This card goes great with Vance’s blasting cannon in the deck once it flips into spitfire bastion. It’s an easy look at the top 3 and pick one at worst. Great card!
I already love this Card for several reasons: It's Rakdos colored It's a Vampire (Edgar was my first Commander from Precon) It's from Innistrad, which is my favorite Plane and best of all... IT'S GOT MY NAME, SO I CAN PLAY MYSELF AS A COMMANDER OR IN THE 99 XD
This feels like the same strategy as a "Belbe, Corrupted Observer" deck, only it digs up cards instead of mana, and including red instead of green has a lot more ping options.
I definitely want this card for a Rakdos Vampire Tribal deck... I can already see the potential, as a lot of vampires (or at least ones from the first Innistrad block) have Bloodthirst, benefitting from being cast on your post combat main phase by gaining effects if an opponent was dealt damage that turn, giving some synergy there. They also have some pretty good ways to ping opponents and deal a fair amount of damage. I'm sure a non-Tribal deck would be able to manage a whole lot better, but I think a Tribal deck would work amazingly still.
My Rakdos group hug deck would love it. If course a hug from the Rakdos isn't exactly friendly so you end up a bit bloodied from the exchange. Lots of party draw, but also lots of damage and loss of life in exchange. Not to mention the relentless wither.
I am glad this doesn't trigger on just combat damage. I like narrow cards because to me it is fun to build around but its always good to see something broad every once in a while.
Yeah, my Rakdos, LoR deck is going to love this guy. For sure. I mean a 3 drop 3/3 with first strike will help to fulfill Rakdos’ cast requirement too. Love it.
It might be worthwhile adding the other rakdos shrines. The honden of infinite rage also deals damage per shrine and the old black one forces opponents to discard. I was also thinking birgi and rousing refrain may also be good adds for more mana.
I feel the same way!! Dish out damage that reduces the casting cost of your cards, and then be able to basically tutor through x amount of cards equal to the damage dealt. CAN SOMEONE SAY BROKEN!!! Hell, throw in a mind crank and also be able to mill your opponents for the damage dealt. Triple threat combo to the max.
@@Dzicozan What's really busted is that it doesn't specify a certain card type only you can exile. So you can exile a board wipe to play, or exile a land if you missed a land drop.
@@Totescolin I saw another one that costs 4 mana for 2 damage to each player, but if you cast it during your main phase it does 5 damage instead. Seems like another solid option.
I think vicious rumors would be good in this deck because for just one black mana it does this Vicious Rumors deals 1 damage to each opponent. Each opponent discards a card, then mills a card. You gain 1 life.
Sooo it looks like Prosper is getting an edgy vampire boyfriend and I can't wait. Unless this is the Voldaren that Sorin is marrying, rather than Olivia? :P
Been brewing this all day. Neheb is an auto include, gives you the same amount of mana as cards you get to look at. Also mind crank would be nasty haha
Just wanted to say the same. It's like this deck can just swap it's commander (RLOR vs Florion) if you feel like it. Which is also nice if you want a quick change for little cost.
How about some magical christmas land, where you get to activate heartless hidetsugo and then double the trigger with strionic resonator, to dig through a total of 120 cards?
Surprised that you mentioned Direfleet but not Scourge of the Skyclaves. For 2 more mana, you can halve everyone's life totals, which can be like 50 life total, with the bonus of being beefy if you're all under 20 life.
When they say you can "play" the card, does that include discarding it for Tormenting Voice? If so, the value combo with Prosper, Tome Bound, Florian, Tormenting Voice, and a madness card. Would a madness card get a double trigger off of prosper? Oh man the spice!
Isn't there a creature lets you play cards from the bottom of your library? I think if you stack it correctly with this commander that could double your access to a needed spell
I don't think there is, but also this guy puts on the bottom in a random order, so unless you deal 2 damage to opponents, you won't have the card you want on the bottom.
Not sure if I'm forgetting something about magic or what, but if opponents lose life before he enters, does he still get the trigger? Ex. Opponents lose 3 each, Florian enters, combat, post combat.
Interesting, I was just going to toss him in my Edgar Markov deck and drain people with Blood Artist and whatever Vampire tokens weren't lost in combat. xD
I agree. I'm still not a fan of impulse draw. A part of me really wants the casting window to be until the end of your next turn. But at least this guy comes out early and Rakdos has all the ways to cause life loss.
Prosper would like words with Florian.
I thought the same an dwill defintely play it in my Prosper-Deck.
Yes: One of us, one of us! ONE OF US!!!
Safe, Prosper is interested.
One of us

Same brother, same.
Also Jarsyl dark age scion looks like my twin IRL.
GUESS I SHOULD BUILD A DECK WITH BOTH THEN.
You forgot Heartless Hidetsugu. He would be pure fire with this.
Oh snapppp. Look at the top…. 60? Seems legit.
same with temporal extorsion or pox
This looks like a nice piece for my Edgar deck.
Just what I was thinking
Ditto! Just what I was thinking!
You sure? The vampire socialite that has been spoiled seems much better imho
@@alessandrodellanno948 you can put more than one new card in your commander deck.
@@AricHaldan0782 I know,I am just saying that I am not so bought on this card.
This card looks saucy in many ways. Looks like it can go in prosper tome bound 👀
exactly what i was thinking
I was thinking rakdos lord of riots, help dig through the deck for the super big threat
This gives me a Cream of the Crop vibe, digging through your deck every turn, even if the conditions and results are different.
Jar of eyeballs
Syphon Soul was the card I immediately thought of when I saw this. You get 6 life, and get to dig for 6 cards. It also goes for $0.09 right now.
*weeps tears of joy*
it's so beautiful!! i can't wait to put this guy into my Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck
This feels like the same strategy as a "Belbe, Corrupted Observer" deck, only it digs up cards instead of mana, and including red instead of green has a lot more ping options.
Heyyyy I agree lol
This goes straight into my rakdos lord of riots deck
Another piece to work into the anje precon. As a rakdos piece this really works
I definitely want this card for a Rakdos Vampire Tribal deck...

This was like watching a deck tech on my Rakdos lord of riots deck
My brother! our spectacles shall be LEGENDARY
I am glad this doesn't trigger on just combat damage. I like narrow cards because to me it is fun to build around but its always good to see something broad every once in a while.
"I'm a powerful vampire! My name is Florian" xD
Yeah, my Rakdos, LoR deck is going to love this guy. For sure. I mean a 3 drop 3/3 with first strike will help to fulfill Rakdos’ cast requirement too. Love it.
I have class in 5 minutes, but this is definitely better xD
Damn i might want to build a deck with him tbh
I'm just building with what I got for him
Really want a deck tech/list for this guy especially. Sincerely excited for them.
the enchantment subversion and things like sanguine bond lifegain style decks came to mind with this commander.
Its like Rakdos Belbe but with card draw
It might be worthwhile adding the other rakdos shrines. The honden of infinite rage also deals damage per shrine and the old black one forces opponents to discard. I was also thinking birgi and rousing refrain may also be good adds for more mana.
Looks like a good card for my Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck.

digging the top 6-12 cards consistently for eldrazi or other huge creatures to cast seems good to me, I'm in!
@@Dzicozan What's really busted is that it doesn't specify a certain card type only you can exile. So you can exile a board wipe to play, or exile a land if you missed a land drop.
@@vulture_of_life9274 yeah okay its versatility is even better than I thought, what an auto-include
Flame Rift seems really good. 2 mana to dig 12 deep.
Flame Rift is probably the Golden Pig for this deck.
@@Totescolin I saw another one that costs 4 mana for 2 damage to each player, but if you cast it during your main phase it does 5 damage instead. Seems like another solid option.
Time to try this around cards like aggravated assult, Moraug, combat celebrant, etc.
I love that the werewolf set is giving me so many good vamp pieces for my edgar deck
I think vicious rumors would be good in this deck because for just one black mana it does this Vicious Rumors deals 1 damage to each opponent. Each opponent discards a card, then mills a card. You gain 1 life.
Sooo it looks like Prosper is getting an edgy vampire boyfriend and I can't wait.
Unless this is the Voldaren that Sorin is marrying, rather than Olivia? :P
That would be wild lol like a soap
@@Y0kAiS Olivia wears black to the wedding as a slight, gets drunk and causes a scene like a bad mother-in-law
@@cjw2171 why did I picture this so vividly 😂
@@Y0kAiS If the online fiction for Crimson Vow doesn't read like the script for a telenovela WOTC will have failed us
She's just marrying him for power, I'm sure she doesn't care if he has a boyfriend
Extort would be good as well. Agent of Stromgald is a very interesting include with Neheb the Eternal. Many people sleep on it.
Been brewing this all day.
Neheb is an auto include, gives you the same amount of mana as cards you get to look at.
Also mind crank would be nasty haha
I'm just going to put this in the 99 of my Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck as it just plays real nicely with how the deck runs.
Just wanted to say the same. It's like this deck can just swap it's commander (RLOR vs Florion) if you feel like it. Which is also nice if you want a quick change for little cost.
When I saw this card I immediately thought of Rakdos, Lord of Riots. Slips right into that 99.
So good with extus
Seize the day sounds pretty good with this
How about some magical christmas land, where you get to activate heartless hidetsugo and then double the trigger with strionic resonator, to dig through a total of 120 cards?
Plague spitter, sanctum of fangs, triskadeckaphobia. Basically transfer things from my belbe deck
Well this is going in my Rakdos lord of riots deck. Dig 10 cards deep each turn
It's so damn refreshing to see a commander on black that doesn't have the same generic death trigger crap we've all seen a million times.
The video title is what everyone says when they meet my Florian deck for the first time lol
This card seem amazing. The rakdos equivalent of "Belbe, Corrupted Observer".
Don't forget Awaken the blood avatar deck. With just one token you get to look at 3 cards per opponent at the least
Surprised that you mentioned Direfleet but not Scourge of the Skyclaves. For 2 more mana, you can halve everyone's life totals, which can be like 50 life total, with the bonus of being beefy if you're all under 20 life.
This is definitely an extra combat strategy commander. Just stick a Sword of feast and famine and keep digging for more combat steps
More combat steps don't give you more main phases most of the time, so be careful.
@@moonlight2870 that's when reading the card would certainly help
Looking forward for him to cover Dennick
When they say you can "play" the card, does that include discarding it for Tormenting Voice? If so, the value combo with Prosper, Tome Bound, Florian, Tormenting Voice, and a madness card. Would a madness card get a double trigger off of prosper? Oh man the spice!
You can only discard from your hand, so no.
The card isn't in your hand, so no discarding possible
Very similar to my Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck
Isn't there a creature lets you play cards from the bottom of your library? I think if you stack it correctly with this commander that could double your access to a needed spell
I don't think there is, but also this guy puts on the bottom in a random order, so unless you deal 2 damage to opponents, you won't have the card you want on the bottom.
02:10 Timestamp to where the video starts.
I’ve been wanting to make my Edgar markov deck but I’ll wait until the vampire set comes out...just to be safe lol
Loyal Subordinate is fire with this. Digs down 9 just for sitting there
Immediately in any prosper deck
Gary and Conjurer's Closet.
A twisted 'robber of the rich' nice
This card would become REALLY fun, if you could exile X cards with it
Commune with Lava says hello
as i look though the top cards and see wound reflection . hello wound reflection my old friend.
My mind went to extra combats
Swing, dig for an extra combat spell, swing again!
Not sure if I'm forgetting something about magic or what, but if opponents lose life before he enters, does he still get the trigger?
Ex. Opponents lose 3 each, Florian enters, combat, post combat.
Havoc festival would go hard in this
Auto Include in a Rakdos, Lord of Riots pinger deck!
12:47. My lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.10 for my Modern Masters 2015 printing.
Interesting, I was just going to toss him in my Edgar Markov deck and drain people with Blood Artist and whatever Vampire tokens weren't lost in combat. xD
What about Phyroemia, Pestilence, Psychosis Crawler, Loyal Subordinate eccccccc
Sword of Feast and Famine!!!
Will this be a precon deck or a individual card :o
My Only Question Is Do Extra Combats Work?
Gloriana The Fool
Perfection
Still hoping you do a video on Lysa the Forgotten archangel
do u have a decklist for this ? ?? ?
Oooooh Prosper love!!
Just gonna pop this guy in my burn deck
Is your role model for narration Howard Cosell? You sound like a young Cosell, which makes me a super old commenter.
So, roughly, scry 1 or more & draw one.
Except it's exiled, so you can't have it discarded. Your opponent will know what it is, but still.
Finally some rakdos card draw, red needs more by far and even white has gotten more consistent draw than red imo.
I agree. I'm still not a fan of impulse draw. A part of me really wants the casting window to be until the end of your next turn. But at least this guy comes out early and Rakdos has all the ways to cause life loss.
Would this be a good one in edgar?
I know he is going in my Edgar deck since there are plenty of pings and creatures to let you turor at least a little each turn.
Heartless Hidetsugu
Dargon’s Approach, babeyyyyyyyy 🐉
Got to add in spiteful visions. Every time they draw a card they get dealt damage
DRAGONS APPROACH!!!!!
I feel like this card would be good In a prosper deck
I like the name :)
A 3/3 firststryke for 3 is still a good price
AHH yes my old Rakdos Eldrazi spam deck could always use more ways to play its cards faster.
Can I just say I’m quite disappointed with the lack of legendary werewolves in this set about werewolves. This vamp is really cool though
Im seeing an awful lot of vampires in the werewolf set.... we better get another werewolf commander in the vampire set.
Welp. Both my Propser and Piru want this
Maybe even obosh
Help he just recommended obosh lol.
Wait mana burn would be cool with him
As a commander I think he's kinda bland. As a 99 for the forgotten realms commander (forgot his name, the tome bound one) this guy is scary.
Prosper
And yeah, so synergy between them
Everyone send Mitch coffee
Extra combat steps???
Dude, Flame Rift for 2 mana… dig for 12.
Lord of Riots is gonna get vampire
Better get it before price sky rockets 😂
So much for a werewolf set...
Am I the only one that thinks the artwork is a bit of a call back to Edgar Markov?
Goblin game is an auto include in this deck
obosh companion
We just need each opponent to lose 31 life and then we can search our entire library off our first turn should we be able to play our commander lol
Looks like Nekuzar the Mind Razor found a new boyfriend.
Too bad my Dragons' Approach deck is jeskai.
