Tokens — Eminence and doublers like Anointed Procession flood the board for go-wide damage.
Voltron — The attack trigger can stack counters on a single evasive Vampire for commander-damage kills.

Eminence — Whenever you cast another Vampire spell, if Edgar is in the command zone or on the battlefield, create a 1/1 black Vampire creature token.

First strike, haste

Whenever Edgar attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on each Vampire you control.

Flood the board with Vampires using Edgar's Eminence trigger from the command zone, anthem-boost the swarm, and crash in for lethal while his attack trigger pumps everyone. You curve out cheap Vampires turn after turn, generating free tokens, then close fast with go-wide aggression backed by sacrifice and drain effects.

Eminence works from the command zone, so you generate value even before Edgar hits the battlefield or after he dies

Extremely fast, explosive starts that can punish slow tables

Built-in anthem via the attack trigger snowballs board state quickly

Mardu colors give access to the best removal, tutors, and aristocrats payoffs

Heavily reliant on a wide board, so board wipes are devastating

Token-centric strategy folds to Cyclonic Rift, Wrath effects, and stax pieces

Can run out of gas if the aggression is stopped or stabilized against

Vulnerable to spot removal and graveyard hate on key recursion pieces

Captivating Vampire

Anthem plus a tap-to-steal ability that can lock down creatures and threatens lethal with a wide board.

Bloodline Keeper

Makes a Vampire token every turn and flips into a lord, a relentless engine of bodies.

Vampiric Rites

Turns excess tokens into card draw and life, fueling the deck through wraths.

Sorin, Lord of Innistrad

Provides an anthem, token generation, and a powerful emblem for a grindy Vampire deck.

Skullclamp

Premier card advantage engine, sacrificing 1/1 tokens for two cards each.

Anointed Procession

Doubles every Eminence token, exponentially accelerating the swarm.

Add fast mana like Sol Ring, Mana Vault, and the relevant signets/medallions to deploy threats ahead of curve, plus tutors (Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor) to find Skullclamp or your engine. Lean into aristocrats finishers (Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, Cruel Celebrant) and resilience via Cathars' Crusade and recursion so wraths don't end the game. Cut weak vanilla Vampires for impactful lords, doublers, and efficient interaction like Swords to Plowshares and Anguished Unmaking.
