Re-making my first EDH deck, Olivia Voldaren into Mardu vampires using Edgar Markov from the newest commander set. Advice is welcome in the comments!!

Strategy/Playing Style:

My goal is an aggro vampire tribal deck (not really control or lifegain focused) - so lots of low costing vampires to trigger Edgar Markov while he's in the command zone. Then put out vampire lords and other powerful creatures or artifacts/enchantments that will buff my vampire army and be ready to attack with Edgar when he comes out.

Possible Changes:

I have now finalized my list to 100 cards that I'm happy with, but a few on the maybe board I might consider adding since I haven't play tested at all yet:

Kheru Mind-Eater & Stromkirk Occultist - I initially liked as low costing vamps with a somewhat draw ability, but probably very difficult to actually use in certain situations.

Sun Titan - commander staple and plenty of targets but is it necessary here?

Stoneforge Masterwork - seems threatening on Edgar, but probably won't kill in one hit and I'm not going voltron so not really needed.

Vampire Nocturnus - My last count was 37 black cards so probably less than a 40% chance for him to flip, but he is one of my favorite vampires and could be a finisher

Cover of Darkness - I like the potential good evasion, but is it too situational?

Reconnaissance - cool trick with first/double strike but if I'm being aggro is it even necessary?

New cards I will include from the Ixalan set:

Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle - more vamps is always great and they have lifelink too!

Sanctum Seeker - can be really threatening with a large vampire army!

Unclaimed Territory - just a great tribal land

Legion's Landing - easy to flip and good utility land

Bishop of Rebirth - I have 15 targets so is good graveyard recursion

Cards I'm not considering:

My budget for cards is usually less than $5-6 unless I really want it or I already have it. So most of these cards are way over that price or I haven't decided if I want to buy:

Shared Animosity & Coat of Arms for tribal wincon

Konda's Banner & Urza's Incubator for tribal support

Mind's Eye for card draw

Gilded Lotus & Thran Dynamo for ramp

Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet &Nirkana Revenant just good vampires

Stay thirsty, my friends.
