I've talked about this deck a few times and here it is! Nothing too crazy as I haven't put forth a ton of effort to foil it out or anything but there are some bangers in here. Enjoy!

I found my Edgar Precon sitting next to the last Ur Dragon deck at a LGS. Only grabbed Edgar, regret not grabbing both..
Look on the bright side, at least you got Edgar at a good price!
I thought you meant like someones personal deck, and was like, yes good job for not steeling. ^-^ I understand now.
Edgar was my first EDH commander. I'm liking these upgrade ideas to give it new life. :D
Glad I could help!
Finally, another person that loves foil basic lands as much as me
right?!?! I have about 20 foil lands from Mercadian Masques, found them at super unpopular LGS in Vancouver, they had a binder full of old cards, so I just bought all the foil lands they had! They really don't make foils like they used to.
If your basics aren't foil, do you even play lol?!
@@matthewcartermusic Agreed!
@@matthewcartermusic damn i'm jealous of you. The ones I see on ebay was in bad conditions :(
Really love edgar markov super fun and agressive. My first expensive commander deck but 100% worth it,one card i would like to mention is rise of the dark realms can win you the game or even a purphoros pinging your friends to death
Those would definitely be good adds. Thanks for the tips!
Cloudstone Curio is such a great idea! Having 2 single black mana vampires will push you out hell of an army with that one on the board. Added on my shopping list :D
Grandpa Edgar is my favorite deck that I'm slowly foiling over the years. I recomend considering a 4-mana Kalitas and a bojuka bog against all the graveyard shennanigans your opponents might pull. Also a blasphemous act is an amazing boardwipe that can even deal with Animar (which is a real pain for any black heavy deck).
Great suggestions! I love that you call it Grandpa Edgar lol
I bought 2 of the Edgar Markov precons when they were first released. I love playing vampire tribal before Edgar came out. But as soon as I saw the deck list I had to have them, 1 to keep based and the other to make as good as possible. I even bought the playmat that came out for the commander 2017 release. And then Ixalan came out and made it even more degenerate and I have been extremely happy ever since.
The Vampires from the Ixalan set were a special kind of spicy haha :D
Do you have a list?
Love seeing tricked out decks people are excited about. Easy sub for more content like this!
Thanks for watching! Gotta love the bling :)
Edgar is probably my favorite deck that I've never built. It doesn't look like you're running a lot of the 1 cost vampires that the deck is pretty famous for nowadays
There are a lot of 1/1 and other low cost vamps I'd like to do a second build with where everything is CMC 3 or less except for Edgar. Always fun to add challenges into the mix!
@@CRGGames yeah most of the Edgar decks I see now have very few creatures that cost more than 1-2. Seems like most people have zoned in on abusing the eminence trigger
Ty for the video! It was nice to see another take on a Markov build.
Glad you liked it!
4$ deckbox for a 1500$ deck bro lol
Only the best for Edgar!
That's what I would do
This is a beautiful looking deck..Gushing with jealousy and awe!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
If you want to up the saltiness of the deck, grave pact or dictate or erebos would be a good addition. Can trigger it off sacing tokens, or you can be a little extra aggressive in combat and force opponets to choose between combat damage or losing a creature to trade for one of yours.
I had Dictate in there early on and the salt was real lol. Just like an Altar of the Brood on turn one is always a big downer to the people sitting across from you lol
A $1500 pimped-out deck... [Jealously sighs in Old School 93-94]
I do prefer older cards though!
I recently bought Edgar myself about to finish up that commander. Thought I'd hop in and see what's in yours.
Hopefully you found some helpful cards to add! There are more great suggestions in the comments!
I see $1600 deck. And I immediately think the lands are probably half the price 😂 lands are nutty.
Every great deck starts with an even better land base :) One of these days I'd like to get duals but I'm not there yet. Glad you enjoyed!
Very similar to my Markov deck. Look like you opted for more offensive tactics where I opted for more aristocratic/life drain tactics (Purphoros, Warleader's Call, Teysa, couple more sacrifice outlets, etc). Not as many special editions/foils though so mine runs about $1k.
If you haven't already, Cover of Darkness would be a phenomenal addition.
You might also want to check out City on Fire (covoke is fantastic for that card)
Father of eminence 🧛🏻 🔥
I'm really glad I got the precon for free when it was released. Just added some tutors and an arid messa to it yesterday. Definitely do have to cut some vamps that I really don't need. I got really lucky too getting some awesome land cards out of my own zendikar rising collectors box. Also there's something about the triomes that I just don't like so I don't run them at all. I have a lot of them though. Might change my mind on it.
Ikoria triomes are my favorite lands! Consider running them. You might find they're pretty handy!
Hahaha, I loved how you corrected your bad advice of buying boxes to get cards! SOOO expensive.
Wishing I could do a series on just opening boxes to see how many it takes to complete a set lol. Like how few or how many it takes to get 1 of every card.
@@CRGGames I would watch that, but wow would that be pricey!
Let's get it !! I've got an Edgar Markov deck as well. I love it, i also pulled one from a Walmart cube
Wish I could get that lucky!
It was on one of my Big Box Dave video's of your wanting to see some spice
I made an edgar markov deck like you, it has mostly the same vampires, the tutors, the ramp, but im using proxies since I put my stuff in my syr konrad and kenrith decks because I didn't want to be the hate bear at the table, I still am with kenrith, I think you should put in swords to plowshares for removal and kalitas traitor of ghet, along with drana kalistria blood chief, and maybe adaptive automaton and death priest of myrakul to boost up your deck, and if you got money laying around that you wanna bring the deck out more, mana vault and imperial seal went down in price due to double masters 2022 reprints, but im burnt out from money spending so maybe only if you want to maximize the deck if you feel like it, and get the boros fetch and shock lands and orzhov fetch and shocks, im not a professional deck builder either, im mostly a collector, just got back into playing and vampires were my first deck in 2011 with carnival of blood standard precon, I made a rakdos olivia voldaren commander deck back in 2012/13 but it wasn't nearly as powerful as the deck I have now, I also bought edgar off ebay last summer before the crimson vow, midnight hunt cards, and built my deck from scratch, I wish I had the tokens though, they look pretty cool
Thanks for the suggestions! Florian will be going in the deck in place of Mathas. I know that so far. I'll have to see what other things I can thin out for additional cards. I originally had Adaptive in the first build but he could definitely go back in! Thanks for watching and I hope you get your decks where you want them to be soon enough!
@@CRGGames thanks for the reply
@@CRGGames I put my cards back in after second thought, I don't like how syr konrad plays and edgar will have a special place in my heart because I love vampires to death, instead of putting in adaptive automaton try putting in blightsteel colossus or if it's too pricey put in grafted exoskeleton and phyrysis- infect goes well with vampires and it's always good to smack them in the face with poison counters
The only thing is I'm not a big fan of infect because it kind of feels like cheating since you only need 10 counters to beat you opponent. I did put Florian in but haven't tested it out again yet. Been working on sorting/listing/shipping orders. I do agree with you, vampires are a super fun archetype to play and have been one of my favorites so far!
I absolutely love this deck! I copied it. OMG EVERYBODY HATES ME. The deck is scary powerful and Edgar seriously makes a literal army. It is awesome. I took out 1 card I believe it is the 1 card that will scry when you sacrifice a creature for a newer card from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander and that is Charismatic Conqueror.
i cant wait to get back to playing commander at some point. i keep buying cards, but i cant get out to an lgs to play currently and i dont have a good setup for spelltable. edgar is my strongest deck currently, but not nearly as shiny and updated as yours.
I've never used spelltable. Have you tried Magic Online? It's pretty darn good for playing and the community is nice enough!
This is really cool. I have an Edgar commander deck and I barely use any of these cards. Would love to see how yours plays and how different it is from mine!
I'm jealous of that vampire token box 😮
Edgar Markov is love, Edgar Markov is life
EchoMTG had a site redesign and unfortunately that decklist is not around anymore. I will redo it and upload to MTG Goldfish when I can though. Thanks!
Really like your Edgar you have a few better lands then mine and I run the same infinite combo. Just like you I win like 60-70% of the time. I also run this white 5cmc enchantment ( I forget the name) but you put a +1+1 counter everytime a creature comes into play under your control. It goes nuts lol. The hardest tokes. I wasn't able to get much of were my coil serpent tokens for my Koma deck. They were hard to find. I saw the foil coil tokens were going for $20 I said yeah no I'll pass 😂.
The token game is real lol. They need to stop including add cards in packs and start including more tokens! I'm gonna see if I can't find that enchantment as well. Sounds intriguing!
Cathar's Crusade
I love full art foil basic lands i love my edgar markov deck.
The non-matching basic lands triggered me A LOT but you do you bro
it is the only way to go my man!
Perfect Fits or Perfect Fit Hards? I’ve found the perfect fit hards work better for foils
Just the regular Perfect Fits although I've been considering switching over to the hard sleeves
@@CRGGames Yeah give them a try with Dragon Shield matte outers, only real issue is final deck size/height, but I play constructed not EDH so it works well for me, might be too tall for your preference tho.
The mountain is unglued
Thank you! I always get those early ones mixed up!
Nice deck! I haven’t watched your other video yet for Animar, but I’ll check it out. I have an Aesi deck all foil that I’ve worked on for a while. Yuriko is my more competitive deck that costs just about as much!
Foil Aesi EDH would be sweet! Getting everything to be foil can be challenging on the wallet though. I had it in Animar for a little while early on before its current build. So many ways you can take that deck. And Yuriko too is such a great commander!
this deck is cool..how many basic lands do you play?
I'm not 100% sure how many are in there at the moment, but I limit basic lands as much as possible. I go for utility and hope no one is playing blood moon lol
The last time I priced my treasure deck it was about 5000 bucks only counting the expensive stuff but if there is anything I have learned about mtg is that your decks price will change a lot based on reprints and availability also while those tokens are nice I would have opted for the first vampire token prints just as I have the first sliver token and zombie token as well as the elephant tokens nothing says expensive deck like a 50 buck zombie token lol
That's a chunky bit of value! I'd love to have older tokens but as far as I know the only printings of 1/1 vanilla vampires are from the original pre-con deck.
@@CRGGames the 2017 precon and ixalan have the first 2 prints I looked them up also your tokens are 4 bucks ea
@@CRGGames oh and I'd get that judge promo Edgar it's so pretty
i look all over my room for my cat until i realizes it was yours hahaha
Anytime she hears me talking she has to join in too lol!
I want to build an edgar markov deck so bad
Now is a great time since its after the Midnight Hunt/Crimson Vow craze!
Very nice deck im working on my 350 $ golgari great henge deck its awseome 👽
Love The Great Henge!
try adding All Will Be One, i think it is a great plus
That very well might be a good add!
Hey brother, would it be possible to upload a decklist somehow? :)
New decklist link updated in the description!
Im a lifetime modern player but starting to like edh. If I end up buying a deck itll be this!
This is a great one to play and can be played several different ways too!
Update: I now have 70% of the deck
nice foil deck, btw if you dont mind i ask. what camera are you using ? love the auto-focus
Thanks! I started out using a Canon Rebel SL3 with the kit lens but have more recently switched over to a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The cameras are amazing and I highly recommend it if you're looking to upgrade phones. I swapped over from a Samsung S72 when Google Fi had a 50% deal on the S22 Ultra.
Very nice deck. I also run a decent Edgar deck. While mine is a little more heavy on removal than yours. Not exactly sure how high your mana curve is or how high you want to take it but there are really some back breaking cards you can put in on the cheap if you want to put a bit more power into it.
I start with creatures. A couple that I can tell you put in quite a bit of work. 2 are a bit off tribe(1 shapeshifter with changling) First off is the total non tribe cards in Grey Merchant of Asphodel. I understand that it is off tribe and if you want all vamps its cool, but the value this will give you given that you will have a ton of black pips on board is huge. Second off is the shapeshifter, Mirror Entity. I have used his "x" ability quite a few times to boost up vampires in a pinch to great results and not something a lot of folks see coming. Lastly, Zagaras, thief of heartbeats. Flying, deathtouch and haste and gives all your creatures deathtouch, sign me up. Also has added benefit of any damage is dealt to a planeswalker its auto destroryed.
I saw a bit of card draw, if I could suggest a couple more I would advise Deadly Dispute. Yes you sac a creature but what are your tokens for lol. It nets you two cards and a treasure token. Also with the life gain in this deck, while I wouldn't call it card draw, is Bolas's Citadel. With enough life and if you don't flip more than one land, you can have a very explosive turn.
The last section i will just call the utility slot. All these cards have won me games with this deck. Mana value wise they are a bit on the higher end which might be why you don't have them in your deck., but well worth the casting costs. First off, Black Market. Creatures are going to be dying, so you will get a good amount of counters on it. Secondly, Patriarch's Bidding. If for some reason someone wipes the board and you are the only tribal deck, boom you are right back in the game. Lastly, and I think that this has led to more wins than anything in this deck for me, Ruinous Ultimatum. Yes, very expensive mana cost. Let me tell you though, not a lot of 1 sided board wipes in the game and this fits the bill.
Out of all of these not many will cost you much at all. I think that I got Black Market for like $2, Bolas's citadel in foil for like $5, and a promo pack Ultimatum for like $2. Let me know what you think and sorry for the huge wall of text.
Matt
Matt! Great feedback man! You put a lot of time and effort into your deck I can tell. Gary would definitely be a worth add but I would like to stay tribal so Zagras might be the better add. Deadly dispute too. I don't know why I didn't think to put that in until now! I've got Black Market and I think I had it in there in a very early build but seeing as how a lot of the deck revolves around sacking creatures, it should work well. And Patriarch's as well. I think I try to flood the board more than remove other peoples stuff in this deck though but still a good option! I really appreciate the thought you put into this. When I come back around to Edgar I'll see about shuffling things up to make it better!
@@CRGGames like all of my decks, it’s always in a state of refinement. Each time I play it it seems that I cut and add. I might actually cut my skullclamp due to all lord effects in my deck.
I just started back in January of 2020 after taking a 19 year break. So now a goal I have is making a deck with a commander from Guilds of Ravnica forward using commanders that are seldom used. Could be fun
For sure it would be fun and challenging. I think testing yourself to make a competent deck with a variety of commanders is the best way to become a more skilled player and I'm working on that myself now. Best of luck!
Love the list, thanks for sharing!
I've seen a bunch of lists run alot of 1cc vamps: What is your take on that?
(I think I prefer less 1cc but most lists have 8+)
Instead of going for straight casing cost, I tend to look at abilities that skew toward jankiness or cards that synergize well together. If I end up with more high CMC cards, I then look for ways to play them easier which tends to be draw and ramp. Thanks for watching!
Is not so different from my edgar deck but there's better choices for some cards you are using.
For sure! The great thing is EDH decks are always a work in progress!
Vampires need some good LORD's like the Zombies have .......Bloodline Keeper and Stromkirk Captain are good but another one good Lord would be amazing
Agreed! There are so many ways you can take Edgar and I've seen some new cards in DMU I'm thinking about adding!
An estimated 60-70% win rate in your playgroup means you are either way wayyyyyy of with your estimate or the rest of your playgroup has chosen to optimize toward loosing games without telling you.
Given a 4 player pod, you are looking at a naiv expected win rate of 25%. The power difference would have to be truly staggering to hope to win 70% of games.
It's not too big of a deal really. We just like to play and aren't very competitive. It's all about having fun!
I get that, my play group is similar although winning is nice. If I was losing 9 out of 10 games I'd start to wonder though. 😅
Pfft, don't even have the judge foil Edgar...
Sad pandas. I do not :( I am pleb
I’m here bc I just checked card Kingdom for an Edgar Markov and it’s like $120 for a regular art then $280 for a judge art WTF
Never been reprinted after the judge foil. A classic case of supply being way under demand
Edgar is an expensive boi!
Fun fact: edgar markov is vigo the carpathian
But he's a nice guy!
hi! my ask do you have a link or the correct name with which i can find your transparent vampire token box? i really like it.
Yes you can find them right here! amzn.to/3Pi4PkP I have a bunch of these that I used to hold all the various tokens/sideboard cards for each deck.
Im the same way have to have tokens. Ran a gw token deck didnt have the token and only represent with dice i forgot creature type of the tokens cause it was dice
Token are life and a low key flex for those who know how much they can be sometimes!
omg you pronounced necropotence the same way I do!
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Does skullclamp work with tokens being they dont actually go to the graveyard?
When tokens die they do hit the graveyard which causes triggered abilities to trigger. After that happens they cease to exist.
Neck - crop - potence
I want to intentionally mis-pronounce it from here on out lol
Still waiting for the decklist :3
New link is in the description! I'm going through all the old links that got messed up and redoing the lists.
My favourite card: Graven Karens
Such a beaut!
Is your name Hill?
rudy is that you?
Not enough tacos here to be Rudy lol!
deckslist?
Decklist has been redone and is in the description!
can you do one for kadena as commander.
That is a commander I don't currently have in my collection but if I get one I can take a look at doing a video. When researching I found most of the cards you'd want to play in it are in the pre-con. I'd start there, take a look at upgrading any lands that come in tapped. It's a pretty good deck right out of the box!
Necrapidense lol
That's how it comes out lol
LOL
Would you happen to have a deck list?
Yep! www.echomtg.com/decks/list/oHzh4/
$1500 but only wins 60% of the time?
60% of the time, all the time lol!
$1500 deck in a $2 deckbox?
No, its $4 lol!
can you list it?
Sure thing. I forgot to do that. Check the video description!
1500$ Deck and a 3$ deck box xD
You're right lol. I'm waiting on the Professor's deck box to come out to move it into a new home. The one it's in now is embarrassing 🤣
@@CRGGames I was thinking the exact same thing. It's crazy what these decks end up being worth after a while. It's hard to explain to those outside the game.
I wouldn't call it embarrassing. Just a reminder of where the deck came from.
There is a guy in my play group who kept all of his cards in the original shoe box for old times sake.
A shoe box isn't too bad if I compare it to my buddy who, for about 6 months, would carry his decks around in a KFC bag. We poked so much fun at him until I eventually bought him an Ultra Pro deck bag to carry everything in.
This is the second video I’ve seen where someone says there Edgar Markov deck wins 60% of its games.
Could someone explain this to me.
I dont understand this.
This is pretty obviously not a competitive deck. It’s not particularly close. So why do players let the deck win 60%?
Why don’t they just make their decks better?
I never played “casual commander” so maybe I am missing something. In fact I know I am. My friends and I started playing edh a couple years ago but we didn’t know about any kind of “casual commander format”, whatever that even means exactly. So we just always tried to build powerful decks that tried to beat each other by whatever means necessary. Eventually we set a budget limit (at first) to keep it from being a pay to win situation. Now we are a proxy friendly group.
But why would people just intentionally let this deck win 60% of games?
I don’t understand this.
Why don’t they just build better decks?
Wouldn’t that be more fun for everyone?
If anyone is under the illusion that they can’t build a better deck on a budget, that’s the only thing I can think of?? It’s not even remotely close to true.
This Edgar Markov list would not even be part of the game at our $150 budget nights. If anyone needs help beating an Edgar Markov deck on a budget just let me know.
Selvala
Kinnan
Malcom Kediss
Yuriko
Codie
Any of these decks could be built sub $200 in ways that would make these types of decks (like this Edgar Markov deck) not really even be a part of the pod.
Lemme know, anyone, if you feel like you are up against a pay wall or someone has taken off in your meta and you think you can’t win the arms race. Maybe I should make a RUclips channel on exactly this subject.
Post a comment to me and I’ll give you advice or just post one of my many sub $500 lists that threaten to win the game on turns 3-4
Or if you want a more midrange or control strategy I’m happy to help you w that too.
I have a $150 Selvala list that wins very consistently turn 4 and a Codie list that I am working on that I’m sure can beat that 4 turn clock by maybe a full turn or at least it can be a turn 3.5 average at $150.
There is zero reason to let someone w a non competitive list win 60% of games.
Lemme know if you are in that situation. I’d love to help.
🖖namaste
Not sure really how to respond to this. Every play group is different and in my locality this deck wins relatively consistently. This is also because players in my area don't typically play turn 2 Kinnan or Magda decks, etc. Most of us play in the same general power level. And to be fair, this deck can be built much cheaper by not using bling cards. Regardless, I am proud of the deck I built, it is fun to play and when I let my friends use it they also agree. This whole mentality of "must win at all costs" is not something I share. But I'm glad you took the time to watch the video and share your thoughts.
@@CRGGames loved your deck and the video. I play just a black/white version and I keep getting recommendations that I either focus on creatures or focus on lose life/gain life. Great to see corroboration that you can build a deck that does both 😁
cringe
IDK if yo'ure winning 60 percent of your games in a 4 player game then you need to go to more of a cedh table and stop pub stomping people in casual games also how the f do you spend 1500 dollars and a deck and say its not super optimized??
Totally agree. This deck tended to be too strong so I don't play it as much right now. Just every once in a while when everyone wants to play higher power stuff. The reason I said it's not super optimized is because I do not consider myself a great deck builder. Everything works decently at first and then it takes me a few revisions before I can figure out the direction I want to go and tune it in. I'm more of a collector which tends to allow for bling versions of cards in decks. Take those out and the price falls a good bit. Still fun to build and try new things though!
pretty cheap deck, looks cool!
Ballin' on a budget!
wins 60% of games *pulls out mathas* alright buddy you're just pubstomping your buddies
Mathas is sweet!
@@CRGGames I love mathas right out the precon, but you admit he can be cut out the deck
@@edsontorrontegui9491 For sure. What would you replace him with?
