Varis, the Dungeon’s Silent Tracker
Varis, Silverymoon Ranger, embodies the essence of exploration and vigilance that defines a true dungeon delver. With a mana cost of one generic and two green mana, this legendary Human Elf Ranger commands both reach and ward, making it a reliable defender against pesky flyers and a resilient target against hostile spells. Varis's ability to venture into the dungeon each time you cast a creature or planeswalker spell offers a steady progression through Adventures in the Forgotten Realms' signature mechanic, turning every play into a strategic advance deeper into peril. This feature synergizes well with token generators and planeswalker-heavy builds, ensuring you steadily carve out incremental advantages while maintaining board presence.
Completing a dungeon with Varis rewards you with a 2/2 green Wolf token, effectively converting your dungeon-crawling efforts into tangible battlefield assets. This token creation pairs elegantly with cards that benefit from having multiple creatures or enhance tokens for swarm strategies. Varis’s combination of ward 1 and reach provides durable defense, giving you breathing room to develop your adventure without succumbing to early aggression. For players weaving the lore and mechanics of Forgotten Realms into their decks, Varis is a dependable companion guiding your party through every chamber and challenge.
