Carrier Thrall

Creature — Vampire

When Carrier Thrall dies, create a 1/1 colourless Eldrazi Scion creature token. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Add ."

Vessiliana I'm concerned about screwing up my mana curve tbh. I cut Vampire Interloper, Olivia's Bloodsworn, Carrier Thrall and Bloodthrone Vampire to fit in three 3-drops, a 1 and a 2. Also cut Enlightened Tutor for Anointed Procession, though tbh I kinda do want the extra tutor. Enchantments and artifacts win games in EDH. Not sure what to do going forward.

Foster_I_Amkirbysan Crawling Chorus is definitely a great new addition, even though it's a bit boring. Currently, I'm torn on replacing either sultai emissary, carrier thrall, or ministrant. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts:

Sultai Emissary

  • A manifest is not a token, so it triggers all our non-token death triggers, including Grim Haruspex, Midnight Reaper, Pawn of Ulamog, and Luminous Broodmoth. Not that it comes up super often, but manifests have a particularly interesting interaction with broodmoth. If any manifested permanent dies, like a land, it will come back with a flying counter.
  • We can flip over the permanent if it's a creature, meaning manifested creatures are not only fodder but card draw. Because we have 35 creatures, Emissary will effectively draw us a card one third of the time.
  • The downside is that he's 2 mana for a fodder creature, and the manifest doesn't die to Skullclamp.

Carrier Thrall

  • Tokens can sac themselves and provide mana. He effectively pays for himself with Teysa out.
  • Both sides die to Skullclamp.
  • Unfortunately 2 mana to play.

Ministrant of Obligation

  • With Teysa out, has 5 bodies for one instead of 3.
  • 3 mana is even more unfortunate than 2.

Currently, I'm considering ministrant more heavily because of how inflexible 3 mana is. I was already thinking of replacing him for Hallowed Spiritkeeper because of more potential upside, so this might be the right time to replace.

Notoriousgzzz on budget token sac

hi! i like budget decks that suddenly are good, you can try Carrion Feeder for more sac outlet and something hitting hard, Nest Invader,Young Wolf and Carrier Thrall are faster to sacrifice than the skeleton and de 5 mana creature and if you can find Bloodghast in the future that would be good, i dont know how expensive they are right now, good luck!!

Foster_I_Am Just released the update, sorry for the lateness! I got caught up in school and work.

  • Hidden Stockpile is slow for token generation, but it does a good impression of Bitterblossom. As a sac outlet, it's inefficient since you have to pay mana. The real strength of the card is that it does both. Personally, I like my token-makers as death-triggers, and my sac-outlets as cheap creatures or artifacts that grant me mana. It's not a bad card though, so play it if you like it!
  • Tithe Taker: I'm more a fan of the mana utility provided by Carrier Thrall than the Grand Abolisher-lite effect from taker. If you find your playgroup constantly disrupting you on your turn, it could be worth it.
  • Bennie Bracks, Zoologist: He's great at 1-mana, but I think our current draw suite is stronger with a higher ceiling than 1-card per turn. And while we have token makers in the deck, we're not all in on a token strategy, so other decks have more to gain from his effect than we do.

Let me know what you think of the update and thanks for the suggestions!

kirbysan Black Market Connections is a super interesting card. It's definitely better than Phyrexian Arena which is its closest comparison at the moment. The versatility is strong since we can generate fodder, mana, or cards whenever we're lacking them. Making all 3 is a crazy strong option that can pull us ahead in the early game for 6-life per turn, which isn't the most when we have lots of lifegain potential in the deck. I'm pretty enthusiastic about this card right now, but I'm gonna sit on it for a bit until my next update when the full Baldur's Gate commander lists are released. Thanks for the suggestion!

Could use a few "insurance" cards in the event of a boardwipe and a few more 1-drops imo. Like Vampire Cutthroat, Shadow Alley Denizen and Changeling Outcast. Other highly recommended vamps are Gifted Aetherborn, Falkenrath Aristocrat, and personal favorite Mirror Entity, and ideal Skullclamp targets, Martyr of Dusk, Carrier Thrall and Dusk Legion Zealot.

All-in-all though I think you're absolutely on the right track for an aggressive Edgar build. This earns my seal of approval, but you can absolutely improve it further.

Pheardemons, I see your point. I think the lists I used to run had more sac targets like Carrier Thrall, Reassembling Skeleton, or Dreadhorde Butcher so I was able to get away wit it.

Something to think about though, you can count on your opponent trying to remove some of your more important cards, and just bank up extra food by sacking them first with Witch's Oven. This lets you sac Cauldron Familiar for other things like Spark Harvest and still return him to the battlefield with the extra food.

oh, as a followup comment: I'd strongly consider Martyr of Dusk and Carrier Thrall . Both make another token when they die and make ideal Skullclamp sacrifices.

Bloodcrazed Paladin too as an insurance policy in the event of a boardwipe.

I'm tempted to upvote this just because you actually have a good creature count for Edgar. I'm so tired of seeing decks with only like 30 vamps and most of them being upwards of 4 mana.

That said, I think you're a little bit heavy on artifacts/enchantments. Some like tremors are good, some like Shared Animosity are vital, but in terms on non-creature permanents, the only artifact you NEED is skullclamp. You have more than ample sacrifices thanks to Edgar to reload your hand.

I'm a huge fan of stuff like Carrier Thrall , Martyr of Dusk and Dusk Legion Zealot for clamp targets that give extra value. And my big 4 of Edgar decks are Shared Animosity, Skullclamp, Mavren Fein and Mirror entity. Maybe Obelisk of Urd ? Edgar doesn't need a ton of mana acceleration if your creatures are all small.

And tutors for clamp such as Stoneforge Mystic , Steelshaper's Gift , Open the Armory , Enlightened Tutor , Demonic Tutor , Diabolic Intent , Vampiric Tutor , and a new personal favorite in Tainted Pact all help a lot. The only real mana ramp I run is Phyrexian tower, Ancient Tomb and Dark Ritual.

One last idea would be to toss in Demon of Death's Gate and Westvale Abbey  Flip. The demon can be effortlessly played as early as turn 2.
