I know there have been a lot of new Edgar Markov builds. The goal of my build is to be an aggro list that has disruptions which stops my opponents from comboing off. Because I run cards like rest in peace and stony silence I don't run any artifacts that have activated abilities or any cards that abuse the graveyard. Anyway, this is my list:
I always have some concern as to build in such a way as to make stony silence work. There is the question of how many artifacts you otherwise would run in your list if not for the fact that you are pushing this one card. If you are going to run Stony Silence I would encourage you to also include Null Rod at least for the consistency of having another copy though.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Thanks for the advice! I finally managed to pick up a Null Rod and am trying to run a low curve build with disruption that prevents my opponents from combining off. This is my updated list:
Damping Matrix might also work as another thought. It will still stop things like Basalt Monolith from going off as they can't untap it.
Diabolic Tutor has always felt really heavy for what it does. Diabolic Intent would be a nice upgrade in my mind given we have a lot of cheap extra tokens to work with. It just got a reprint in battlebond so the prices are fairly good right now. I could also see Minions' Murmurs possibly being another option to shift to as well.
Boros Charm - I just thought I would mention that several of us have shifted to Scapegoat instead given the less mana cost and the ability to reuse some ETB based vamps with Scapegoat. Boros Charm can also be fairly narrow in what wraths its useful against in that a lot of wraths can get past it.

Thanks for the advice. I’m not sure if I want to use damping Matrix because it shuts off
. I also feel like getting to play a stony silence or null rod on turn 2 can slow down opponents more than playing damping matrix on turn 3.
Good call on diabolic intent. I ordered one.
I definitely want to try out scapegoat, but I feel like in a way Boros Charm can be more flexible. It can protect my artifacts and enchantments from a Bane of progress, and other cards that destroy artifacts and enchantments. It can give double strike to a lifelinker if I’m low on life. The 4 damage can be used for lethal or killing a planeswalker.

And 2 more vampires. It’s a way to keep the deck aggressive while disrupting my opponents, and I have a lot of tutors and draws to find these cards if I need them. If I don’t, relic is a cantrip and Kataki is a 2/1.
