Count Von Count is back and he's here for revenge! The last thing you'll ever hear will be his maniacal laughter and your life total counting down!

This is my take on an Edgar Markov EDH deck. It goes wide with multiple tribal token generators with a lifegain sub-theme with the ability to utilise that lifegain for card advantage and removal. I'm focusing on and for the vampires, the lifegain and the removal, but I'm splashing to get some extra utility and help in getting damage through.

I am aiming for a more mid-range deck instead of the aggro build which I have seen elsewhere. I wanted most of my creatures to have useful effects once they were on the battlefield rather than just being extra bodies, e.g. Vona, Butcher of Magan and Dark Impostor adding some extra creature removal, Viscera Seer as a sac outlet and Olivia's Bloodsworn to give key vampires haste. I tried to keep a decent number of the creatures under 3 CMC to utilise Bishop of Rebirth to the fullest (I have a foil one and I'm determined to run it).

I've included artifact ramp and a well rounded removal package. I'm a bit constrained by budget, I know Shared Animosity is better for my purpose than Coat of Arms , but I just can't afford one right now.

I'm working on a proper primer and will update this when it's finished.

Any advice would be appreciated!
