How it works

  1. Cast Oathsworn Vampire either from your hand or graveyard by paying 1B mana.
  2. Edgar triggers, creating a 1/1 Vampire creature token.
  3. Activate Warren Soultrader by paying 1 life and sacrificing Oathsworn Vampire.
  4. When Oathsworn Vampire dies, Relic Vial triggers, causing each opponent to lose 1 life and you to gain 1 life.
  5. Resolve the Warren Soultrader ability, creating a Treasure token.
  6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 once, sacrificing the Vampire token instead.
  7. Activate two Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 1B mana.
  8. Repeat.

This clever loop turns a modest vampire into an unstoppable engine by leveraging life gain to repeatedly recur him from the graveyard. Warren Soultrader provides the vital sacrifice outlet to turn your creatures into mana and Treasures while fuelling Relic Vial, which sits passively draining your opponents and securing the crucial life gain you need. That exact life gain enables Oathsworn Vampire to return to the battlefield directly from your graveyard, while Edgar Markov chips in free Vampire tokens through eminence to fuel extra sacrifices.
