Commander Deck Help forum

Since seeing the vampire deck I've fallen in love with mardu in commander. I just really like the way each legendary works as a commander. Edgar markov can make a mean Aggro or aristocratic deck, licia screams sunforger voltron, and mathas seems like he will play a pretty smooth political game. I've been hesitant to play mardu in edh before because I really wasn't a fan of zurgo, and as good as marchesa is, i just didn't find her too tasteful. Then, Alesha aside the rest of mardu commanders aren't that great in my opinion.
Now I'm looking at potentially making a deck for each of these vampires, though Not all as vampire tribal.
What are some mardu staples for EDH that I will likely want to put in my decks?

If you scroll down past the commanders it lists the "staples." Numbers and percentages are based on decklists made by people posting lists on here and other sites. Take these numbers with grain of salt, as they can be people just brewing stuff. However it can give you some ideas of the cards people are playing and/or looking at in the right colors.

Crackling Doom, Anguished Unmaking/Utter End/Vindicate, Swords to Plowshares/Path to Exile, Merciless Eviction, I'm a fan of Boros Charm personally, Terminate/Dreadbore. Of course you'll want to add the various guild signets that make up Mardu colors. Basically I see Mardu as Black filling in all of the major flaws of a Boros deck. Card draw, great removal, and a fair amount of flexibility in strategy. I'm a big fan of Queen Marchesa and while I don't know if she's staple level status as part of the 99 in Mardu decks, she'll definitely fit in your Mathas deck.
