Edgar (opti) by olitologie

Format: Commander

Commander: Edgar Markov

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a classic Edgar Markov Vampire tribal aggro/aristocrats hybrid. The Eminence ability generates a 1/1 Vampire token on every Vampire spell cast - from the command zone, no less - so the deck snowballs a wide board of cheap Vampires, pumps them with a dense lord suite, and finishes through a combination of combat damage and table-wide life drain. The primary win is overwhelming the pod with a 10+ creature army backed by Sanctum Seeker, Blood Artist, and Vein Ripper; a secondary infinite line exists in Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Bloodthirsty Conqueror. The deck is fast, redundant, and rebuilds naturally through the command zone, but carries almost no stack interaction.
