I found my Edgar Precon sitting next to the last Ur Dragon deck at a LGS. Only grabbed Edgar, regret not grabbing both..

Edgar was my first EDH commander. I'm liking these upgrade ideas to give it new life. :D

Ty for the video! It was nice to see another take on a Markov build.

Really love edgar markov super fun and agressive. My first expensive commander deck but 100% worth it,one card i would like to mention is rise of the dark realms can win you the game or even a purphoros pinging your friends to death

Love seeing tricked out decks people are excited about. Easy sub for more content like this!

Finally, another person that loves foil basic lands as much as me

Grandpa Edgar is my favorite deck that I'm slowly foiling over the years. I recomend considering a 4-mana Kalitas and a bojuka bog against all the graveyard shennanigans your opponents might pull. Also a blasphemous act is an amazing boardwipe that can even deal with Animar (which is a real pain for any black heavy deck).

I bought 2 of the Edgar Markov precons when they were first released. I love playing vampire tribal before Edgar came out. But as soon as I saw the deck list I had to have them, 1 to keep based and the other to make as good as possible. I even bought the playmat that came out for the commander 2017 release. And then Ixalan came out and made it even more degenerate and I have been extremely happy ever since.

4$ deckbox for a 1500$ deck bro lol

This is a beautiful looking deck..Gushing with jealousy and awe!

Edgar is probably my favorite deck that I've never built. It doesn't look like you're running a lot of the 1 cost vampires that the deck is pretty famous for nowadays

Cloudstone Curio is such a great idea! Having 2 single black mana vampires will push you out hell of an army with that one on the board. Added on my shopping list :D

If you want to up the saltiness of the deck, grave pact or dictate or erebos would be a good addition. Can trigger it off sacing tokens, or you can be a little extra aggressive in combat and force opponets to choose between combat damage or losing a creature to trade for one of yours.

This is really cool. I have an Edgar commander deck and I barely use any of these cards. Would love to see how yours plays and how different it is from mine!

Nice deck! I haven’t watched your other video yet for Animar, but I’ll check it out. I have an Aesi deck all foil that I’ve worked on for a while. Yuriko is my more competitive deck that costs just about as much!

A $1500 pimped-out deck... [Jealously sighs in Old School 93-94]

I recently bought Edgar myself about to finish up that commander. Thought I'd hop in and see what's in yours.

Any update on this Deck? I used 80% of your build as my Edgar Markov Deck, I am really satisfied with the land base.

Father of eminence 🧛🏻 🔥

Let's get it !! I've got an Edgar Markov deck as well. I love it, i also pulled one from a Walmart cube

I see $1600 deck. And I immediately think the lands are probably half the price 😂 lands are nutty.

I'm really glad I got the precon for free when it was released. Just added some tutors and an arid messa to it yesterday. Definitely do have to cut some vamps that I really don't need. I got really lucky too getting some awesome land cards out of my own zendikar rising collectors box. Also there's something about the triomes that I just don't like so I don't run them at all. I have a lot of them though. Might change my mind on it.

i cant wait to get back to playing commander at some point. i keep buying cards, but i cant get out to an lgs to play currently and i dont have a good setup for spelltable. edgar is my strongest deck currently, but not nearly as shiny and updated as yours.

Hahaha, I loved how you corrected your bad advice of buying boxes to get cards! SOOO expensive.

Love the list, thanks for sharing! I've seen a bunch of lists run alot of 1cc vamps: What is your take on that? (I think I prefer less 1cc but most lists have 8+)

Edgar Markov is love, Edgar Markov is life

I made an edgar markov deck like you, it has mostly the same vampires, the tutors, the ramp, but im using proxies since I put my stuff in my syr konrad and kenrith decks because I didn't want to be the hate bear at the table, I still am with kenrith, I think you should put in swords to plowshares for removal and kalitas traitor of ghet, along with drana kalistria blood chief, and maybe adaptive automaton and death priest of myrakul to boost up your deck, and if you got money laying around that you wanna bring the deck out more, mana vault and imperial seal went down in price due to double masters 2022 reprints, but im burnt out from money spending so maybe only if you want to maximize the deck if you feel like it, and get the boros fetch and shock lands and orzhov fetch and shocks, im not a professional deck builder either, im mostly a collector, just got back into playing and vampires were my first deck in 2011 with carnival of blood standard precon, I made a rakdos olivia voldaren commander deck back in 2012/13 but it wasn't nearly as powerful as the deck I have now, I also bought edgar off ebay last summer before the crimson vow, midnight hunt cards, and built my deck from scratch, I wish I had the tokens though, they look pretty cool

The mountain is unglued

nice foil deck, btw if you dont mind i ask. what camera are you using ? love the auto-focus

Very nice deck im working on my 350 $ golgari great henge deck its awseome 👽

hi! my ask do you have a link or the correct name with which i can find your transparent vampire token box? i really like it.

I want to build an edgar markov deck so bad

Very nice deck. I also run a decent Edgar deck. While mine is a little more heavy on removal than yours. Not exactly sure how high your mana curve is or how high you want to take it but there are really some back breaking cards you can put in on the cheap if you want to put a bit more power into it. I start with creatures. A couple that I can tell you put in quite a bit of work. 2 are a bit off tribe(1 shapeshifter with changling) First off is the total non tribe cards in Grey Merchant of Asphodel. I understand that it is off tribe and if you want all vamps its cool, but the value this will give you given that you will have a ton of black pips on board is huge. Second off is the shapeshifter, Mirror Entity. I have used his "x" ability quite a few times to boost up vampires in a pinch to great results and not something a lot of folks see coming. Lastly, Zagaras, thief of heartbeats. Flying, deathtouch and haste and gives all your creatures deathtouch, sign me up. Also has added benefit of any damage is dealt to a planeswalker its auto destroryed. I saw a bit of card draw, if I could suggest a couple more I would advise Deadly Dispute. Yes you sac a creature but what are your tokens for lol. It nets you two cards and a treasure token. Also with the life gain in this deck, while I wouldn't call it card draw, is Bolas's Citadel. With enough life and if you don't flip more than one land, you can have a very explosive turn. The last section i will just call the utility slot. All these cards have won me games with this deck. Mana value wise they are a bit on the higher end which might be why you don't have them in your deck., but well worth the casting costs. First off, Black Market. Creatures are going to be dying, so you will get a good amount of counters on it. Secondly, Patriarch's Bidding. If for some reason someone wipes the board and you are the only tribal deck, boom you are right back in the game. Lastly, and I think that this has led to more wins than anything in this deck for me, Ruinous Ultimatum. Yes, very expensive mana cost. Let me tell you though, not a lot of 1 sided board wipes in the game and this fits the bill. Out of all of these not many will cost you much at all. I think that I got Black Market for like $2, Bolas's citadel in foil for like $5, and a promo pack Ultimatum for like $2. Let me know what you think and sorry for the huge wall of text. Matt

this deck is cool..how many basic lands do you play?

i look all over my room for my cat until i realizes it was yours hahaha

Perfect Fits or Perfect Fit Hards? I’ve found the perfect fit hards work better for foils

I absolutely love this deck! I copied it. OMG EVERYBODY HATES ME. The deck is scary powerful and Edgar seriously makes a literal army. It is awesome. I took out 1 card I believe it is the 1 card that will scry when you sacrifice a creature for a newer card from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander and that is Charismatic Conqueror.

try adding All Will Be One, i think it is a great plus

Really like your Edgar you have a few better lands then mine and I run the same infinite combo. Just like you I win like 60-70% of the time. I also run this white 5cmc enchantment ( I forget the name) but you put a +1+1 counter everytime a creature comes into play under your control. It goes nuts lol. The hardest tokes. I wasn't able to get much of were my coil serpent tokens for my Koma deck. They were hard to find. I saw the foil coil tokens were going for $20 I said yeah no I'll pass 😂.

Hey brother, would it be possible to upload a decklist somehow? :)

Im the same way have to have tokens. Ran a gw token deck didnt have the token and only represent with dice i forgot creature type of the tokens cause it was dice

The last time I priced my treasure deck it was about 5000 bucks only counting the expensive stuff but if there is anything I have learned about mtg is that your decks price will change a lot based on reprints and availability also while those tokens are nice I would have opted for the first vampire token prints just as I have the first sliver token and zombie token as well as the elephant tokens nothing says expensive deck like a 50 buck zombie token lol

Im a lifetime modern player but starting to like edh. If I end up buying a deck itll be this!

Would you happen to have a deck list?

Is not so different from my edgar deck but there's better choices for some cards you are using.

omg you pronounced necropotence the same way I do!

Pfft, don't even have the judge foil Edgar...

Vampires need some good LORD's like the Zombies have .......Bloodline Keeper and Stromkirk Captain are good but another one good Lord would be amazing

Still waiting for the decklist :3

Fun fact: edgar markov is vigo the carpathian

can you do one for kadena as commander.

An estimated 60-70% win rate in your playgroup means you are either way wayyyyyy of with your estimate or the rest of your playgroup has chosen to optimize toward loosing games without telling you. Given a 4 player pod, you are looking at a naiv expected win rate of 25%. The power difference would have to be truly staggering to hope to win 70% of games.

can you list it?

deckslist?

My favourite card: Graven Karens

I’m here bc I just checked card Kingdom for an Edgar Markov and it’s like $120 for a regular art then $280 for a judge art WTF

Neck - crop - potence

Does skullclamp work with tokens being they dont actually go to the graveyard?

rudy is that you?

1500$ Deck and a 3$ deck box xD

pretty cheap deck, looks cool!

Necrapidense lol

Isn’t he banned in CEDH?

$1500 deck in a $2 deckbox?

Lmao in a plain box

In a 2$ deckbox

This is why I proxy 🤷🏻‍♀️

$1500 but only wins 60% of the time?

This is the second video I’ve seen where someone says there Edgar Markov deck wins 60% of its games. Could someone explain this to me. I dont understand this. This is pretty obviously not a competitive deck. It’s not particularly close. So why do players let the deck win 60%? Why don’t they just make their decks better? I never played “casual commander” so maybe I am missing something. In fact I know I am. My friends and I started playing edh a couple years ago but we didn’t know about any kind of “casual commander format”, whatever that even means exactly. So we just always tried to build powerful decks that tried to beat each other by whatever means necessary. Eventually we set a budget limit (at first) to keep it from being a pay to win situation. Now we are a proxy friendly group. But why would people just intentionally let this deck win 60% of games? I don’t understand this. Why don’t they just build better decks? Wouldn’t that be more fun for everyone? If anyone is under the illusion that they can’t build a better deck on a budget, that’s the only thing I can think of?? It’s not even remotely close to true. This Edgar Markov list would not even be part of the game at our $150 budget nights. If anyone needs help beating an Edgar Markov deck on a budget just let me know. Selvala Kinnan Malcom Kediss Yuriko Codie Any of these decks could be built sub $200 in ways that would make these types of decks (like this Edgar Markov deck) not really even be a part of the pod. Lemme know, anyone, if you feel like you are up against a pay wall or someone has taken off in your meta and you think you can’t win the arms race. Maybe I should make a RU-vid channel on exactly this subject. Post a comment to me and I’ll give you advice or just post one of my many sub $500 lists that threaten to win the game on turns 3-4 Or if you want a more midrange or control strategy I’m happy to help you w that too. I have a $150 Selvala list that wins very consistently turn 4 and a Codie list that I am working on that I’m sure can beat that 4 turn clock by maybe a full turn or at least it can be a turn 3.5 average at $150. There is zero reason to let someone w a non competitive list win 60% of games. Lemme know if you are in that situation. I’d love to help. 🖖namaste

This should be entitled “ Why I’m still a virgin”

U sound exactly like alpha investments

wins 60% of games *pulls out mathas* alright buddy you're just pubstomping your buddies

1.500 in foil cards … Nothing Special … sry

Expensive decks. Expensive tokens. This game is dead.
