Sanguine Sovereignty: Dominating the Night with Edgar Markov - A Vampire EDH Deck Analysis

Welcome to the realm of eternal night and unyielding darkness, where the thirst for blood and power intertwines. In this journey, we'll delve into the intricate depths of an Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH) deck named "Sanguine Sovereignty," led by the bloodthirsty commander, Edgar Markov. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of vampire synergy, diabolical combos, and a reign of crimson glory.

Deck Overview: Commander: Edgar Markov

"Sanguine Sovereignty" brings together a legion of vampires, united by the undying loyalty to their leader, Edgar Markov. This deck is a masterclass in exploiting tribal synergy, powerful combo interactions, and the raw might of the vampire race. We'll dive into the core synergies and impactful combos that form the beating heart of this deck, as it seeks to conquer the battlefield and establish a vampiric dominion.

Exploiting Tribal Synergy: Vampires thrive on their shared heritage, and Edgar Markov knows how to leverage this to its fullest extent. Cards like Metallic Mimic, Adaptive Automaton, and Cordial Vampire bolster your vampire legions, making them larger and deadlier with every recruit. The mark of an adept vampire commander lies in their ability to strengthen the tribe as a whole, and Edgar Markov excels in this pursuit.

The Ancestral Command: Cathars' Crusade is a linchpin of the vampire synergy in this deck. As vampires enter the battlefield under your control, their strength grows exponentially, with +1/+1 counters cascading across your entire army. Whether you're summoning a single vampire or assembling an army, Cathars' Crusade ensures that your forces grow into an unstoppable tide of crimson might.

Diabolical Combos: 1. Adaptive Automaton + Metallic Mimic + Cordial Vampire: This trifecta of vampire lords transforms your creatures into unstoppable forces, with each reinforcement making the next even more formidable. Cordial Vampire even rewards you for sacrificing your own creatures.

1. Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir: This intricate combo allows you to manipulate the top of your library, gain life through casting spells with Citadel, and eventually utilize Aetherflux Reservoir to send a deadly laser barrage at your opponents.

2. Sanguine Sovereignty: Sanctum Seeker + Edgar Markov + Vampire Nocturnus: This trinity combines powerful creatures, life-draining triggers, and the potential for massive power buffs from Vampire Nocturnus's top-deck manipulation.

3. Infinite Bounce and Lifegain: Cloudstone Curio + Two Low-CMC Vampires: With Cloudstone Curio in play, bouncing low-CMC vampires like Dusk Legion Zealot and Cordial Vampire creates a useful loop of creatures entering the battlefield. This generates infinite lifegain, card draw, and triggers for your other vampires.

Seizing Control: Reconnaissance grants your attacking vampires an elegant maneuverability. By untapping them after they've dealt damage, you can avoid blockers and ensure your forces survive to strike another day. This tactical advantage can tip the scales of battle in your favor.

The Crimson Path to Victory: "Sanguine Sovereignty" stands as a testament to the power of unity and tribal strength. With Edgar Markov at the helm, the vampires under your command will march with unwavering loyalty, fueled by synergies and emboldened by diabolical combos. Embrace the night, seize the throne, and establish your "Sanguine Sovereignty" as the unassailable force that dominates the realm of EDH.

Other Notes and Combos Show

Thanks to Edgar Markov summoning tokens whenever a Vampire is cast, we can easily swarm the field and overpower our opponents drastically.

Try to tutor Necropotence as soon as possible. The more card advantage you have while playing this deck, the more Vampires you have to cast and wreak havoc across the battlefield.

Most of the cards in this deck are cheap to cast so make full use of Bolas's Citadel as soon possible.

Use Cloudstone Curio to bounce cheap Vampires back to your hand to recast and summon even more Vampire Tokens. When you have a big enough army Shared Animosity will help power your Vampires together and devastate your foes.

Use Hall of Heliod's Generosity to reclaim the enchantments your opponents are sure to try and destroy.

Mirror Entity helps power up all your weak creatures into monstrosities.

Use Captivating Vampire to steal your opponent's best creatures and turn them into Vampires alongside your own.

Boros Charm and Teferi's Protection to keep your Vampire army alive.
