NuMetal on Vampire Commander Deck

Stuff I'd cut:
Duskborne Skymarcher - not enough impact
Erdwal Ripper - bad
Falkenrath Exterminator bad
Furyblade Vampire good for madness but not for this deck
Havengul Vampire not good enough
Kheru Bloodsucker bad
Licia, Sanguine Tribune only good as commander in a deck built around him. Here it's just bad for 8 mana
Nirkana Revenant not bad but not really that useful either since only about a thrid of your lands are swamps anyways
Voracious Vampire bad

Stuff I'd definitely add:
Anowon, the Ruin Sage
Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip
Bloodlord of Vaasgoth
Bloodthrone Vampire
Legion Lieutenant
Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle
Rakish Heir
Stromkirk Captain
Bloodflow Connoisseur
Butcher of Malakir
Shadow Alley Denizen
Twilight Prophet
Austere Command

Stuff I'd consider adding:

Kalastria Highborn
Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
Legion's Landing  ^Flip

Olivia, Mobilized for War
Patron of the Vein

Hey TheErebos!

Alright so cards off the top of my head to definitely keep for the vampires.

• Adaptive Automaton
• Blood Artist
• Bloodcrazed Paladin
• Bloodghast
• Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip
• Captivating Vampire
• Drana, Liberator of Malakir
• Drana's Emissary
• Forerunner of the Legion
• Indulgent Aristocrat
• Kheru Mind-Eater
• Legion Lieutenant
• Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle
• Metallic Mimic
• Mirror Entity
• Pulse Tracker
• Rakish Heir
• Sadistic Hypnotist
• Sanctum Seeker
• Stromkirk Captain
• Stromkirk Occultist
• Twilight Prophet
• Vampire Hexmage
• Vicious Conquistador
• Viscera Seer
• Yahenni, Undying Partisan

Now moving on to the card types, for anthem/doubling/synergy token effects:

• Anointed Procession
• Cathars' Crusade
• Coat of Arms
• Door of Destinies
• Herald's Horn
• Legion's Landing  ^Flip
• Obelisk of Urd
• Radiant Destiny
• Shared Animosity
• Stensia Masquerade
• The Immortal Sun
• Urza's Incubator
• Vanquisher's Banner

Now going for the interaction suite:

• Anguished Unmaking
• Boros Charm
• Crackling Doom
• Faith's Reward
• Fire Covenant
• Path to Exile
• Swords to Plowshares
• Teferi's Protection
• Vandalblast
• Zealous Persecution

Now for card draw engines:

• Dark Confidant
• Erebos, God of the Dead
• Grim Haruspex
• Mentor of the Meek
• Mind's Eye
• Phyrexian Arena
• Skullclamp
• Slate of Ancestry
• Smothering Abomination
• Underworld Connections
• Vampiric Rites

No good deck is left without tutors as well:

• Demonic Tutor
• Enlightened Tutor
• Gamble
• Vampiric Tutor

So far those cards are to be considered, sort through the cards and we can refine them to a playable deck list. Add in 36 lands to start, I feel that eventually we can cut it down to 34-35 since Markov will run a low curve. The basic lands should be good along with the basic multicolor mana base like Command Tower, Reflecting Pool, Mana Confluence, Exotic Orchard, City of Brass, the shock lands (Godless Shrine, Blood Crypt, Sacred Foundry), and also the painlands for now (Battlefield Forge, Caves of Koilos, Sulfurous Springs).

Let me know when you update it!

Coding on Vamps on Vamps on Vamps

Nice deck but most have just an effect on themself. I would choose True Conviction over Mark of the Vampire And you might like Sanctum Seeker, Shared Animosity, Stensia Masquerade, Rakish Heir, Patron of the Vein, Necropolis Regent, Indulgent Aristocrat, Blade of the Bloodchief, Vein Drinker Argentum Armor is way too expensive and draws too much attention in my opinion.

Apollo_Paladin on Tibalt Madness

Some other suggestions:

MAIN DECK:

• Stensia Masquerade (since I see a couple vampires in there, possibly room to add more if you like the effect)
• Call to the Netherworld (awesome in a Madness deck)

• Falkenrath Gorger (again, along the same Vampire line as Masquerade above)

• Asylum Visitor (add some card draw potentially)

IF YOU RUN IT IN LEGACY INSTEAD OF MODERN:

• Putrid Imp (I'm in love with this card, even in decks other than Madness; unlimited manaless discard ability is seriously OP; with this in play you can just pay Madness costs on every spell - adding him would significantly change the value of quite a few cards should you concentrate on only paying Madness costs for no additional cost to discard.)

SIDEBOARD:

• Strength of Lunacy (again, not in Modern)

KayneMarco on Edgar Markov Commander Deck

First off. Welcome back to the world of cardboard crack. My lengthy break was only a couple yrs longer than yours. I got back into the game because of edh and c17 had just been released and the first cards I bought was the markov deck. Still have together, just heavily modified. Just wanted to offer a few possible additions. One creature, Olivia Voldaren, and 2 enchantments, Campaign of Vengeance and Stensia Masquerade. All 3 would add more function and flavor to this deck.

landofMordor on Brewing Modern on a Budget: Blood of Madness

Hey friend, I've got a deck almost exactly like this. I'd recommend Alms of the Vein for a Lava Spike effect. I'd cut the Pale Rider of Trostad, Skin Invasion  ^Flip, and Bloodmad Vampire in exchange for 3 Alms and 2-3 Falkenrath Gorger. Furyblade Vampire is also insane with Stensia Masquerade, so I'd cut 1-2 Lightning Axe and some Inquisitions. Also, Dark Withering is so good.

Love this deck SO MUCH! It is so synergistic and feels so good to profit off of discards like this. Best of luck!

Heliogabale on Edgar, Dead and Loving It

Thank you for inviting me to comment!

Is this deck to be played mostly in duels, or is your playgroup focused on fast decks? You have a lot of rocks, and many smaller vampires that don't really add much value to the deck, which lead me to think you are aiming for speed. If that is not the case, I would lose a few rocks to include more vampires.

Either way, there is no reason not to have Falkenrath Aristocrat in there, it is one of the best cards for the cost and the tokens make it really powerful.

I would lose the one-use draw cards (Ambition's Cost, Ancient Craving, Read the Bones), you should draw enough with the other engines you have. If not, I would throw Necropotence in there.

The number of times you had to tell people commenting here that you don't run a lot of red should be a clue that you indeed need more. Some cards that allow you to make a powerful tribal strike, like Shared Animosity, kindred charge and Stensia Masquerade could be cornerstones to this deck.

Hope some of that is helpful. Please do look up my deck The Partnership and let me know how you like my version!
