So as a disclaimer, I'll be using my experiences with my deck, March of the Dusk Legion, as a point of reference for my recommendations.

So one thing I noticed is that your list is a bit unfocused in terms of strategy. What do you want to accomplish with your deck? Is it a token deck? +1/+1 counters? Aristocrats? You have cards that support all of these strategies but not enough of any one to reach critical mass.

Start with the mana-base changes and decide what you want the deck to accomplish and we can go from there!

LordBlackblade - Good point. I was wondering if there's a way that i can incorporate cards for a token and +1/+1 type of deck?

LordBlackblade - Checked out the deck that is in the comment and i think that is the type of deck that i want. putting out many vampires as possible then making them fat.

borjaambroce - It is most assuredly possible! With that focus in mind, I would cut all of the aristocrats cards you're currently running that wouldn't advance your new plan!

There are also a fair number of cards in your list that I have personally tried that have under-performed.

Finally, there are a handful of cards that don't fall into either previous category that I think warrant discussion.

I saw your deck earlier and I saw you'd obviously either already seen my deck or my posts for other peoples decks so I didn't post here. You asked for help though, so here I be. Only a few changes that I'd immediately make.

Talisman of Indulgence and Fellwar Stone are both good rocks here.

Austere Command is a flexible modular boardwipe.

Necropotence and/or Dark Prophecy for more card draw. You have lifegain to offset the life loss, but Sorin, Solemn Visitor if you feel you need more.

LordBlackblade - Thanks man! I really do appreciate your insight on this deck.

What would be the best alternative card for Cruel Celebrant , Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Dictate of Erebos .

In regards with the under performer creatures, What creature should i replace them with?

I've realized that as well that Panharmonicon is quite meaningless in this deck, i just don't know any better cards to replace this.

My MTG card expertise is really that great since i just recently played MTG again after more than 5 years. :) :)

Once again i really do appreciate your insight on this.

No problem! I'm glad to help. Edgar Markov is one of my favorite commanders!

Just a short list of cards that I find really do work in my list. Even better they are all three mana or less!

Last_Laugh - I actually check your deck a lot of times since this is one of the deck that comes out when i try to search for an Edgar Markov deck.

The thing that caught my eye when reading this deck was on how you take advantage of Reconnaissance .

Thank you for those suggested card and i'll make sure to take a noted of all of this.

To be honest i am gathering all the information that i can on making my Edgar Markov deck quite formindable.

There's a lot of control deck in my playgroup but i was able to win one time (and maybe the only strategy that would works against them) by putting out vampires and making them fat. :)

LordBlackblade - Dude! followed your advice on changing the land that comes into play tapped and change it with the suggested cards above and i can see the effect immediately. and also changed some of the "comes into play tapped" land with basic land and it is great. :)

trying to find a luxury suite to replace some of them.

Ok, I'm back on request. The main thing that needs a little work is lowering your avg cmc and a bit more card draw is needed imo.

Suggested Cuts:

Anowan, Both Sorins, Eerie Interlude, Hour of Devastation, Commander's Sphere, Orzhov Cluestone, Diabolic Tutor, Blood Tracker, and Vanquishers Banner.

Adds: Cordial Vampire , Dark Prophecy , Orzhov Signet / Fellwar Stone (or Talismans), Diabolic Intent , Sorin, Solemn Visitor , Austere Command , Dusk Legion Zealot , Skullclamp , and Shared Animosity .

That'll take away 16 mana or about .23 off your avg. cmc (rough educated guess).
