Rules Q&A

Martyr of Dusk

Creature — Vampire Soldier

When Martyr of Dusk dies, create a 1/1 white Vampire creature token with lifelink.

Looking better, more trimmed. If you want to pursue the tokens method you could use more cards that create tokens, such as Edgar, Charmed Groom  Flip, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Legion's Landing  Flip, Martyr of Dusk, Mavren Fein, Dusk Apostle and Queen's Commission. You will need creatures to support you earlier in the game, and Vampire of the Dire Moon, Gifted Aetherborn, Legion Lieutenant, Cordial Vampire and Indulgent Aristocrat are looking good for that role.

Keep upgrading!

Could use a few "insurance" cards in the event of a boardwipe and a few more 1-drops imo. Like Vampire Cutthroat, Shadow Alley Denizen and Changeling Outcast. Other highly recommended vamps are Gifted Aetherborn, Falkenrath Aristocrat, and personal favorite Mirror Entity, and ideal Skullclamp targets, Martyr of Dusk, Carrier Thrall and Dusk Legion Zealot.

All-in-all though I think you're absolutely on the right track for an aggressive Edgar build. This earns my seal of approval, but you can absolutely improve it further.

oh, as a followup comment: I'd strongly consider Martyr of Dusk and Carrier Thrall . Both make another token when they die and make ideal Skullclamp sacrifices.

Bloodcrazed Paladin too as an insurance policy in the event of a boardwipe.

I'm tempted to upvote this just because you actually have a good creature count for Edgar. I'm so tired of seeing decks with only like 30 vamps and most of them being upwards of 4 mana.

That said, I think you're a little bit heavy on artifacts/enchantments. Some like tremors are good, some like Shared Animosity are vital, but in terms on non-creature permanents, the only artifact you NEED is skullclamp. You have more than ample sacrifices thanks to Edgar to reload your hand.

I'm a huge fan of stuff like Carrier Thrall , Martyr of Dusk and Dusk Legion Zealot for clamp targets that give extra value. And my big 4 of Edgar decks are Shared Animosity, Skullclamp, Mavren Fein and Mirror entity. Maybe Obelisk of Urd ? Edgar doesn't need a ton of mana acceleration if your creatures are all small.

And tutors for clamp such as Stoneforge Mystic , Steelshaper's Gift , Open the Armory , Enlightened Tutor , Demonic Tutor , Diabolic Intent , Vampiric Tutor , and a new personal favorite in Tainted Pact all help a lot. The only real mana ramp I run is Phyrexian tower, Ancient Tomb and Dark Ritual.

One last idea would be to toss in Demon of Death's Gate and Westvale Abbey  Flip. The demon can be effortlessly played as early as turn 2.

Oh, another thing: 3 creatures I cannot recommend enough are Martyr of Dusk , Carrier Thrall and Dusk Legion Zealot . Excellent value for Skullclamp sacrifices. You're functionally getting 3 creatures in one.

Kitnz on Thalisse, The Pauper Medium

I like the focus on death and leaving the battlefield triggers to give you more triggers on opponents turns, and allowing you build-up until getting Thalisse out. A couple recommendations for more instant-speed token creation: Vile Rebirth , Eyes in the Skies (if you end up with more larger tokens like zombies), and Raise the Alarm .

Some other potential includes: Maalfeld Twins , Grixis Slavedriver , Martyr of Dusk

Is Rend Flesh in there for flavor? Cause there's better situational removal like Cast Down .
