Deck overview

This is a Edgar Markov Vampire swarm deck. Its strongest ordinary resource is eminence: every Vampire spell creates another Vampire while Edgar Markov remains in the command zone. Cheap Vampires then build a wide board that benefits from Legion Lieutenant, Captivating Vampire, Stromkirk Captain, Shared Animosity, and Edgar's attack trigger. The deck can convert that board into damage through combat, Sanctum Seeker, Malakir Bloodwitch, Bloodletter of Aclazotz, or aristocrat effects such as Blood Artist and Cruel Celebrant. It also contains the Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond infinite loop, but its high mana cost and limited access make it a secondary ceiling rather than the normal plan. Removal is broad against creatures but protection and stack interaction are weak. The deck usually assembles by turn 3, reaches a must-answer board around turn 6, and needs several combat steps to finish.
