SefTheReject on Aether Vial Vamp Sac (suggestions wanted)

Cordial Vampire over carrier or LL because it will act like a lord, specially if you tweak the sac engine. Blood artist is a great pick, as is indulgent. I personally don’t indulgent in my build, but know it’s used in other builds. Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is great when combo’d with Bloodghast & Silversmote Ghoul.

Coat of Arms is very fun when you have a large army, but I would also recommend Door of Destinies and Herald's Horn.

As far as vampires, Cordial Vampire, Necropolis Regent, and Forerunner of the Legion are cheap. I'm also a massive fan of Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip and Twilight Prophet if you think they're worth the money.

Captivating Vampire is a better lord over thirsting bloodlord. Yes it’s weaker, but has the bonus ability of swiping an opponents creature. Sorin needs a good sac engine like Bloodghast, Silversmote Ghoul or Viscera Seer and when combined with Cordial Vampire the team buffs up FAST. Depending on your budget I’d add some fetchlands Polluted Delta, Verdant Catacombs, Marsh Flats or Prismatic Vista to thin out your deck. Also at least 2 Cavern of Souls is highly recommend (again budget permitting) to get around counterspells. Castle Locthwain is also highly recommend.

I've had success with Low mana deathtouch/lifelink using Cordial Vampire+Indulgent Aristocrat.

Legion Lieutenant is most of the reason to be in white/black - vamps get good keywords, add in some P/T and you can run away with the game.

If you're trying for sorins, I'd look at proliferate options - finding space for a Karn's Bastion in the lands, Throne of Geth + blood tokens, or Tezzeret's Gambit can do a lot, making your entire board big and turning sorin's -2s into -1.

Also, yes fixing is great, its usually worth having one or two basics for the inevitble Path to Exile type effects.

Definitely need a playset of Cordial Vampire he’s a BOMB. Depending on your budget I’d also suggest at least 2 Cavern of Souls, 2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, 3-4 Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, a playset of fetches to thin out your deck like Prismatic Vista since you’re mono colored. A sac engine works EXTREMELY well with cordial and sorin, things like Viscera Seer & Silversmote Ghoul are great with cordial & sorin. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose works nice in a drain and gain build and nykthos gives you A LOT of mana with all the devotion.

My deck:

It's Good to Be King

I am designing a more mid-range aristocrats approach to Edgar Markov with a focus on generating a ton of +1/+1 counters via cards like Cordial Vampire and Cathars' Crusade.

With this in mind I have taken the liberty of organizing my deck in logical groups. Are there any cards you would recommend adding or removing?

Thank you very much for your help!

Couldn’t agree more, Cordial Vampire is sneaky good and a BOMB in a sac heavy build to buff the rest of your fang gang. Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord is a killer card for any vampire build.
