Where it came from
Edgar Markov was released in 2017 as the primary commander for the Vampiric Bloodlust deck in the Commander 2017 set, which was the first product series themed around tribal synergies. As the progenitor of the vampire line in Magic: The Gathering lore, the character had been referenced in flavor text for years before finally receiving a dedicated card, fulfilling a long-standing request from the player base to represent the vampire patriarch of the Innistrad plane.
The oversized card format was produced as a premium collectible for the Commander 2017 release, intended primarily for players who preferred a more prominent display for their general in the Command Zone during gameplay. The card art was illustrated by Cynthia Sheppard, who utilized a regal and menacing aesthetic to emphasize Markov's status as an ancient aristocratic vampire. Upon release, the card was widely received as a powerful competitive staple, quickly becoming one of the most iconic commanders in the history of the format.
