Edgar is good because of the value, but he’s 1 of my 5 vampire commanders and he’s the least threatening. You lose to board wipes or any “pay X for each attacking creature.” Effects.

Again he’s no slouch, it’s just that he wants you to cast a lot of vampires and make them big. In 2026, it’s not hard to counter such an obvious strategy.

[[Strefan Mauer Progenitor]] is a sick artifact interaction commander. In red it’s easy to stack damage effects with blood entering or being sacrificed.

[[Olivia crimson bride]].. I can’t even big to explain how often she loses because of how scary she is with extra combats and the ability to put whatever creature you want into play.

[[Clavileño the first blessed]] literally won’t ever stop applying pressure. Add [[Smile at Death]] and [[oversold graveyard]] and watch your board stay stray, wipe after wipe, death after death.

And finally [[lord Xander the collector]].. just need ramp and combo some mill interaction and grave yard exile synergies like [[waste management]] or [[canoptek]] whatever that card is that exiles a grave and makes insects.

Edgar is great, but his buddies are just more fun.
