This littel Commander Deck is more meat o be more fluffy than competitiv so I only used this in rather casual matches, but it worked quite well...

The winning strategy for this deck is rather simple, play knights, turn them into Vampires with Olivia, Mobilized for War and Mephidross Vampire to synergise with Edgar Markov and blast everything away with vampire knights that get pumped up by Knight Exemplar , Kinsbaile Cavalier , Door of Destinies , Konda's Banner and Vanquisher's Banner .

Getting Haakon, Stromgald Scourge into your graveyard with ideally Buried Alive is the next step, to get all the knights back to the battlefield when they die. Call the Bloodline and Peace of Mind as well as Olivia, Mobilized for War can help you getting Haakon into your graveyard, if you if he is already in your hand. To trigger their abilities you can use your other knights as soon as Haakon, Stromgals Scourge is on the battlefield.

With Thalia's Lancers and Forerunner of the Legion you can either Tutor for Olivia, Mobilized for War or if she already is on the battlefield Mathas, Fiend Seeker , Haakon, Stromgald Scourge or Arvad the Cursed .

As Edgar's Eminence ability does not trigger normal the "normal knights" even with Mephidross Vampire or Olivia out on the Battlefield it is always better to play him as soon as possible, because only about half of the creatures in this deck enter the battlefield als Vampires.

On the side, there are some lifegain synergies in this deck with Peace of Mind + Well of Lost Dreams to provide you with extra carddraw or Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond as well als Sanguine Bond + Sanguine Sacrament to finish single enemys off. If you managed to build up a litte Vampire swarm Sanctum Seeker + Sanguine Bond will seal the deal too.

Eventually Black Knight and White Knight will be swapped out for their Dominaria couterparts Knight of Malice and Knight of Grace as they seem more reliable due to the colorless mana in their cost.
