Edgar Markov

Edgar Markov Commander of the deck (and one of the best commanders of all time). Whether on the battlefield or in a command area. Edgar Markov creates a 1/1 Vampire token whenever Vampire is cast.. This causes the battlefield to grow exponentially faster and gives them a significant presence in the early game.

Eminence is activated from the command zone, so there is no need to rush. You can quickly gather a ton of vampires without having to cast Edgar. It's often better to wait to cast Edgar until you're ready to move on to victory in the endgame.

On the battlefield, Edgar Markov Increase the abilities of all vampires​​​​​​. It triggers when attacking, so as long as Edgar Markov is in combat, all vampires get +1/+1 bigger. Edgar has haste, so he can utilize the second effect immediately.

Malakir Blood Witch

Malakir Blood Witch It's the best way to get back into the game while damaging everyone else in the game. At that time Upon entering the battlefield, all opponents lose life equal to the number of Vampires you control, and you gain life equal to the number of Vampires you control..

Malakir Bloodwitch's strength is You lose all life from your opponent's stack.. So if there are 5 vampires, each opponent loses 5 lives and you gain a total of 15 lives. With an Edgar Markov deck, you're likely to become public enemy. Malakir Bloodwitch is therefore an important factor in reversing life loss while staying in the game and starting to build the battlefield.

generous nobleman
