True Conviction gets played in roughly 2/3 of the games i play, if not, more. It's quite a fun card to use with this deck providing i can build my token army. I normally use Forerunner of the Legion to get Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip out quicker, if i then also get Anointed Procession onto the field it makes for quite a dangerous combination, given the fact i also have cards like Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle which works well with Martyr of Dusk . My usual goal is to get 20 vamps total on the field with Sanctum Seeker then simply launch 1 all out attack and that's game, set and match.

So I want to start by saying everything in my previous comment still stands, so I won't go over anything I already discussed there. That said, let's take a look at what you've changed.

The Good Show

These are good changes. Some of these are cards I myself use or would recommend for any Edgar Markov deck.

• Forerunner of the Legion
• Legion Lieutenant
• Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle
• Skymarcher Aspirant
• Anguished Unmaking
• Boros Charm
• Mortify
• Path to Exile
• Swords to Plowshares
• Cover of Darkness
• Etchings of the Chosen
• Legion's Landing  ^Flip
• Vindicate

The Okay Show

This card is just alright. It is a 1/1 flyer for one, but the ability isn't super relevant. I've toyed with the idea of running it myself, but just find too many superior cards to run over it that it gets bumped out of the list.

• Duskborne Skymarcher

The Bad Show

In my opinion, these cards don't really belong in the deck. They lose you too much tempoe (in the case of the lands) and the two creatures don't really fit your deck's plan.

• Drana's Emissary
• Martyr of Dusk
• Looming Spires
• Mortuary Mire

ephraimctr on Bloodlord Aristocrats

Unfortunately I am restricted by a budget. I use all of my “good” RB lands for my Hellbent on Reanimation legacy deck since it’s the one I play most often. So I am stuck with Cinder Barrens .

I really want to get some Priest of the Forgotten Gods for the deck. I’ve considered Judith, the Scourge Diva and Cruel Celebrant but initially dismissed the life drain effect since I like be more aggressive with cards like Falkenrath Aristocrat . I’ll definitely look into getting a few copies of them both.

I thought about using Fatal Push , but for my playgroup meta Tragic Slip is going to more effective against my groups Dino and indestructible focused decks. Spark Harvest replaced Bone Splinters since my playgroup uses a lot of planeswalkers. Dreadbore could be good so I’ll keep an eye out for those as well. My main goal is to get two more copies of Falkenrath Aristocrat and focus on sacrificing the humans like Doomed Traveler and Hunted Witness . Seraph of the Scales is awesome, but is also out of my budget. I like having Martyr of Dusk just in case my opponent has a way around Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet ’s zombie engine and it’s saved me a few times. Same with Shamble Back but I am looking for a better alternative since I don’t always have a creature ready to exile for it.

Thank you for the recommendations!

Personally I would consider using 2 or 3 copies of Judith, the Scourge Diva and a playset of Priest of Forgotten Gods . If the budget is not an issue a playset of Bloodghast would work splendid in this deck, though you would need to rework your mana base with some fetches and shocklands.E.g Blood Crypt , Bloodstained Mire , Sacred Foundry and Arid Mesa . Perhaps 3 Seraph of the Scales instead of Hunted Witness and more copies of Cartel Aristocrat as your sac outlets. I would remove Shamble Back and Spark Harvest completely. I would use 3 Fatal Push and 2 Dreadbore instead as a removal package. In place of Utter End and Raise the Alarm I would use playset of Cruel Celebrant or Blood Artist as the main drain engine of the deck. I would also run Tithe Taker in place of Martyr of Dusk . As for the sideboard 2 copies of Grafdigger's Cage for graveyard hate, 2 copies Vandalblast for artifact hate, Bedevil and an extra copy of Anguished Unmaking

Divine-Asura on Shadow dies twice

KibaAlpha Thanks, i took a look and there are some cards that i find interesting, mainly as sac material because i think i neeed some more and also better ones. I might change Dutiful Attendant for Orzhov Enforcer and Black Cat for Martyr of Dusk . It also makes me consider even more changing Shadows of the Past for Falkenrath Noble since i was considering that already.

000NULL on Token Aristocrats

Okay, so the idea here is that you sacrifice creatures with afterlife for damage ala Aristocrat, but somewhat themed. Standard sacrifice victims,
Hunted Witness Martyr of Dusk Cruel Celebrant

two of these drop tokens on death, and one does damage. We can also add in Seraph of the Scales for a total of three creatures to sacrifice.

The Standard Executioners used to de-board, Pitiless Pontiff Priest of Forgotten Gods

Lets add in some additional Token Creation, Teysa Karlov Finale of Glory Liliana, Dreadhorde General Legion's Landing  ^Flip

Then lets turn that Token power into magic-magic with Divine Visitation Bolas's Citadel

Then Recharge with Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord
