Interesting that the curses still give you some benefit if you target yourself with them. Curse yourself with the green one and untap your dudes if you get attacked. Or curse yourself with the white curse and sit back behind a Righteous Aura, which amuses me but is not as exciting as your Teferi's Protection ideas.
Nice to finally see Edgar's card. His Vampire token should have had Lifelink IMO, but he's cool.
My thoughts exactly. Only two more words! Vampire tokens used to have either Lifelink if they were 1/1 or Flying if they were 2/2. I understand that creating 2/2Flyers would have been overpowered... But at least Lifelink should have been enough.
Edgar would be good if most vampires weren't 4cmc+ or limited crap.
Vampires should have been a midrange deck, not the dumb aggro. I expected the red deck to be ***** like always, but I expected that to be Dragons, not Vampires.
That's it, you are going to have 3 or 4 1/1 Vampires by turn 6 in EDH, when you summon Edgar Markov and attack. Maybe it also needed "Whenever Edgar Markov attacks of blocks..."
I want to know who the guy in the Curse cycle is. He is so screwed lmao He's basically me in the MTG multiverse - no matter where you go or what you do, you gonna get the worst
I declare that it is mandatory to wave your hand in front of your face and say "You can't see me" whenever you successfully resolve Teferi's Protection.
Oh wow! Edgar Markov is a pretty amazing commander for a casual vampire players. He seems exceptional for wide vampire armies, and theirs no need to cast him. He is a tad on the expensive side. Wish he was like or cheaper though. All in all, solid fellow. 10/10 would play! I am amazed no one is talking about him...
He is kinda dull, The abilities are nothing we haven't seen recently really.
Minor off-topic nitpicking here, but it annoys me that they've several times finally made cards for popular/well-known/important characters, only to slap said cards into Commander decks which means they can NEVER be printed in normal set (like Core Set). Before Edgar here, we have Ludevic (and Ludevic is also pure suck)
Also, flavor-wise, disappointed to see a Edgar being part-white. His relatively-more-noble grandson already has little reason to be white, why he? At least gameplay-wise he's playable.
Curse Of Bounty looks potentially bonkers out of the five (for something that costs a measly 2 mana, that is), but I dunno about you guys.
And Teferi's Protection is everything Eerie Interlude and its older geezer Ghostway would really have wanted to be.

While cards that have commander specific mechanics on them like Eminence or Partner are definitely not going to ever see print in standard, core set or otherwise, cards/characters showing up in Commander precons doesn't in itself preclude ever appearing in a Standard legal set: take Scavenging Ooze or Hornet Queen - those were both printed in the first set of Commander decks and later made their way into standard via core sets. On the character side of things, Ghoulcaller Gisa and Stitcher Geralf being printed in C14 certainly didn't stop Gisa and Geralf from showing up later in Eldritch Moon; the Commander specific versions certainly won't get reprinted into standard but we can have multiple versions of characters, so a Ludevic that doesn't suck can still happen (and probably will next time they visit Innistrad).
I still like Ghostway and Eerie Interlude for decks because you get the ETBs. I think in modern EDH they aren't used as protection but are as used as abuse. Teferi's Protection is better at protecting (and breaks unearth!!), but these othercards still have a home in my Ephara deck.

I understand your counterargument, but at the same time, you do realize that for the Cecani siblings, even if EMN never printed Gisa and Geralf, it would've been entirely, completely possible to just being their first versions verbatim to other sets, right? You can't reprint Edgar Markov here verbatim, among other such legendaries.
But yeah, I know. It's just that... well... Among other things, I'm annoyed that these Commander-only legendaries have names that define who they are. What I mean is if they had printed Edgar Markov here as, for example, Edgar, Innistrad's Patriarch instead, then they could have printed another card named Edgar Markov which can be printed absolutely in any set. Compare with many the original planeswalkers as well: Except for some, such as Nissa Revane, the cards that carry their normal, ordinary, title-less names are the kind of cards that can show up any time.
They really had to. If it just said each opponent attacking that player does the same, then each opponent would just untap your permanents again.

I want to know too!
Hahaha.
I also looked twice at the Mana Cost to check if it would wor with the Isochron Scepter
I will deffinitely say it!
Best description of Edgar Markov ever!

Looks like teferi's protection can rescue tokens now.
Tokens can phase out without dying.
