A Mardu Vampire tribal precon led by Edgar Markov that floods the board thanks to Eminence and keeps pressure on from turn one. It wins by stacking lord effects and drain triggers until the table gets buried under Vampires.








Edgar Markov is the definition of "play Vampires, get paid." Even from the command zone, every Vampire you cast comes with a free token, which means your board grows faster than it has any right to. You want to curve out aggressively, stack a couple of lord or anthem effects, and start forcing blocks early while opponents are still setting up. Finishing is usually a matter of turning that swarm into a real clock with pumps, evasion, and a few drain effects that make racing miserable. Edgar entering the battlefield later turns your already-large team into a sudden lethal threat, and opponents often run out of removal before you run out of Vampires. This deck is not subtle, but it is very effective at punishing slow starts and greedy mana bases. If you are upgrading it, smoother mana and more efficient Vampires at the low end make the whole deck feel faster and meaner.
