Removed : Icon of Ancestry This card was always a nice addition to the deck, a lord effect with the ability to check the top card of my deck is nice an all but it fails to be an extra vampire creature. In a deck where I want to be casting vampires and getting triggers of Edgar, an actual vampire creature with a lord effect is much better, just like-
Added: Edgar, Charmed Groom Flip It's a second Edgar!! How sweet is that!? this Edgar has a lord effect with the added durability of transforming on death and in three turns transforming back into Edgar again. I cannot wait to test him out and enjoy the value!
Removed: Pitiless Pontiff A two mana Aristocrat is also really good, but I have been eyeing some newer cards out of Crimson Vow that I have been wanting to try out like-
Added: Anje, Maid of Dishonor at four mana she just barely stays in curve, but the effect on her is really good and will hopefully help filter out lands from my hand and draw more vampires.
Removed: Knight of the Ebon Legion honestly, been wanting an excuse to get rid of this card, currently moved it to my Elendra deck as a cheap vampire. this was always just a Foil vampire with some nice effects.
Added: Arcane Signet Since I found out there was a foil alt-art of this card I have been wanting to make room for one. We shall see how it works out.

Nice deck overall but there's 2 types of cards that're underrepresented here... finishers and board protection.
Board Protection: Teferi's Protection, Boros Charm, Flawless Maneuver, Rootborn Defenses, Unbreakable Formation, and Scapegoat (doubles as a finisher with Purphoros out) are all excellent options here depending on your budget. This deck folds like a wet paper towel if you eat a boardwipe and end up in topdeck mode.
Finishers: Shared Animosity and Reconnaissance. Reconnaissance allows you to attack with EVERY creature safely, deal combat damage in most situations, and have every one of those creatures untapped and ready to block/deter attacks by the end of combat. Creatures are considered 'attacking' until the end of combat step ends (you untap during this step as priority passes around the table)
Feel free to check out my list for ideas and a better explanation for Reconnaissance. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Edgar's Dega Vampires

Surprisingly it doesn't fold at all after a board wipe. I'm consistently the first to build back after one like nothing happened
I do need a shared animosity though

Looking at the boardwipes, i would recommend some one sided Harsh Mercy, Kindred Dominance and a new one Olivia's Wrath. It's like wincon after one of these.
