Vamp by DracoKn27

Format: Commander

Commander: Edgar Markov

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an aggressive Mardu Vampire tribal deck led by Edgar Markov, whose Eminence ability generates a 1/1 Vampire token each time you cast another Vampire spell - effectively doubling your board presence without casting the commander. The deck blends a wide, fast go-wide combat plan with a compact infinite-drain combo (Exquisite Blood + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or any life-drain trigger). Lords like Legion Lieutenant and Stromkirk Captain pump the swarm, while drain payoffs such as Blood Artist and Cruel Celebrant turn creature deaths and lifegain into direct damage. The commander's haste and attack-trigger pump make him a potent finisher, but the deck can win without ever casting him thanks to the Eminence token engine. Recursion from Olivia, Crimson Bride and Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord provides recovery after wipes.
