I'm not sure how reliably you get to , but Together Forever may be worth testing. It came out after I'd already retired my Edgar list, or I'd give a first hand account. It does wonders for saving key pieces in my Reyhan/Ishai counters deck though.

I'd also work on your draw engines. Skullclamp 100% needs a spot and you should also consider Dark Prophecy , Necropotence , Greed , and possibly Herald's Horn . I'd drop Read the Bones, one time draw doesn't do much for aggro.

I'm guessing you've either seen my list already or at least one of my many many posts advocating Reconnaissance... but just in case, Edgar's Dega Vampires. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated.

Last_Laugh: Together Forever does seem interesting! It's one of those cards that slinks under the radar in a "less played" set like Battlebond. I may have to check it out, for now I want to see how Etchings of the Chosen works out. SO far it has done very well in the few matches it has come up.

I am super conscious of the need to improve my card draw, that said I think I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on the power of one-time draw. One-time draw is super consistent and actually does stuff the turn you throw it unlike cards like Dark Prophecy . Speaking of Dark Prophecy , I tried running Skullclamp at one point ant my deck ran into two issues with it. First, my vampires are usually way to strong to just die to Skullclamp . My tokens are usually 2/2's at the minimum I'd say 90% of games. Tied to that, I don't a sufficient number of sacrifice outlets to fuel cards like Skullclamp and Dark Prophecy . If anything I'm likely to add cards like Night's Whisper or Syphon Mind as they give you instantaneous draw and are more color friendly. I also already run Herald's Horn , great card and I'm glad I bought a precon because of that price tag on an uncommon!

Funny story about Reconnaissance , a friend of mine at my LGS showed it to me, and I loved it! Picked it up for a couple bucks and I worked it in pretty early in the deck's life cycle. It puts up great results every time it comes out!

Quite competent Edgar list relative to many I have seen. I have a lot of experience playing Edgar Markov which leads to several questions about your list. The main question I have for this list is why include swords to plowshares and path to exile. From my experience I find that there are not really any decks that have creatures too problematic to attack through and the amount of stax type creatures that impact Edgar Markov seem to few. The main creatures I find are problematic are voltron creatures which normally cannot be targeted by single target removal. Would not austere command and/or merciless eviction better choices to deal with artifacts and enchantments are often more problematic

VampRamped: Competent is what I'm going for! I think we view Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile as different tools. It sounds like you would use them to "plow the road" for your vampire army, so to speak. I view them as defensive tools to protect myself from the crack back that inevitably comes when you swing all-out at someone.

Artifact and enchantment removal is definitely something I need to improve upon. I currently run two unconditional removal spells, and one each for artifacts and enchantments. I'm hesitant to run board wipes due to the deck's glass-cannon nature. That is to say oftentimes a board wipe would put me in a more difficult recovery situation than my opponents more battlecruiser/midrange decks.

It's honestly been a minute since I took a good, hard look at a lot of my decks and done a reevaluation for meta changes and overall shifts in the deck itself. Maybe its time for a review.

LordBlackblade I absolutely agree with Edgar Markov being quite the glass cannon deck,especially when your creatures get wiped that is why I suggested Austere Command and Merciless Eviction . As they are modal and you can choose to not wipe your own creatures. Also if you find yourself blown out alot by a boardwipe and you did not have teferi's protection or Boros charm available I would strongly recommend playing Living Death and Patriarch's Bidding . I found that once I included these cards a boardwipe was not much of a setback. I also have a lengthy piece on many of the other very practical and powerful things you can do specifically with living death within my own list you are more than welcome to check out.
