A pure aggro deck designed to abuse Edgar Markov 's free and busted eminence ability to the max. It turns out vanilla 1/1's aren't that bad when you get a free token on every cast. While this deck wasn't inherently designed to be competitive, it does a decent amount of work on typically two other people at the table. Overall, aggro in commander is a rare experience and this deck provides a nice outlet to do just that. The game plan typically follows flooding the board, then dropping some bomb card such as Shared Animosity or vampire lords to put the beats on some poor soul. If this doesn't happen or the board gets wiped, key card draw cards like Necropotence or Ad Nauseam can easily get you back into the game. Edgar himself isn't cast a ton here unless the game drags on, your actual commander is Necropotence and continues to be the most powerful card to tutor for at most parts of any game.

There are no real complicated synergies included here, but a few cards appear that are usually doubted by most in commander:

  • Any seemingly bad one or two CMC vampire is miles better than usual because of our eminence trigger, the ability to flood the board with Edgar is disgusting. Recovering from board wipes occurs quicker than expected compared to most aggro decks in the format (all like five of them lol... commander).

  • Don't worry about the accessibility of receiving the City's Blessing, in commander getting it is a joke anyways but here it is second nature.
