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, Embalmed Ascendant 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 graveyard crawler into an unstoppable engine of life and death, entirely fueled by Edgar Markov's *Eminence* ability providing a steady stream of backup Vampire fodder whenever you cast a spell. The core of the combo relies on Warren Soultrader turning those sacrificial offerings into Treasures and life, which in turn triggers Embalmed Ascendant's max speed ability to drain your opponents and gain you life. That vital life gain satisfies Oathsworn Vampire's condition to let you continuously recast it from your graveyard, perpetuating the cycle to drain the table dry.
