This is a heavily edited version of the Edgar Markov precon that can go extremely aggro while also pulling off a few nasty combos (like Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond ). There's enough incidental life gain and suppression via Authority of the Consuls and Blind Obedience to keep afloat long enough to get the mana to the point where I can really wreck things once my legendaries show up. I'm just wondering if I could make it even better-I recently swapped out a Worn Powerstone for Chromatic Lantern because I think color access is slightly more of a priority than ramp.

This deck also takes a few basic elements of an Aristocrats deck between Siege Outpost, Yahenni, Undying Partisan and Edgar Markov's eminence trigger. The few non-vampire creatures in the deck fill support roles, giving keywords to the creature bolstered by Edgar's first swing or expediting aggro like Ogre Battledriver.

If I encounter more vampire legends, I will likely be finding ways to slip them in.

Card draw seems to be an issue and this deck has had problems stalling out on mana in the past, likely because real estate is always a pricy matter in any Magic format other than Pauper.
