Yes, Vampire Commander decks can be competitive, especially those led by Edgar Markov or Anje Falkenrath
Tidal Force has deceptively many modes: it can give your best creatures pseudo-vigilance, help you leave mana up for your opponents turns, keep those opponents off offense or defense, and even go into full griefer mode by tapping karoo lands on upkeeps
Key ramp pieces: - **Sol Ring** - **Thran Dynamo** - **Everflowing Chalice** - **Forsaken Monument** (boosts all colorless mana!) - **Urza's Mine / Tower / Power Plant** (the Tron lands) - **Shrine of the Forsaken Gods** With Karn, Legacy Reforged in play, things escalate quickly
This version of the deck still relies on challenging with Simba, Lost Prince or with Scar, Vengeful Lion in play to generate card draw, but Clarabelle, Contented Wallflower is a low-cost character that replaces itself, which will help you keep more tools in your hand and threats on the board
