesthetic. Dalton moved away from the traditional grimdark depiction of the lich queen, opting instead for a stylized, noir-influenced presentation that highlights Varina's regal and cold authority. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who favored the distinct, illustrative departure from the standard Magic: The Gathering art direction, cementing its status as a sought-after aesthetic variant.
