I decided I wanted to try to focus on the life gain theme for Edgar Markov. I'm aware this is not the strongest path, but I want to try to make it work.

Suggestions are very much appreciated!

I am unsure whether I want to add Exquisite Blood or not, because while it is very good, the instant win with sanguine bond feels a little lame.
