Hey everyone, just a quick heads up! I am going to be out of the country on vacation for a little while so I apologize if it takes me a little while to respond! Episodes will still be scheduled and be up at the normal days and times. Since I have to schedule episodes in advance though, if you are a new Patron that needs to have your name added to the credits, I won’t be able to add your name in until after the episode on the 29th. My apologies for the inconvenience!
Hi i really love the videos and hope you have fun on vacation i was wondering if campaign of vengence would be a good include as a sudo second copy of sanctum seeker maybe over one of the aggresive one drop
The Commander's Quarters I knew it would have at least one vampire
Definitely a good card to consider!
Haha good call!
Don't worry we'll let you off ;) enjoy your vacation :)
I wish I could order this for the prices at this time. x'D
big mood
40$ for me...
For US Communist Penguin.
Eh comrade? 😋
Chris Noble yes comrade, FOR US! (I finally found Markov at 15$, now waiting to reveive him and start my Vampire deck 😈)
I legitimately am picking him up as well. 🤣
unfortunately, the price of the dice youll need is not included 😂
Haha true
I got so excited but the card prices have changed a LOT :((
It’s a good day when you own most of the cards in a budget deck list 😎 makes it even cheaper
Nice!
For an April Fools joke you should make an Atogatog EDH or something from the Un-sets
Nah dude it should be an incredibly expensive deck that's moderately mediocre.
Haha I will consider it!
Atogatog is a viable strategy with at least three win conditions, though...
It's funny that this is the video that got me to start playing MtG, when I realized I could make a fun and playable deck on a reasonable budget, and now Edgar Markov by himself is $25. I started playing a year ago and bought my own budget Edgar Markov deck (with major differences from this video's recommended decklist), and the total came to around $30 (Edgar himself was $6), which of course is no longer possible due to ever increasing demand for cards and by extension increasing prices.
Lol okay. Good to know at one time Edgar was cheap because now he is easily a $45-60 dollar card in 2021.
@@GeekandGlory bruh he's $75 now xD
And now hes sitting at $100
@@rev1ction Yeah I noticed that lol. WotC hasn't put in much of an effort to keep up with EDH demand, they seem perfectly content to let more and more cards climb to crazy prices.
Can’t get enough of these deck techs! Another great one!
Thanks!
Sorin Markov works as a fantastic edition to any strategy that involves an opponent's HP being 10 or less, as he can snap his fingers and make any player's life total become 10 the instant he comes out on the battlefield.
Can definitely go in that direction!
Simply amazing. Always struggling tp build cheap commander decks and Ive always had trouble with Edgar. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
And now he's 60 bucks... Crazy.. I really want to build him
Proxy 😉
This is the best deck I've seen in the channel so far. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is easily one of my favorites so far! Keep the good job ;)
I love Edgar and liked this video even before watching! Well done, definitely editing my own deck with your pieces.
Thanks!
I have invested in my own Edgar Markov deck before, but I love the way you look at it! I’m not usually the guy who sits down for 20 minutes watching a single video, but you are very engaging and I LOVE this kid of a channel. You guys are what make the Magic community awesome. You guys give us the tools to build something like high level decks, with something small. Please, keep it up, I love your content, you’re awesome!
Thanks!
Every video i insta click! a testament to how quality these videos are! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
You should do a top 10 list of budget edh commanders! and lists of other budget staples too. love your channel
Working on it! :)
Great job as always. I second the Admiral Beckett Brass deck idea.
Maybe in the future!
Sweet deck! I really like utilising the one drops too. This looks like it's capable of some very explosive turns.
Thanks!
I always love the names you give each category. Really makes it fun to watch. Do you know what else would be fun... A brudiclad deck tech ;)
Haha I've heard that a time or two before.
Awsome deck as usual! Mardu and abzan are my day 3 color combinations and edgar is a great commander. Cant wait to try this out one day!
Love egdar commanders, love budget builds. Great video
Thanks!
Love this deck I’m new to magic and everyone hates it when I play this one. Thank you so much!
Loving the videos!! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Just superb. I was wondering if there was gonna be a big payoff by the end, and you did not let us down.
Thanks!
Love vamps good job on the video
Hey Mitch!
Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on and Edgar deck myself cause of this video, but I've made some changes. I got 1 to 3 cost vampires across all 3 colors (With the exception of Bloodline Keeper), and while there's almost no life gain, I'm compensating by focusing more on combat, and hitting hard & fast as often as I can.
Great as always! Would love to see Gisa and Geralf deck.
Maybe in the future!
Unique way to setup Edgar Markov, fast efficient and powerful, I personally bought the pre-constructed Markov deck and heavily modified it, I would love to link my Tappedout deck list but, I haven't updated it since I rebuilt it 6 months ago, very well done on a 25$ budget, I'd love to run my deck against this one and see what they do against on another. Again great build on a very limited budget.
Thanks!
I’m a newbie player and everyone groans when I use this deck ty!!
Man I got really sick and seeing this video brings joy to my soul
Glad to help!
Vona is my favorite vampire. Shes especially good for any non-creature removal. The 7 life needed to pay can almost be instantly replenished due to her having lifelink. With her having vigilance, she can attack than tap to destroy any blocking creatures.
Definitely a great card!
This looks awesome.
I run a less budget edgar list, and it runs a lot of the same cards. This is a very solid deck tech and I'm impressed with the deck quality within the budget limit.
Thanks!
will you do a break the bank upgrade on this please it deserves it:p
That "$2.75" gets me every time... lol
you should go on the command zone with one of your favorite decks
That would be pretty sweet!
Great video!
Thanks!
I would love to see Hope of Ghirapur! I depend on videos like yours to keep Magic cheap and playable paper wise. I'm slowly moving towards online play cause of the cost.
Glad I can help!
This budget deck looks insane! a reasonable upgrade I would of added was Black sun's zenith- since we're running a decent amount of counter buffs
Definitely could be!
Fo sho
Decklist
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/edgar-markov-the-commanders-quarters-1/
I think there's room for a flavourful Aristocrat subtheme here using blood artist, falkenrath noble and such. Elenda, the dusk rose helps that a lot, as does Cliffhaven Vampire. It opens the door to sanguine bond, exquisite blood shenanigans, etc
Can definitely go in that direction if you want to!
Cliffhaven Vampire, Epicure of Blood, and/or Marauding Blight Priest create an instant win combo.
Add in Cruel Celebrant, Vicera Seer, Butcher of Malakir, Elenda, Elenda's Hyrophant, and you end up gaining a ton of life with a tone of creatures. If you get two of the Vamps out in the first line above, all that Lifelink (or the Celebrant) creates the trigger for the combo. Even without the instant win, it is ruthless. I threw in a New Blood, and a Damning verdict to help keep the other players creatures down.
FWIW, Markov is $120 now...
Couldn't resist anymore. Built this one thanks to tcgplayer. I went semi upgraded. Mr. Markov is no longer a $2 card though lol still - very fun!
I bought this deck when it came out and then the Ixalan block added a bunch of new options for upgrades. I can tell you now that Mavren Fein is silly with Indulgent Aristocrat.
Swing hard, if they can't block, eat the new token and make your swing bigger, if they do, eat what they block and you have a big lifelink token and a bigger swing. Either way you dish out a lot of damage and can regain a game changing amount of life if you have something like Sanguine Bond out.
Coming back to this in 2022, can you imagine paying less than $3.00 for this card 💀💀
One of my favorite vampires to run is Elusive Tormentor/Insidious mist (double sided card). Its a 4/4 for 5 but has the ability to transform at instant speed by paying mana and discarding a card. It transforms into insidious mist which has hexproof, indestructible, and I think flying with an ability to transform back at instant speed as well. If you include Odric lunarch marshal in, you can just leave indulgent tormentor as insidious mist to give all your vampire army indestructible and hexproof.
Nice content as per usual. Is there any possibility of an Admiral Beckett Brass deck?
Gosh, I would LOVE that 😍
You never know what will come in the future!
Also an immortal servitude' would be awesome for this deck!
That too!
Wish I could subscribe twice, you deserve it
I'll email CZcams to see if that's a possibility ;)
i love it might make a second edgar i just run one edgar deck
door of destinies, radiant destiny, vanquishers banner, urza's incubator and if you wat to afford it herald's horn
Another possible mana rock in pillar of origins, sure you can only cast creature spells with it but still a good mana rock.
path of ancestry and unclaimed territory are also good lands to upgrade your mana base
All great tribal cards!
I'm definitely going to try this one. Maybe you can do a mono-white with Odric, Master Tactician? That would be great!
Awesome! In the future, you never know!
Hey, hope you're enjoying your vacation. I've been loving your content and this channel is pretty much the only one I comment on because of how active you are, it's really impressive. I wanted to ask, is Thraximundar on your radar at all? He seems pretty one dimensional but him being grixis could have a lot of spice, curious if you have considered him. Theres not been an edh deck tech on him in around 2 years, would be a good reminder to people that he exists
He may be in the future!
@@TheCommandersQuarters Yeah Thrax is a favorite- just the artwork alone!
Kinda surprised with The choice, wasn't waiting for him xD. The deck looks pretty fun
Yep!
You forgot Forerunner to the Legion! Tutor for a vampire and you can add a +1/+1 counter to target creature whenever another vampire enters play. 2+W and 2/2 $.14 NM
Thanks for the video. Really made my restarting MtG easier where Commander is THE format locally.
Definitely a good consideration! Was trying to stay to mostly black vampires for consistency.
It's not a counter. You simply give another vampire, any vampire you control, +1/+1 until end of turn.
I just checked this decklist, because I love Vampire tribal, immediately after you posted this. 28$ on TCG and 38$ on CK for the deck, not including lands.
Did you happen to reoptimize with HP and damaged cards?
When I ran Edgar I was never a huge fan of Bloodlord of Vaasgoth, I eventually swapped him out for Drana, Liberator of Malakir. Well costed, great keywords, killer ability.
Definitely a great reasonable upgrade!
Yaaaaayyy!!! My favorite commander
A great one!
Hmmmmmmm This is inspiring me to finally take apart that vampire commander precon and build this with some upgrades.
Nice!
There is a sorcery from ixilan that deals damage to each opponent for each creature you controll. I feel that it would work well in this deck or any that goes wide and has black mana
What about a series of episodes of budget upgrades to pre-con decks?
Maybe!
this is the classic and best tipe of markov deck
Yep!
Pretty nice
Thanks!
I would honestly love to se these decks being played by you!
Working on it!
The Commander's Quarters awesome! Love the content man
Thanks!
I would love to see a Brago king eternal deck. I love blue white and the flickering theme, but the decks now seem so expensive.
Would be fun!
Keep going! ;D Awesome as every time :3 do you have tips for people who want to build budget on their own ? I always use edhrec for a new commander but ... there is no way getting near the 25 $
Use scryfall and remove cards under $2 to start when you search.
@@TheCommandersQuarters I'll try :) thanks a Lot! You are making my days better
No problem!
Any chance of seeing a Rashmi build? Can't wait to see whether you guys go tribal or clone/clue related :D
Maybe in the future!
Butcher of Malakir is the cheapest gravepact effect money can buy. Sac a bunch of tokens to Blood Bairn when you've got it, the Butcher, and Falkenrath Noble out, here's what happens: you drain an opponent's life total, everyone sacs a bunch of creatures, the noble drains everyone if you wish. Sac enough and you can blow someone out of the game while hurting everyone else's board state. Add Sanguine Bond to that combo, with all of the other drain effects in the deck, you may have won without tapping a single card. I need to build this deck now.
Sac ten creatures to Bairn in this combo, you've brunched one person in the face for 40 life points, everyone else for 20; or you've drained two people for 40, gained 60 life, forced the survivors to sac 10 creatures, and Blood Bairn is a 22/22.
Finish with Blood Tribute, you win.
A great way to go about it!
I like the colors and also like the vampires, I want to know what would you include into this deck since edgar is so powerful, i would like to see him in an efficiently priced deck for like 100$, especially since the deck price is now $60....
Sweet budget deck! Mine way more expensive but i think i should have gone budget instead lol
Ez deck ez life great vid
Thanks!
Would love to see a Reasonably Upgraded / What's In What's Out on this video!
I agree 100%. Still a bit of a MTG Newbie but I love Commander and these budget decks are a great way to get started. The only problem I have is knowing which cards to take out when bringing in an 'upgrade'. So I would really like to see the In/Out added to the video
*Shilling for a moment* Anyone wanting to request a Commander, there is a poll that goes up but it is on Patreon. We have a good group on the Discord server with players who are thirsty for more and also very helpful on this topic (yes, I am including myself there)
I decided to throw this together . I have every card for the deck but what creatures would you replace? I have most of the Sorin planes walkers so I though about throwing a couple of them in. Also have Swiftfoot boots and lightning greaves to thrown in and fetches and shocks
Well done as always. How about a deck list for Narset. I see alot of pricey builds but I would love to see her built on the cheap or even Zur who's another powerhouse that could be done on the cheap.
In the short run, Budget EDH Decks has a Narset deck and Deck Builder's Society has a Zur budget deck. Check them out.
Maybe in the future!
I've been trying to work on a Darigaaz Reincarnated budget build focusing on the big dragon boy as a recurring bomb and the rest of the deck made to get him down as quickly as possible, the rest of the deck playing more of a reactive strategy with instants and sorceries. I'd be interested in your take on it, if you're making a list, the build I have is lacking a certain "Je ne sais quoi" or "Punch".
Hello, great video as always! I'm currently building Edgar Markov deck and was wondering if there's a chance you could make $100 budget decklist?
Also since you've made it 7-8 months ago this could also count as an update since there are some very good vampires like Cruel Celebrant that compliment low-cost strategies.
you probably have most of you upcoming decks planned but if you can, can you come up with an ideal for "Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts" as a commander please? : )
Hi wish to know, the reasonable upgrades are used to replace which cards in the 99?
Yay I was hoping for like a Mathas fiend seeker deck but oh well :) I always like commander quarter stuff.
Thanks!
You've done Tasigur and Shu Yun, will you do Alesha?
In the future you never know!
You should do a video on a dimir commander with cards from the new set.
Definitely a possibility!
Hi am new to magic. If I were to buy this deck and all 6 of the additional upgrades, which cards from the original deck should I replace?
Can you make Nath of the Gilt-Leaf please? I really want to see that card shines especially in my LGS
Maybe in the future!
Nice
Thanks!
This commander is now over $20 alone haha good luck fitting this into a budget.
Cathars' Crusade sounds good in theory but horrible in practice when it comes to token-heavy decks. Keeping track of how many +1/+1 counters on each creature requires A LOT of dice or counters. Have fun using a spreadsheet!
How would you recommend upgrading the precon Edgar?
I think elenda, the dusk Rose would be a good addition for later as well as butcher of malakir?
Without ways to really cheat Butcher in, imo, it is too expensive. If you threw in Unbural Rites as a backup you can easily fit it
@@fearanarchy that's a good point, I was only really considering all the sacrificing of tokens the deck generating
I'm getting my foil Vampires now..before the prices skyrocket with the next preview season
I think this deck is amazing i wanna build my first deck and i want it to be this one btw does any of this cards have gotten baned
Will Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap be good as removals in the deck since they are tribal instant spells?
Potentially!
If I already own gatekeeper of Malakir would it be a good include?
I would like to see a zurgo helmsmasher deck tech
Heyy, please make a derevi budget deck!! I'd love that :)
What do I take out for the upgrades ?
If you do the upgrades what would you take out
did you guys ever do a budget varina deck???
so what would you replace in the deck for the upgrades? those upgrades seem very reasonable, I was thinking of adding morre changelings instead of all of these small 1/1's but they all seem to do something that helps the game plan so I don't know
Depends on your playstyle and your meta! My recommendation is to test it out as is and make adjustments based on your preferences!
@@TheCommandersQuarters I guess the vampire lord can replace vampire interloper since its a 2/1 for 2 that does nothing, I also added Legion's landing, which I might take out again and Ajani's welcome for some life gain, as that gives us 1 life every time you cast a creature. since we have 45+ creatures in the deck (I think you had 48, I have 45), that's 45 life if we get it down on turn 1. Legion's landing might not be needed, maybe I can find a better card to put in instead. Edit: the only vampire lord that is left that isn't in this deck is "Vampire Nocturnus" so I guess I'm putting that in oh and Sovereign's bite because.. why not, it's dirt cheap and has a 6 life lifeswing to it (you gain 3, they lose 3). Gifted Aetherborn iss also something to consider, its a 2/3 for 2 black with lifelink and death touch
Can you do a budget "Ob nixilis of the black oath"? I'm trying to go voltron but I think a creature heavy build might be better
Not planned as of now, but you never know!
