Edgar Markov (copy) by Kattz17

Format: Commander

Commander: Edgar Markov

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Edgar Markov is both engine and payoff: his eminence creates a 1/1 Vampire token for every Vampire spell from the command zone, and the front face's attack trigger lets that token swarm outgrow a board. There is no hidden commander; the list is built around using the eminence side every turn and the battlefield side once Edgar comes down. The primary path is a wide, low-curve Vampire beatdown with constant chip drain from Pulse Tracker, Sanguine Syphoner, Wispdrinker Vampire, and death triggers. Secondary paths include recursive swarm through Edgar, Charmed Groom and Dread Return, and a mana-dump Exsanguinate finish. Reanimation and prepared tutoring give it a grindy backstop if the first wave is answered.
