Hey folks, I was given Edgar and a few combo pieces for Christmas, and I've had trouble building him. Right now, I've got all these cards, but I don't know what to cut and what to focus on. I'm by no means an experienced deck builder, I've built a few decent decks from simple commanders that are pretty easy to build for (Miirym, Astarion, and Wilhelt) but Edgar is a bit more complicated and I don't really know what to do with him. What I'd like to do (if it's possible) is run him with a mostly vampire life-gain/life-drain Aristocrats-style deck that can maybe go wide with vampire tokens (as in if I get the worst draws possible, I can still maybe do something before getting wrecked).

But, whether that's really possible or not, I need help with figuring out what to cut from here to make the deck as powerful as it can be with these cards, plus if I need some mana rocks and, if so, what to replace with them. I'm not a huge fan of combos, so aside from Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond I'd be fine with only one other, and maybe another alternate win-con besides Test of Endurance.
