Vessiliana you know, I feel like I'm experiencing a bit of New Toy syndrome. I feel as though the right number of creatures for my playstyle is about 40-42 vampires. The focus needs to be on getting value out of Edgar's Eminence ability. Vamps go wide. It's what they do.

Bloodletter of Aclazotz, Master of Dark Rites and that new Orzhov Bloodthrone-like thing I can't pronounce all look like vampires that I should be running. And Phyrexian Altar feels like the one other support card I honestly think absolutely does warrant a slot here. Maybe Black Market Connections but I'm in a spot where there's 4 cards that belong here but nothing in my 99 feels replaceable. You said my deck looks good as-is, but man, there's stuff I wanna try out.

Weird side note: I'm starting to like Chrome Mox over Mox Diamond.

Vessiliana who/what would you cut for Master of Dark Rites? We finally get another good black utility 1-drop vamp. I wanna try her out.

As good as Dusk Legion Duelist is, I feel like Charismatic Conqueror is the better white vigilance 2/2. Been testing him and the look on people's faces when they play a creature or a rock is priceless. Especially if I have Procession and/or Purphoros in play.

Vessiliana try out Clavileno, First of the Blessed. Remarkably cheap card that is outright busted in Edgar EDH. Charismatic Conqueror, Bloodletter of Aclazotz and Master of Dark Rites are also eye-catching.

Lost Caverns of Ixalan new cards:

Master of Dark Rites - 1CMC mana producer is a perfect fit for Markov and perfect T1 drop

Order of Sacred Dusk - interesting option to change quantity into quality. Relevant if low on life or when ground forces face other token strategies or are not pumped enough to win combat

Charismatic Conqueror - it's like Blind Obedience on legs but I'm sure there will be times opponent chooses to give us more vampires instead of tapping. Tokens are {W} though which does not please Ascendant Evincar

Bloodletter of Aclazotz - damage doubler is always nice if one can afford its high starting price

Queen's Bay Paladin - repeated Vampire reanimation can be relevant (Malakir Bloodwitch,Dominating Vampire) especialy with sac outlet but 5CMC can be too much for such a fast deck

Tarrian's Journal  ^Flip - repeatable draw effect is always nice especially when it can turn into double use of our dead Vampires. Mana is also nice.

Bartolome del Presidio - free sac outlet that pumps itself looks good although it doesn't help other vampires except for occassional combos (see Queen's Bay Paladin)
