While most players I've seen attempt to play Edgar Markov as yet another green commander, that is build your boardstate until you can kill the table in one fell swoop to not make enemies along the way, this deck focuses on killing them before they can make their mind up. You ARE the threat, if no one wipes the table before turn 5-8 the game is probably over.

While piloting this deck just remember to attack the player most likely to respond to you first, that is: that guy with five board wipes in his deck, the blue control player, the grave pact user etc. You can kill the rest of the people later anyway.

As for mulligans, aim for 2-3 lands and a bunch of cheap vampires. You can easily kill players or win games with just 5 or so lands in the whole game.

Notable interactions include Archangel of Thune with lifelink vampires, extort from Blind Obedience or Tithe Drinker . The biggest boardstates I've had so far were coming from Archangel of Thune and lifelink tokens, made either by Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle or Elenda, the Dusk Rose , as every separate lifelink instance activates a separate Archangel trigger.

Overall the deck can be separated into two main parts: the cheap vampries, used to make you tokens and then the buffers, such as Edgar Markov , Archangel of Thune , vampire lords, Rakish Heir or Stensia Masquerade . This group also includes the wonder cards which are Coat of Arms and Shared Animosity , giving you kill potential as soon as they hit the table.
