VampRamped Sorry for a very very late reply.

Skymarcher Aspirant could definitely replace Duskborne Skymarcher here (or run both). He's just here to give me an evasive 1 drop.

Vampire Nighthawk and Nighthawk Scavenger are both in the list now. I like flyers, especially ones that trade up... or better yet deter attacks.

Bloodlord of Vaasgoth probably isn't necessary but the deck is built as more of a midrange aggro deck than full tilt aggro. I was happy with the card personally. I don't see too much spot removal but rather a LOT of wraths... thus me running 4 different anti-wrath cards.

Olivia Voldaren is gone now. Sangromancer is here to be a flyer and to offset a lot of self inflicted life loss. Again, a bit of a meta call because he was triggered frequently.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor definitely deserves the spot over Sorin Imperious Bloodlord here. Bloodlord's +1 only effects 1 creature, his minus is just Lightning helix with a forced sac, and his ult wants fatty vamps which the deck runs sparingly. Solemn Visitor's +1 is 'until your next turn' so it's insanely good with Reconnaissance and gains massive amounts of life, deters attacks, or they forget about it and immediately regret attacking. Other than making the occasionally needed 2/2 flyer that's all he does here.

As far as my 2 drop rocks go, you could attempt this deck without them but I wouldn't recommend it. This really is more of a midrange aggro strategy but it worked really well in my meta. This is the rare Edgar list that doesn't mind a game going to 20+ turns.

I see so it is actually a bit more of a midrange Edgar Markov deck which is fair enough. Midrange Edgar Markov decks are quite reasonable lists.

Is there any way to keep the price tag down? What lands could you cut to make it more affordable?

The 6 off color fetches and Prismatic Vista could be dropped (Vampire Nocturnus goes with them though). Yawgmoth's Will, Land Tax, Cavern of Souls, Mana Crypt, and Vampiric Tutor can go. Also a few foils are half the price or less in nonfoil like Demonic Tutor and Necropotence. Not sure how low you're trying to go but the 13 (+2 foil) cards I suggested significantly lower the pricetag.

Alright, Thanks!

Forerunner of the Legion and Welcoming Vampire work very well together.

爛套牌 這種也可以當評價最高 我也是醉了................垃圾套牌就不要往自己臉上貼金了好嗎?????

Alright guys, I did a huge subjective 11 card overhaul to this deck to bring it up to date. If you think I'm missing something, speak up... I may not play the deck anymore but I like it to be a good reference for others.

Wouldn't it be better to replace Exquisite Blood (a card that on its own does nothing) and Vito, since having another way to close out games means your deck is failing in achieving its main objecting (aka killing by combat damage), and therefore it'd be good to revise it?

strong textAEtherialize They're both here for the lifegain, not the combo. A lot of lifegain in this list is pretty necessary because most of my card draw like Necropotence, Plumb the Forbidden, Dark Prophecy, etc. ripped through my life total (and I draw hate from the table no matter what I play).

Why not Use Whip of Erebos then instead of the enchantment?

Tbh I don't like Artifact Enchantments, every color can remove them but only 2 colors can reliably deal with enchantments. It's also a bit of a meta call but ties into the same reasoning because I don't see as much enchantment removal as I should.

Hi! Thank you for always updating the deck. I love to see what you add so big big thanks. Any thoughts on the card Blood for the Blood god? Cheers!

hobosss That card is on my radar personally but not for this deck (not that it'd be a bad addition). I think its value increases if you're running more of an Aristocrats build because you can proactively use the card instead of just reacting to boardwipes or combat. I'm eyeballing it for my Grixis Marchesa list because it is built around sacrificing my stuff for value.

Hi, I'm running Markov and I was wondering what made you stick with Sorin, Solemn Visitor instead of going with other options such as Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord ?

Kingtao I ran that version of Sorin for his +1. That lifelink and small pump is until your next turn which makes it REALLY good with Reconnaissance. The lifegain is also needed to offset things like Dark Prophecy and my mana base. Also, when people realize that swinging into you actually nets you life, they swing elsewhere... or they forget it's until your next turn and regret swinging (I'd read the +1 as I did it and people still forgot... a lot).

Thank you, it make more sense now, even though I run this one, I never took the time to properly understand it. As for Reconnaissance it's really a huge piece of my deck, as you recommended to me when I first started, thank you again

200th upvote!

I like it, could use a few more 1-drop vamps but you did a good job with this.

Hey sorry to double comment but I have a question: how do you feel about 32 lands?

I know on average people run 33-36 lands but space was tight in my own build so I'm trying out 32.

YamishiTheWickedOne Thanks for the 200th upvote, first deck to 200! As far as 32 lands go, it kinda depends on your meta and the deck itself. If your meta allows friendly mulligans or if your avg cmc is 3.0 or below and you run a decent amount of 0 to 2 drop ramp you can make it work... otherwise I suggest 35 lands as a baseline.

Hey man, long time since we talked :) I finally got a Yawgmoth's Will in my collection and I remember you used one in your Edgar deck :) why did you cut it? I still need to playtest it, thinking of adding it to Marchesa aswell... Happy holidays mate, cheers.
