From my Goldfish post:

This deck is a Variant of other Edgar Markov commander decks. However it is geared for sacrifice of creature, particularly tokens. Edgar Markov produces tokens when you cast vampires, and other Edgar Markov decks have vampires with something like 'Whenever a creature die'. I figured, why not use sacrifice outlets to get the most out of this function. Here are some of the things that can be done with this added strategy:

• Mana ramp/acceleration. Card like Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Black Market, Priest of Forgotten Gods and Phyrexian Tower can add mana to your mana pool at a rate that can put you at a huge advantage. • Creature Removal. Using cheap or free tokens to remove creature paid in full or part can slow down your opponents, and get rid of many threats. This is achieved with Attrition, Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Butcher of Malakir, Anowon, the Ruin Sage, Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Voldaren Pariah and Priest of Forgotten Gods. This also get around hexproof and indestructible. • Land and artifact destruction. Achieved with Gate to Phyrexia and Shivan Harvest. • Token spawnings. Using Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Teysa, Orzhov Scion to generate more tokens, use to attack or sacrifice. (Elenda, the Dusk Rose+Blade of the Bloodchief and Teysa Karlov one the field is extremely potent.) • extreme damage, life gain and creature buff. Achieved with Patron of the Vein, Priest of Forgotten Gods, Cordial Vampire, Cruel Celebrant, Blood Artist, Kalastria Highborn, Indulgent Aristocrat and Teysa Karlov.

There is also huge amounts of tribal support; with +1/+1 counters and mana reduction. The tribal of this deck is boosted with cards like: Konda's Banner, (put on the commander) Heralds Horn, Urza's Incubator, Door of Destinies, Coat of Arms, Obelisk of Urd, Shared Animosity, Stensia Masquerade and many of the creatures help make small vampires into much stronger monsters. With all of these +1/+1 counters you can attack for lethal, then use Cauldron of Souls to get sacrifice effects over and over again.

However I am curious if there is sufficient lands/ mana sources. Any suggestions? (I would also like to know if there is any better cards I can put in the deck) Thank you :)
