Commander (EDH) forum

I wanna try my hand on a vampire tribal but I don’t wanna build Edgar Markov it's been done to death and my pod hates him.
I was looking maybe or . I tried with Strefan, Maurer Progenitor but the deck felt slow and too dependent on Strefan to cheat expensive creature out.
If someone has a commander suggestions or significant update to make Strefan faster and more reliable I'd be grateful.
Cioa.
I'm really looking for vamp tribal and not a voltron or soul sister build.
But thanks for the strionic tip that helped.

There are literally over 60 legendary vampires. Maybe take a look at them and see which one you like?

seshiro_of_the_orochi I know there's a lot of legendary option I was more looking for feedback on them rather than link to show me what I already knew.

Evelyn, the Covetous is a pretty good tribal commander. She disrupts game plans unintentionally by taking key cards off opponents' decks, provides card advantage, and access to strategies not in the deck. Also gives you access to either go wide with tokens or utilize recursion for extra etbs.

I think with Strefan, Maurer Progenitor you need a lot of effects like Blood Artist and Bastion of Remembrance paired with some token generators and kill spells so early game you're just draining your opponents a bit and making blood tokens. Later on you can start swinging and dropping big bodies, maybe with Lithoform Engine and Strionic Resonator to double the triggers.
In a slightly different vein you could look at a soul sisters token build with Elenda, the Dusk Rose. Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles your tokens, things like Soul Warden gain you lots of life, if you run tribal effects throw in a copy of Conspiracy so everything's a vamp anyways, and white has a lots of anthems to help boost your boardstate.
On a completly different end of the spectrum is Rayami, First of the Fallen You get black for the good vamps, green for ramp and blue for control, plus plenty of kill spells can suddenly turn your commander into a voltron beatstick.
