The Commander 2017 Edgar Markov deck with my own additions. This version is based around maximising the advantages you get from the tokens Edgar creates when you cast a vampire.

My personal favourite combo is:

  • Anointed Procession - double your vampire tokens

  • Purphoros, God of the Forge - every time you cast a vampire and get a token (or tokens) your opponents lose life for it

  • Sorin, Grim Nemesis - if you can ultimate him, Anointed Procession will create twice as many tokens as your toughest opponent has life points and then all opponents will lose 2 life from Purphoros for each of these tokens. Everyone dies... Instant win.

Also worth noting is using Anointed Procession to ramp up your tokens then sac five to Westvale Abbey   to get Ormendahl, Profane Prince. If you have Black Market and Butcher of Malakir in play at the same time you can gain a load of mana and remove all opponents creatures at the same time.

There's the traditional vampire combo of Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood which will kill everyone on the table instantly but you either need one of them to attack you, or swing at them with a 1/1 lifelink token, or take a hit from Phyrexian Arena to trigger it, by which time someone will probably have wiped them out with Enchantment removal.

Another good partnership is Vona, Butcher of Magan and Ormendahl. You can use Vona's ability earlier in the game once or twice as you'll be gaining life off lands and your white vampire tokens but once you've got Ormendahl online, Vona becomes enchantment/artifact/creature removal every turn while you gain the life back from attacking with Ormendahl. If you have Sanguine Bond in play as well you can effectively hit the same player for up to 18 damage off of Ormendahl.
