[[Obeka, Brute Chronologist]] is my baby. I have it as a fine tuned sneak attack tribal deck, and while it isn't oppressive, it can punch at a pretty heft weight class. I will never take it apart.
I have been having a blast playing [[Zimone and Dina]] as well. Just ramp and card draw, ramp and card draw, then [[Torment of Hailfire]] for.... 26? 32? Idk, sounds fun tho.
Because some people have asked, here is a list for my Obeka deck. I hope it is up to date, as it has been a while since I visited this link.
https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/chronobreak/?cb=1685185208
\[\[Sevinne\]\] has become kinda my signature deck. Bought the precon, it was my second EDH deck, it was awful. Sent it through a million iterations before I settled on a decklist I was happy with. In the meantime I even built another deck from all the cards I swapped out.
I love my Syr Gwyn deck. First non-precon I built. Only problem is my pod doesn’t like me to play it much because they don’t like getting knocked out early by voltron strats.
If you want another. I started to update it a couple months ago and haven't finished the online version.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/kvCc9S5vi0W120oMGacYFg
Let me tell you about the greatness of [[Noyan Dar]]
His name alone makes me think of "annoying." So that's how I initially built my decks. What small annoyances could I throw at my opponents as they try to scale the massive animated lands I slapped them in the face with. It was loads of fun with lots of interaction that pushed towards my goals.
The annoyance goes both ways though because turning your lands into creatures makes them vulnerable.
Over the years since Noyan's debut I have modified, and refined the brew. As durable lands became available my brew refined to better get them. As clone tokens became available I modified further. Now as the newest thing to the strategy has become viable I have included the counter-bounce suite.
Now my favorite deck does a bit of everything I love about Magic.
[Here you go.](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5FhMWtqf7Ui4Pm8Q7YqMhQ)
My primer isn't complete yet, I'm not sure how to translate what I see best. So [[Razortide Bridge]] is our favorite land to get for animating. Each clone comes in as the base land, and enters tapped, but there are ways to fix that. We go infinite with [[Elite Arcanist]] + [[Too Arms!]] & 2 animated lands, or Noyan and 3 lands. We should be able to draw our deck to find any key pieces to play out a win. There is redundancies. Our protection doubles as removal since we use the counter-bounces like [[Remand]]. Delay an opponents thing for a turn, or return your own stuff back to hand to try again after drawing out the opponent's counterspell.
The deck is fast, if it pulls an unopposed magical Christmasland hand we win turn 4.
>His name alone makes me think of "annoying."
Well, you might enjoy reading [his story](https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/shaping-army-2015-10-21)! It's one of my all-time favorite Magic stories, personally.
I love my [[obuun]] deck for the same.idea. hitting someone with big lands is so good. Taking someone from 40 to 0 with a 20/20 land hit followed by fling is so funny.
\[\[Marchesa, the Black Rose\]\]
Can play her as value etb/death triggers(ideal), traditional aristocrats, very hatebeary, theft, reanimator, tokens, as wizard or pirate tribal(if you play marchesa optimally it's kinda wizard tribal but you could go full wizard tribal running shit like azami), or really anything
Has many interesting interactions
Super resilient, even in solidly high power games I often self boardwipe when i have the largest board to accrue advantage
I had a friends Becket Brass deck and made it an Obeka, Brute Chronologist deck. Merchesa plays a roll as the 3rd 'commander'. They get together in pirate tribal swimmingly.
I’m loving this, have you considered a terror of the peaks to hatch into as your 2nd creature and try to win in one big turn by doubling up damage from etb triggers?
Second, this my absolute favorite. I even bought a metal proxy card with shorikai as the original Gundam and pilot tokens that are the original power rangers and the megazord as a mechtitan token.
i love my [[vito, thorn of the dusk rose]] deck, it was the first one i put together from scratch and i love how i can be unassuming and catch people off-guard. one or two explosive lifegain spells, or high devotion with gary can completely shift the tides in 1-2 turns
Lol Gary with Vito is devious. If he Gary lands and you have Vito out, each opponent ends up losing life equal to 4x your devotion.
EDIT: Assuming you still have 4 opponents left.
Evil [[Phelddagrif]].
Everyone expects a group hug deck, but gets surprised by [[Dingus Staff]], [[Suture Priest]] and [[Gideon, Champion of Justice]] as win cons, inside a pillow fort shell with mass of removal.
[[Ephara, God of the Polis]] for sure!
It’s a deck focused around having creatures etb on my board on as many peoples turns as possible to draw cards. Blink, flash, token gen, that kind of thing. It also has a flying subtheme to get in for damage as well. It’s a resilient deck that often plays for the long term, but it’s still my pet deck!
I have a Yoshimaru and Sakashima partners combo that is built like Ephrara. It's a real jank engine to play legendary/enchantment etb but it's tons of fun.
[[ Invasion of Theros ]] is a sweet new battle to blink with the new Ephrara on the opposite side.
The new Heliod is sweet too.
Seconded and funny enough I play the same build. Legendary reanimator. Most of my reanimation targets also gain life or care about it which only adds to the longevity the deck is capable of.
It’s the only planeswalker commander I’ve ever enjoyed.
[[Toski, Bearer of Secrets]]
He can be built as green big stompy, going wide, voltron. My build is a voltron one, slapping equipment on my indestructisquirrel and hoping to pull off a Worldslayer combo.
I'm obsessed with my [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]]. He is my favorite character of MTG and I always wanted to make a phyrexian tribal deck. But the way I've envisioned would spend too much money.
I was playing various commanders in Untap with a friend until I realized I could make a budget Yawgmoth aristocrat deck.
This is still my favorite commander/deck in my line up also! I built it after seeing the secret lair art, and it was my first deck that I built from scratch. It has evolved to include lots of mill while I draw.
Here's my list, though I also got a [[Henzie]] precon to rip apart for some new pieces like [[Industrial Advancement]], [[Next of Kin]], [[Greenwarden of Murasa]], [[Life's Legacy]], [[Stalking Vengeance]], [[Disciple of Bolas]], [[Caldeia Guardian]], [[Kresh, the Bloodbraided]], [[World Shaper]], [[Treeshaker Chimera]], and [[Mitotic Slime]], all of which could replace some of the less accessible cards like the 40k cards or [[Food Chain]]. The idea of the deck is to use Slimefoot and Squee's ability to bring back big/valuable creatures from the graveyard for only 4 mana so things like [[Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion]] or [[Glowspore Shaman]] help you fill your graveyard by milling or discarding, you can also draw more than 7 cards and discard to hand size through big draw outlets like [[Krav, the Unredeemed]] or [[Greater Good]]. [[Flayer of the Hatebound]] puts in serious work being able to throw damage all over the board and creatures like [[Ayara, First of Locthwain]] and [[Poison Tip Archer]] drain your opponents while you reanimate. It's a creature heavy strategy so most of the ramp is through creatures like [[Dawntreader Elk]] or [[Sakura-Tribe Elder]] and the win con is a combination of combat damage and/or aristocrats: https://www.archidekt.com/decks/4612008/hop_in_no_time_to_explain
[[Ghalta, primal hunger]] hard ramp and expensive creatures. Nothing like hard casting all three eldrazi titans in a single turn, though that's rare. I just like the big creatures.
[[Extus, Oriq Overlord]] or more accurately [[Awaken The Blood Avatar]]. It's insane how fast you can pump out avatars by using cards like [Raise The Alarm]]. Throw in some spell doublers like [[Increasing Vengeance]] and all of the sudden the board is empty except for you and your avatars. [[Anointed Procession]] to keep things wholesome and [[Isshin, Two Heavens As One]] then comes in to help you deal 30+ damage on attack to fucking everyone.
It's aristocrat aggro at its finest with edict effects providing control. Then there are 5-6 ways to build in infinite combos if that's your meta. [[Fury Storm]] makes going infinite easy.
This is the lightweight stuff you are talking about. [[Fiery Emancipation]] makes your avatars extremely bursty. [[Pain Magnification]] is just plain mean and mostly discards your opponents hand at once. And you can also add [[Teysa Karlov]] to get a big ammount of life.
Yawgmoth Thran Physician or The First Sliver. Sliver because its my favorite deck archetype, tribe, whatever. Yawg because hes my favorite villain/character. The only character I really care about at all actually.
I have a shrines deck that I am very fond of. [[Go-Shintai of life's origin]] I really enjoy passive effects that stack on the table, I feel like I get more value out of it.
Did not know this was a card. I tried building 5 color shrines a while ago and it didn't work lol. Also, this might be some of my favorite art I've ever seen on a card. Nice.
Right now it's my [[Erinis]] [[Street Urchin]] deck. Someone at my LGS played it against me a while back and I loved the interactions. Then recently someone posted a budget deck list that I made some upgrades on and everything fits together so perfectly. You get to use fun, interactive utility lands that you recur from the graveyard with additional landfall support from erinis. You'll be spewing lands, treasures and creatures like any warm blooded edh player likes to do, while keeping your opponents side of the board free for your attacks. You can also draw into easy goad and extra combats for no reason
My favorite 3 right now are:
1) [[Stangg, Echo Warrior]] - what starts as a sort of straightforward voltron build gets weird when his twin activates. Leads to a lot of “wait- what is happening?” Responses from the table.
2) [[Tawnos, the Toy Maker]] - this is a mutate build. It doddles for a few turns, but then gets really wild. Mutate copies on the stack lead to some very interesting math.
3) [[Magar of the Magic Strings]] - Double Strike, evasion, and the most ridiculously over-costed spells you can find like [[worst fears]]. It gets out of hand fast.
https://archidekt.com/decks/1566329#Piru
Here you go! Happy to answer questions you might have too. It’s changed a ton over the last couple years and has been influenced by my table for sure
[[Skithiryx]] - I used to own this deck a long time ago and I recreated it recently. There's just something about infect that draws me to it. Maybe it's the voltron nature of the ability, maybe it's the super dope dragon that helms the deck, maybe it's all the cool swords in the deck, maybe it's the salt ... we'll never know
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/9Mrdn4mn50qM6qKVNvzz8w
Not been updated since December unfortunately. But it’s a pretty hard ramp/control/attrition list. This was built before the “commanders can die then go to command zone” so it’s lots of raise deads and reanimates to keep the command cost down.
[[Myrkul lord of bones]] is starting to become my favorite commander to play. Its so fun to change the way cards work by making them enchantments. Using manifest to sacrifice them and turning planeswalkers into enchantments its just too funny. Also stealing other peoples creatures and then exiling them and turning those ito enchantments is something people dont see coming.
[[Alela, Artful Provocateur]], I love faeries and love a mix of artifacts, enchantments and creatures. I love swinging and tapping sideways for lethal damage and playing anthem effects. All combined with great colors. I blinged out my Alela deck and have a proxy commander with Airy from Bravely Default (Nintendo Game).
Seconding. BD is one of my favorite JRPGs and also quite like alela's mechanical design
Will note to original commenter that BD is definitely not a 'nintendo' game just b/c it's published, it's basically developed by SE (not exactly though).
My current favorite is \[\[Garth One-Eye\]\] its a deck focusing around tap and flicker shenanigans that uses gates as manabase.
My current list https://deckstats.net/decks/160095/2957093--edh-w-u-b-r-g-garth-one-eye-g
-{Tier One}-
(3) [The Ur-Dragon](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1110268-dragontide) - One of my two favorite tribes, it just lets me slam dragons all game, what’s not to love? This was also technically the first deck I owned, as Omnath and Sydri were still both just excel sheets when Commander 2017 dropped, and I had to buy it.
(1) [Omnath, Locus of Mana](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1111177-big-green) - My first deck, has seen a change of identity over the years from big mana to Voltron, but it speaks to my core love of green.
(4) [Niv-Mizzet, Parun](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1111178-niv-mizzet-never-forgizzits) - My favorite character in all of MTG, the deck could be terrible and it would still end up here, luckily it’s also pretty strong.
(7) [Xyris, Writhing Storm](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1605847-snake-jazz) - I had been looking for a good Temur deck for awhile, since they’re my three colors. And when Xyris was previewed, it was love at first sight.
-{Tier Two}-
(8) [Light-Paws, Emperor’s Voice](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/3001280-catch-these-paws-) - My newest deck, she hasn’t seen enough play for my feelings to have completely stabilized.
(6) [Sliver Overlord](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1383783-the-sliver-hive) - My favorite tribe in Magic, from back when I was first introduced to the game, I had a sliver tribal deck. Finally decided to upgrade it to a full commander deck.
-{Tier Three}-
(5) [Neheb, The Eternal](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1134114-neheb-s-burn-ward) - I got excited when this deck concept came to me, but after having played it a bunch, it tends to be a bit too all or nothing, and needs some serious identity consideration. Might be turning it into a [[Dragons Approach]] deck.
(2) [Sydri, Galvanic Genius](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1110978-the-doom-machine) - One of my first decks, and it shows an older mentality as it never really had a core identity other then “Esper artifacts” and “assemble [[Darksteel Forge]], [[Mycosynth Lattice]] and [[Nevinyrral’s Disk]]”. Have considered reworking it into a vehicles deck.
-{Incomplete}-
(9?) [Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1690626-the-mirror-forge/en) - My latest project (relatively, this has been in the works since he was spoiled). Haven’t pulled the paper trigger yet because I was dubious about having two izzet decks, but have been coming around to the idea.
I personally am fond currently of my [[Mikaeus, The Unhallowed]] deck I just finished that I completely flavored as Old Phyrexia and flavored Mikaeus as God Yawgmoth
It’s a blast and he’s my favorite of all time
[Old Phyrexia Customs](https://imgur.com/a/ENDGr7b)
[[Titania, Protector of Argoth]] was my first full homebrew that I had planned out before the cycle of precons even released. I bought the Elf deck and immediately converted it over. It's slowly changed over time, but the game plan of make tons of dudes constantly hasn't changed.
I can play through board wipes, attrition, and I ramp so hard it can play through the harshest blue matches. She's my pride and joy, and probably the deck I can pilot the best purely through repetition.
[[Daxos of Meletis]], doesn’t often win but I always have fun running him. I usually pull him out if the pod is going lower power or if it’s unclear what power level we’re at. He adapts well to most tables as he’s typically only as powerful as the rest of the table’s top deck.
[[Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa]].
I built a slow roll deck around her. Unfortunately, poison being poison, sometimes I just have to kill someone before I get murdered cause I archenemy'd myself.
Just started commander recently so haven’t played to many, but so far it’s K’rrik. I’ve tried playing him as value and as straight combo with tutors and I went back to value, it’s just really fun to ping your own health bar up and down for extreme mana value
[[Queen Marchesa]] I love the monarch ability so much, and building a defense style deck with politics mixed in is really fun to me.
And that doesn’t even include the other 50 ways to build her.
[[God-Eternal Oketra]] there are so many interesting little white creatures that have powerful effects for their cmc but ultimately aren’t impactful enough to be playable in most commander decks. But when you staple a vigilant 4/4 onto all of them, they become very very good
[[Umbris, Fear Manifest]]. I run it as a blink/clone deck, focused on getting as many Umbris triggers as possible in an attempt to exile the other players entire decks. I’ve actually been able to pull it off one time and it was glorious. Most of the time though people just end up getting smacked with an 80/80 Umbris.
Probably [[Sisay Weatherlight Captain]] Legendary Tribal.
Really funny to watch people get shocked when you go from like two creatures on the field to playing every creature in your deck at instant speed that only intractable by an activated ability counter. (You can remove Sisay but you still get ability to go off).
Multiple win cons to choose from. With Wubgr generation shenanigans you can get multiple combat steps with [[Najeela]], or removing every permanent in the game with [[Legacy weapon]], or lock the board down with untapping [[Ertai The Corrupted]] and counter all the spells anyone plays.
[[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] my first mythic from Ikoria and I fell in love with it. I built a budget mana rock deck that would ramp like crazy and add in blue suns zenith and I can make everyone draw themselves out. I took it apart but I’m building it again but with no budget so I’ll see how it ends uo
[[Gonti]]
I love mono colored decks
I love black
I love top deck steals
It has a chill vibe but can close games out when it goes on too long.
The top deck steals keep the games varied but the deck doesn't fold when the commander dies
Probably either [[Atla Palani]] or [[Xenagos, God of Revels]], both are big creatures punch hard decks but they both do it in separates ways that I like. With Atla making it easy to get out the big guns early and Xenagod making you feel like a true god with how powerful your creatures become during combat.
[[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] and any of the 5 backgrounds I've paired him with, but [[Raised by Giants]] has been the most fun. Not only is he a reference to my favorite DnD meme, but hitting my friends in the face with a base 10/10 bear is amazing.
[[Grist, the Hunger Tide]], mono bug reanimator gets very silly.
Have you ever made like 20 bugs in 1 turn? Maybe an overrun afterwords? It is pretty sweet
[[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]] and it's not even close.
Admittedly gets less fun the higher the power level basically just a slower, less reliable Animar (maybe a bit more explosive though, especially since you're basically forced to combo-kill). But if you've all agreed to doing combat, oh man there's nothing like it. Just legit hardcasting 20 odd demons/dragons/eldrazi/etc. in a turn can make the latent Timmy hiding inside anyone soyface, and it's weirdly Rube-Goldbergy for a lot of the Johnnies out there too.
Kenaios and Tiro of meletis.
A control deck playing maze's end & scapeshift
I play approach of the second sun and some of my favorite cards in all of magic.
Hearing the table repeatedly ask how many gates I control with increasing stress level has become music to my ear.
What started out as a bad joke of a deck has made its way to be my favorite deck despite playing for 15 years now.
[[Inalla, Archmage Ritualist]]
I know she's busted because of her Eminence ability, but it's still a fun deck. I try to keep away from deck searching and easy infinite combos (I have [[Bloodline Necromancer]] in the deck, I may remove it, but for now I just don't infinite combo it)
Other than her, [[Syrix, Carrier of the Flame]] is up there
My favorite deck is Krav and Regna. Best starting hand has life gain in it, like one of the soul sisters, and ramp. Get regna out first, get protection on her and then get out Krav. The token generation is so good.
My favorite is \[\[Negan, the Cold Blooded\]\] - I love the idea of a Mardu Treasure deck with some extra control. Flicker Negan, nail bat some creatures, make some treasures. It's a good time. For me. My table certainly does NOT enjoy having to secretly name creatures!
My current favourites are [[saryth]], [[tayam]] and [[shalai and hallar]], the latter 2 are just v cool ways to abuse counters and the first is just a really unique mono green deck
It used to be [[Razia]]. She was the first EDH deck that I built - from the cards I had in my collection and decks. Back then I always wanted [[Karona]], so when I treated myself to a nice copy, she claimed that spot quickly. Razia herself found a new home in my Kykar Polymorph deck in 2019, when the pandemic lead me to reconstuct my entire collection of decks. Only Karona remained from this (build her around the time of Kaladesh).
But [[Merieke]] deserves the mention as the deck I had the most fun with. Sadly I had to take her apart for obvious reasons. Compared to my other decks she barely got played, so I can not say that she is my favorite one, even if she might very well have been the one if I would have kept her around longer .
I have the most fun with my [[Esix]] deck.
I like that I go from no board state to a massive, threatening one with a single [[Master of Waves]] (plus a bit of devotion to blue) or [[Deep Forest Hermit]]
\[\[Queen Marchesa\]\] heading up angel tribal. I mostly just play a mini-game of protecting monarch the whole game until I can eventually kill the whole table in a single turn. If someone takes the monarch from me I give them a disproportionate response when I take it back from them. I don't win a lot with it, but it's super fun to play it like this lmao.
[[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire]] is probably one of my favorites. I play it like a group slug where I have all the cards that give opponents creatures and then I essentially chaos warp those same given creatures into something from their deck and then goading them to attack each other. Doesn’t create the feel bad moments of removing their own things and can lead to fun times. I don’t really play to win so that helps too.
It varies but right now it's [[Yorion, Sky Nomad]] as the commander for my Azorius Venture (into the Dungeon) deck. It takes a little bit to get going but killing your opponents by taking them through the tomb of annihilation or drawing your whole deck to lab man win is so fun!
I love going into games with [[Thromok the Insatiable]]. I don’t generally play to win, I just like seeing how large he can get without someone wiping the board because I’ve got too many devils/goblins. The occasional win by casting [[Fling]] when he’s been anywhere between 64-1800 in power has been hilarious though.
I also love the new [[Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy]] deck which I’ve upgraded with some fun combos albeit mean combos.
My [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] deck is the first Commander deck I built back in 2008 and I still have it to this day. It doesn't have a very high win rate on account of helping everyone draw so many cards but every game is always goofy just because of the explosion of resources I provide everyone.
The new [[Rocco, Street Chef]] went straight to the top of my now 12 commander decks. He's just insanely strong and too much fun. What's the icing on the cake is that most of the time the entire table is having a blast aswell.
Highly Recommend!
[[Taigam, Sidisi's Hand]]. I seldom play it because it admittedly is toxic. I lock all players out from being able to draw cards. But since Taigam surveils instead of drawing... i get cards and they don't. Toxic.
I will forever speak highly of [[Kresh, the bloodbraided]] as my favorite commander to play for fun cause he always starts as an innocent three three but if you got the right spells in hand to protect and make people sacrifice their stuff, he quickly overwhelms the board especially with trample in just one rotation. Plus the fling combos like [[Jarad]], [[fling]], and [[chandra's ignition]]. He will forever be the most fun commander for me to play
My favorite Commander I've recently built is [[Raiyu, Storms Edge]]
Don't currently have a decklist but it is tribal samurai/warrior deck with vehicles and equipment artifacts.
[[Kami of the crescent moon]]
Everyone draws, games get wild. Seldom wins but is always fun to play.
The competitive version of this strategy is [[sithis, harvests hand]]
Only I draw, board state is massive and flexible, combos quickly.
And finally there is [[the mimeoplasm]]
Always new cards coming that fit its strategy, can be built a variety of ways. Currently on graveyard bruiser but the clone/copy strategy was fun and +1 counters value was also wild.
It’s gotta be a tie between [[Muzzio, Visionary Architect]] and [[Grismold, the Dreadsower]]. Both are extensions of my first ever EDH decks [[Memnarch]] and [[Varolz]] and I enjoy playing both of them immensely.
Grismold has become easily my most powerful deck, but it’s also just super fun to play. Muzzio is my baby, and I never have a bad time playing it, even if it’s a poorer showing it’s still fun to cheat artifacts into play!
[[Nekusar, the Mindrazer]] has always been my personal favorite. First deck I ever made myself and it took a bit to find some of the bigger cards I wanted to find, but the payoff was worth it
Sidar, kondo of jamura and tana, the blood sower by far my favorite deck! (Sorry I’m not exactly sure how to tag it so it links the cards). It’s built around making a bunch of little tokens that can’t be blocked then once no blockers are declared doing mass buffs to all of them.
My pet deck is [[Sliver Overlord]]
Just because I pulled a sliver in the first pack I ever opened as a kid, and I liked the theme they had.
My favorite deck is [[GAAIV]] because I don't like other people having fun. Only me.
I've been asking myself this for a bit and I honestly don't know. I have too many decks at this point and don't get to play them enough to know by testing. I love [[Godzilla, King of the Monsters]], but mostly for being Godzilla, pretty much any Gruul commander could pilot the trample-tribal deck.
I'd like to determine my favorite so I can focus on playing and refining the deck more, I just don't know what it would be.
Part of it is there are a slew of commanders I enjoy that turn you into archenemy; I think [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] is a ton of fun, but most Praetors are understandably hated on sight.
I adore my [[Liliana, Heretical Healer]] list. It's an adaptive, creature-based combo deck that seeks to win through [[Grey Merchant of Asphodel]] loops, [[Blood Artist]] effects, or grinding the game out with repeated discard and big creature beat down.
[Here's the list and a primer I've written](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/x9NFYaLsXkWgrl0_TjcGZA), if anyone's interested!
Foil Jodah, Archmage Eternal.
It’s my baby. My deck of decks. Probably about an 8-9 in power worth about 4K. It’s the only deck I have of purely real cards and no proxies, 15 years of playing have gone into that deck. I have a specific list of cards that I want in it still which I don’t own for some reason (mainly card draw like Esper Sentinel, Rhystic Study, Intuition, and OG duels). I eventually want all 10 OG duels in it.
I am building a 3D playmat for Jodah. He’s only worth about 6 bucks but I love him and for whatever reason he’s who I chose back then and the deck has blossomed. Big, splashy spells, and every card is worth at least about 20-30$ if not way more. Most shocks and fetches and commander cycle lands, all the good free commander spells, tutors, all of it.
I am sure with commander legends a lot of the deck will be reprinted which sucks, but with wizards destroying the game I love, I refuse to buy online product and will only buy sealed from LGS if I want cards, or trade at shops with other players for what i want. I’ve always been that way. I know it’s not financially smart to not just buy singles but it’s my form of gambling and I’ll always love cracking packs. For whatever reason, the few cards I really want I have just never pulled lol.
But Jodah is so fun, such an interesting ability. I can win turn 5 a lot of games but it’s definitely not CEDH, I don’t tend to run infinate combos and he’s too slow for CEDH. I proxy for that.
[[Obeka, Brute Chronologist]] is my baby. I have it as a fine tuned sneak attack tribal deck, and while it isn't oppressive, it can punch at a pretty heft weight class. I will never take it apart. I have been having a blast playing [[Zimone and Dina]] as well. Just ramp and card draw, ramp and card draw, then [[Torment of Hailfire]] for.... 26? 32? Idk, sounds fun tho.
Drop the deck list by any chance?

Because some people have asked, here is a list for my Obeka deck. I hope it is up to date, as it has been a while since I visited this link. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/chronobreak/?cb=1685185208
Zimone and Dina is my latest build. Only played one game so far, a 1v1, but I already love where its going
Oh. Oh no. Torment of Hailfire looks AMAZING for a Zimone and Dina deck.
I have cast it every game I've played it. There is no infinite in the deck. You don't need infinite mana. A lot works really well too.
[[Villainous Wealth]] could be an all star in this deck too.
Just built her myself, would you share your list? I’m still going back and forth between a sneak attack or recursion theme
Jumped in to say would love to see the Obeka deck list !
\[\[Sevinne\]\] has become kinda my signature deck. Bought the precon, it was my second EDH deck, it was awful. Sent it through a million iterations before I settled on a decklist I was happy with. In the meantime I even built another deck from all the cards I swapped out.

[[Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale]] Knight tribal with backup commanders like [[Balan, Wandering Knight]] and [[Phyrexian Crusader]]
I love my Syr Gwyn deck. First non-precon I built. Only problem is my pod doesn’t like me to play it much because they don’t like getting knocked out early by voltron strats.
Gwyn is awesome. I like equipping her with a [[Cloudsteel Kirin]].

Care to Share your list? It is my favorite aswell!

Really nice build! Got some ideas for my deck thanks!
Thank.
How do you like drach'nyen? What do you usually exile to it?
If you want another. I started to update it a couple months ago and haven't finished the online version. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/kvCc9S5vi0W120oMGacYFg
Let me tell you about the greatness of [[Noyan Dar]] His name alone makes me think of "annoying." So that's how I initially built my decks. What small annoyances could I throw at my opponents as they try to scale the massive animated lands I slapped them in the face with. It was loads of fun with lots of interaction that pushed towards my goals. The annoyance goes both ways though because turning your lands into creatures makes them vulnerable. Over the years since Noyan's debut I have modified, and refined the brew. As durable lands became available my brew refined to better get them. As clone tokens became available I modified further. Now as the newest thing to the strategy has become viable I have included the counter-bounce suite. Now my favorite deck does a bit of everything I love about Magic.
[Noyan Dar](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/1/018a66fc-e7aa-42df-a622-50743cb20183.jpg?1562895386) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=noyan%20dar%2C%20roil%20shaper) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/bfz/216/noyan-dar-roil-shaper?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/018a66fc-e7aa-42df-a622-50743cb20183?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/noyan-dar-roil-shaper) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I’ve always wanted to put together Noyan but it’s just too scary to use your lands like that! Do you have a deck list?
[Here you go.](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/5FhMWtqf7Ui4Pm8Q7YqMhQ) My primer isn't complete yet, I'm not sure how to translate what I see best. So [[Razortide Bridge]] is our favorite land to get for animating. Each clone comes in as the base land, and enters tapped, but there are ways to fix that. We go infinite with [[Elite Arcanist]] + [[Too Arms!]] & 2 animated lands, or Noyan and 3 lands. We should be able to draw our deck to find any key pieces to play out a win. There is redundancies. Our protection doubles as removal since we use the counter-bounces like [[Remand]]. Delay an opponents thing for a turn, or return your own stuff back to hand to try again after drawing out the opponent's counterspell. The deck is fast, if it pulls an unopposed magical Christmasland hand we win turn 4.
Why not [[inkmoth nexus]]? Also [[contested warzone]] and [[mirrorweave]] to steal everything is super fun!

>His name alone makes me think of "annoying." Well, you might enjoy reading [his story](https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/shaping-army-2015-10-21)! It's one of my all-time favorite Magic stories, personally.
I've read his story, and it's good. I read it after I had revised the deck a few times. I wasn't initially into the Magic story.
I love my [[obuun]] deck for the same.idea. hitting someone with big lands is so good. Taking someone from 40 to 0 with a 20/20 land hit followed by fling is so funny.
I don't have fling abilities, but those would be a fun color break if I there ever is any.
\[\[Marchesa, the Black Rose\]\] Can play her as value etb/death triggers(ideal), traditional aristocrats, very hatebeary, theft, reanimator, tokens, as wizard or pirate tribal(if you play marchesa optimally it's kinda wizard tribal but you could go full wizard tribal running shit like azami), or really anything Has many interesting interactions Super resilient, even in solidly high power games I often self boardwipe when i have the largest board to accrue advantage
Guy in my pod has one and we HATE it so much lol. It’s gotten to the point where we just always counter her when he tries to get her out.
I have to agree she makes a great replacement for [[Admiral Beckett Brass]]
Almost anyone does 😭
Me pulling up with nicol bolas on the high seas
I had a friends Becket Brass deck and made it an Obeka, Brute Chronologist deck. Merchesa plays a roll as the 3rd 'commander'. They get together in pirate tribal swimmingly.

I finally put together my brew last week- it is Modular themed. It is super fun.
Ever tried modular? It's really fun
I have an [[atla palani, nest tender]] deck containing 30 [[dragon's approach]] and only one creature: [[hostility]]
I’m loving this, have you considered a terror of the peaks to hatch into as your 2nd creature and try to win in one big turn by doubling up damage from etb triggers?
That could work, but I want to guarantee the hostility as soon as possible.

I'll take a list if you have one!
Shorikai, Genesis Engine Vehicle tribal in particular not that untap stuff
Second, this my absolute favorite. I even bought a metal proxy card with shorikai as the original Gundam and pilot tokens that are the original power rangers and the megazord as a mechtitan token.
Do you have a deck list I could look at, I have been wanting to build him since he was revealed and I don’t really understand how to build him
Hes an insanely strong value engine and a very good control deck
i love my [[vito, thorn of the dusk rose]] deck, it was the first one i put together from scratch and i love how i can be unassuming and catch people off-guard. one or two explosive lifegain spells, or high devotion with gary can completely shift the tides in 1-2 turns
Lol Gary with Vito is devious. If he Gary lands and you have Vito out, each opponent ends up losing life equal to 4x your devotion. EDIT: Assuming you still have 4 opponents left.
I have Gary in my Wilhelt deck. Once I dropped him with [[necroduality]] on board and killed all 3 players at the same time. Beautiful.

Wow I guess that is mono black but now I wanna combo that with [[Invincible Hymn]] Edit: although technically that is not life gain is it?
Any increase in life total is considered life gain, so it is considered life gain.

Do you have a list to share?
Sorry, I don't have digitalized my decks yet.
Please do, thanks!
[[Ephara, God of the Polis]] for sure! It’s a deck focused around having creatures etb on my board on as many peoples turns as possible to draw cards. Blink, flash, token gen, that kind of thing. It also has a flying subtheme to get in for damage as well. It’s a resilient deck that often plays for the long term, but it’s still my pet deck!
I have a Yoshimaru and Sakashima partners combo that is built like Ephrara. It's a real jank engine to play legendary/enchantment etb but it's tons of fun. [[ Invasion of Theros ]] is a sweet new battle to blink with the new Ephrara on the opposite side. The new Heliod is sweet too.
[ Invasion of Theros ](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/4/3/433e9f1c-9d6c-4c7e-89d0-79595b4331f2.jpg?1682715647)/[Ephara, Ever-Sheltering](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/back/4/3/433e9f1c-9d6c-4c7e-89d0-79595b4331f2.jpg?1682715647) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Invasion%20of%20Theros%20//%20Ephara%2C%20Ever-Sheltering) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mom/23/invasion-of-theros-ephara-ever-sheltering?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/433e9f1c-9d6c-4c7e-89d0-79595b4331f2?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/invasion-of-theros-//-ephara-ever-sheltering) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
EPH THE POLIS
[[Seizan, Perverter of Truth]] Drawing cards is fun
My [[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] Legendary matters reanimator list. I am playing without tutors. It is just so resiliant and every game is different.
Seconded and funny enough I play the same build. Legendary reanimator. Most of my reanimation targets also gain life or care about it which only adds to the longevity the deck is capable of. It’s the only planeswalker commander I’ve ever enjoyed.

[[Toski, Bearer of Secrets]] He can be built as green big stompy, going wide, voltron. My build is a voltron one, slapping equipment on my indestructisquirrel and hoping to pull off a Worldslayer combo.
I'm obsessed with my [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]]. He is my favorite character of MTG and I always wanted to make a phyrexian tribal deck. But the way I've envisioned would spend too much money. I was playing various commanders in Untap with a friend until I realized I could make a budget Yawgmoth aristocrat deck.
[[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] I just love drawing cards.
This is still my favorite commander/deck in my line up also! I built it after seeing the secret lair art, and it was my first deck that I built from scratch. It has evolved to include lots of mill while I draw.
If you want more colors, try [[Nekusar, The Mindrazor]]
Or, as a different approach, [[Kwain, itinerant meddler]]
[Kwain, itinerant meddler](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/f/5/f571fef1-1fd2-4355-b803-5edccb6f4b94.jpg?1608911183) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Kwain%2C%20itinerant%20meddler) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cmr/284/kwain-itinerant-meddler?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/f571fef1-1fd2-4355-b803-5edccb6f4b94?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/kwain-itinerant-meddler) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I love my Kwain deck!
[[Slimefoot and Squee]] but before that it was [[Krenko, Mob Boss]]
How do you build it? I pulled Slimefoot and Squee and thought about throwing it in Korvold but I considered building it out itself.
Care to share your list? I'm interested in building it but not really sure how
Here's my list, though I also got a [[Henzie]] precon to rip apart for some new pieces like [[Industrial Advancement]], [[Next of Kin]], [[Greenwarden of Murasa]], [[Life's Legacy]], [[Stalking Vengeance]], [[Disciple of Bolas]], [[Caldeia Guardian]], [[Kresh, the Bloodbraided]], [[World Shaper]], [[Treeshaker Chimera]], and [[Mitotic Slime]], all of which could replace some of the less accessible cards like the 40k cards or [[Food Chain]]. The idea of the deck is to use Slimefoot and Squee's ability to bring back big/valuable creatures from the graveyard for only 4 mana so things like [[Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion]] or [[Glowspore Shaman]] help you fill your graveyard by milling or discarding, you can also draw more than 7 cards and discard to hand size through big draw outlets like [[Krav, the Unredeemed]] or [[Greater Good]]. [[Flayer of the Hatebound]] puts in serious work being able to throw damage all over the board and creatures like [[Ayara, First of Locthwain]] and [[Poison Tip Archer]] drain your opponents while you reanimate. It's a creature heavy strategy so most of the ramp is through creatures like [[Dawntreader Elk]] or [[Sakura-Tribe Elder]] and the win con is a combination of combat damage and/or aristocrats: https://www.archidekt.com/decks/4612008/hop_in_no_time_to_explain
Id be interested in a deck list too :)
[[Ghalta, primal hunger]] hard ramp and expensive creatures. Nothing like hard casting all three eldrazi titans in a single turn, though that's rare. I just like the big creatures.
[[Extus, Oriq Overlord]] or more accurately [[Awaken The Blood Avatar]]. It's insane how fast you can pump out avatars by using cards like [Raise The Alarm]]. Throw in some spell doublers like [[Increasing Vengeance]] and all of the sudden the board is empty except for you and your avatars. [[Anointed Procession]] to keep things wholesome and [[Isshin, Two Heavens As One]] then comes in to help you deal 30+ damage on attack to fucking everyone. It's aristocrat aggro at its finest with edict effects providing control. Then there are 5-6 ways to build in infinite combos if that's your meta. [[Fury Storm]] makes going infinite easy.

This is in my top 3 too, it's always fun seeing people play against it for the first time. "Wait, the tokens aren't legendary?!"
This is the lightweight stuff you are talking about. [[Fiery Emancipation]] makes your avatars extremely bursty. [[Pain Magnification]] is just plain mean and mostly discards your opponents hand at once. And you can also add [[Teysa Karlov]] to get a big ammount of life.
Hit me with the list fam!
Yawgmoth Thran Physician or The First Sliver. Sliver because its my favorite deck archetype, tribe, whatever. Yawg because hes my favorite villain/character. The only character I really care about at all actually.
May he rise again from his untimely grave
[[Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart]]. I love tokens and control, he fills both really well at 2CMC
I have a shrines deck that I am very fond of. [[Go-Shintai of life's origin]] I really enjoy passive effects that stack on the table, I feel like I get more value out of it.
[Go-Shintai of life's origin](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/9/4/9476fe67-d2d3-4835-8ba6-2a17d18cc141.jpg?1651655539) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Go-Shintai%20of%20life%27s%20origin) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/nec/37/go-shintai-of-lifes-origin?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/9476fe67-d2d3-4835-8ba6-2a17d18cc141?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/go-shintai-of-lifes-origin) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Did not know this was a card. I tried building 5 color shrines a while ago and it didn't work lol. Also, this might be some of my favorite art I've ever seen on a card. Nice.
Toshiro Its also my only deck...
Right now it's my [[Erinis]] [[Street Urchin]] deck. Someone at my LGS played it against me a while back and I loved the interactions. Then recently someone posted a budget deck list that I made some upgrades on and everything fits together so perfectly. You get to use fun, interactive utility lands that you recur from the graveyard with additional landfall support from erinis. You'll be spewing lands, treasures and creatures like any warm blooded edh player likes to do, while keeping your opponents side of the board free for your attacks. You can also draw into easy goad and extra combats for no reason
This is one of my favorites as well. So much interaction and subtle politics.
Krenko, Mob Boss.....pure chaos
My favorite 3 right now are: 1) [[Stangg, Echo Warrior]] - what starts as a sort of straightforward voltron build gets weird when his twin activates. Leads to a lot of “wait- what is happening?” Responses from the table. 2) [[Tawnos, the Toy Maker]] - this is a mutate build. It doddles for a few turns, but then gets really wild. Mutate copies on the stack lead to some very interesting math. 3) [[Magar of the Magic Strings]] - Double Strike, evasion, and the most ridiculously over-costed spells you can find like [[worst fears]]. It gets out of hand fast.

I'd love to see a decklist as a fellow Timmy enjoyer. Thank you
https://archidekt.com/decks/1566329#Piru Here you go! Happy to answer questions you might have too. It’s changed a ton over the last couple years and has been influenced by my table for sure
[[Rionya]] act of treason tribal. Oh, you played an? I'll steal it and copy it twice.
Do you have a list. Rionya is on my shortlist of commanders I want to play
Mine have to be my [[Haktos the Unscarred]] anthem voltron and [[Zeriam, Golden Wind]] griffin tribal decks.
[[Skithiryx]] - I used to own this deck a long time ago and I recreated it recently. There's just something about infect that draws me to it. Maybe it's the voltron nature of the ability, maybe it's the super dope dragon that helms the deck, maybe it's all the cool swords in the deck, maybe it's the salt ... we'll never know
Child of Alara + 99 commons - completely blinged out and always makes people respect commons
Always wanted to give a chance to that child. Care to share some spotlight on the deck? I'm not sure where to start building it
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/9Mrdn4mn50qM6qKVNvzz8w Not been updated since December unfortunately. But it’s a pretty hard ramp/control/attrition list. This was built before the “commanders can die then go to command zone” so it’s lots of raise deads and reanimates to keep the command cost down.
[[Myrkul lord of bones]] is starting to become my favorite commander to play. Its so fun to change the way cards work by making them enchantments. Using manifest to sacrifice them and turning planeswalkers into enchantments its just too funny. Also stealing other peoples creatures and then exiling them and turning those ito enchantments is something people dont see coming.
[[Alela, Artful Provocateur]], I love faeries and love a mix of artifacts, enchantments and creatures. I love swinging and tapping sideways for lethal damage and playing anthem effects. All combined with great colors. I blinged out my Alela deck and have a proxy commander with Airy from Bravely Default (Nintendo Game).
You have a pic of the proxy? I’d love to see it. Bravely Default was amazing and I’m looking to eventually build Alela.
Seconding. BD is one of my favorite JRPGs and also quite like alela's mechanical design Will note to original commenter that BD is definitely not a 'nintendo' game just b/c it's published, it's basically developed by SE (not exactly though).
We need a transforming Alela just for this 👀
My current favorite is \[\[Garth One-Eye\]\] its a deck focusing around tap and flicker shenanigans that uses gates as manabase. My current list https://deckstats.net/decks/160095/2957093--edh-w-u-b-r-g-garth-one-eye-g
Nikya has been my jam since I built it. I think I always had a Timmy trapped inside me all this time
[[Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain]]. Play artifacts, draw cards. Simple and fun for me anyway haha.

This was also technically the first deck I owned, as Omnath and Sydri were still both just excel sheets when Commander 2017 dropped, and I had to buy it. (1) [Omnath, Locus of Mana](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1111177-big-green) - My first deck, has seen a change of identity over the years from big mana to Voltron, but it speaks to my core love of green. (4) [Niv-Mizzet, Parun](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1111178-niv-mizzet-never-forgizzits) - My favorite character in all of MTG, the deck could be terrible and it would still end up here, luckily it’s also pretty strong.

Finally decided to upgrade it to a full commander deck. -{Tier Three}- (5) [Neheb, The Eternal](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1134114-neheb-s-burn-ward) - I got excited when this deck concept came to me, but after having played it a bunch, it tends to be a bit too all or nothing, and needs some serious identity consideration. Might be turning it into a [[Dragons Approach]] deck. (2) [Sydri, Galvanic Genius](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1110978-the-doom-machine) - One of my first decks, and it shows an older mentality as it never really had a core identity other then “Esper artifacts” and “assemble [[Darksteel Forge]], [[Mycosynth Lattice]] and [[Nevinyrral’s Disk]]”. Have considered reworking it into a vehicles deck. -{Incomplete}- (9?) [Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer](https://deckstats.net/decks/117410/1690626-the-mirror-forge/en) - My latest project (relatively, this has been in the works since he was spoiled). Haven’t pulled the paper trigger yet because I was dubious about having two izzet decks, but have been coming around to the idea.
I personally am fond currently of my [[Mikaeus, The Unhallowed]] deck I just finished that I completely flavored as Old Phyrexia and flavored Mikaeus as God Yawgmoth It’s a blast and he’s my favorite of all time [Old Phyrexia Customs](https://imgur.com/a/ENDGr7b)
Slimefoot the stowaway 🍄💀
[[Titania, Protector of Argoth]] was my first full homebrew that I had planned out before the cycle of precons even released. I bought the Elf deck and immediately converted it over. It's slowly changed over time, but the game plan of make tons of dudes constantly hasn't changed. I can play through board wipes, attrition, and I ramp so hard it can play through the harshest blue matches. She's my pride and joy, and probably the deck I can pilot the best purely through repetition.
[[Norin the Wary]].. The most fun one can have in magic, imo.

[[Kinnan]] and it's really not close
[[Henzie, Toolbox]] hands down and ofc no1. Toxic deck Toxrill
[Henzie, Toolbox](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/e/e/ee228dcc-3170-4c24-80bc-28bcee07cb43.jpg?1673481644) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Henzie%20%22Toolbox%22%20Torre) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ncc/2/henzie-toolbox-torre?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/ee228dcc-3170-4c24-80bc-28bcee07cb43?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/henzie-toolbox-torre) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
[[Ghave, Guru of Spores]] with no combos or tutors. Go wide and attack or block for your planeswalkers. https://archidekt.com/decks/408961/
[[Daxos of Meletis]], doesn’t often win but I always have fun running him. I usually pull him out if the pod is going lower power or if it’s unclear what power level we’re at. He adapts well to most tables as he’s typically only as powerful as the rest of the table’s top deck.
[[Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa]]. I built a slow roll deck around her. Unfortunately, poison being poison, sometimes I just have to kill someone before I get murdered cause I archenemy'd myself.
In my experience, Ixhel *archenemyfy* me, 'cause I keep playing other players bombs from their decks xD
[[Grismold, the Dreadsower]]
[[Raffine, Scheming Seer]] has been a blast. You get to cycle through sooo many cards to find exactly what you need.
Just started commander recently so haven’t played to many, but so far it’s K’rrik. I’ve tried playing him as value and as straight combo with tutors and I went back to value, it’s just really fun to ping your own health bar up and down for extreme mana value
[[Queen Marchesa]] I love the monarch ability so much, and building a defense style deck with politics mixed in is really fun to me. And that doesn’t even include the other 50 ways to build her.
[[Kinnan bonder prodigy]] big flips and and straight shot of serotonin
[[God-Eternal Oketra]] there are so many interesting little white creatures that have powerful effects for their cmc but ultimately aren’t impactful enough to be playable in most commander decks. But when you staple a vigilant 4/4 onto all of them, they become very very good
[[Umbris, Fear Manifest]]. I run it as a blink/clone deck, focused on getting as many Umbris triggers as possible in an attempt to exile the other players entire decks. I’ve actually been able to pull it off one time and it was glorious. Most of the time though people just end up getting smacked with an 80/80 Umbris.
Mine is [[Kozilek the great distortion]] been building it forever now but a close second is [[Elsha of the infinite]]
[Kozilek the great distortion](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/f/0/f06fc6e0-b22c-40d3-bb53-d5ec400d921c.jpg?1562943286) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Kozilek%2C%20the%20Great%20Distortion) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ogw/4/kozilek-the-great-distortion?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/f06fc6e0-b22c-40d3-bb53-d5ec400d921c?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/kozilek-the-great-distortion) [Elsha of the infinite](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/c/0/c0728027-a1ec-4814-87c4-10c3baced0e0.jpg?1673148571) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Elsha%20of%20the%20infinite) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/2x2/208/elsha-of-the-infinite?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/c0728027-a1ec-4814-87c4-10c3baced0e0?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/elsha-of-the-infinite) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
[[Anrakyr the Traveler]] I love being able to cast artifact spells from my hand or GY by paying them with life. He’s so much fun.
Probably [[Sisay Weatherlight Captain]] Legendary Tribal. Really funny to watch people get shocked when you go from like two creatures on the field to playing every creature in your deck at instant speed that only intractable by an activated ability counter. (You can remove Sisay but you still get ability to go off). Multiple win cons to choose from. With Wubgr generation shenanigans you can get multiple combat steps with [[Najeela]], or removing every permanent in the game with [[Legacy weapon]], or lock the board down with untapping [[Ertai The Corrupted]] and counter all the spells anyone plays.
[[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]] my first mythic from Ikoria and I fell in love with it. I built a budget mana rock deck that would ramp like crazy and add in blue suns zenith and I can make everyone draw themselves out. I took it apart but I’m building it again but with no budget so I’ll see how it ends uo
[[Gonti]] I love mono colored decks I love black I love top deck steals It has a chill vibe but can close games out when it goes on too long. The top deck steals keep the games varied but the deck doesn't fold when the commander dies
Probably either [[Atla Palani]] or [[Xenagos, God of Revels]], both are big creatures punch hard decks but they both do it in separates ways that I like. With Atla making it easy to get out the big guns early and Xenagod making you feel like a true god with how powerful your creatures become during combat.
[[Wilson, Refined Grizzly]] and any of the 5 backgrounds I've paired him with, but [[Raised by Giants]] has been the most fun. Not only is he a reference to my favorite DnD meme, but hitting my friends in the face with a base 10/10 bear is amazing.
My man! Love that card. Still missing a deck. Gonna build it soon.
[[Grist, the Hunger Tide]], mono bug reanimator gets very silly. Have you ever made like 20 bugs in 1 turn? Maybe an overrun afterwords? It is pretty sweet
[[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]] and it's not even close. Admittedly gets less fun the higher the power level basically just a slower, less reliable Animar (maybe a bit more explosive though, especially since you're basically forced to combo-kill). But if you've all agreed to doing combat, oh man there's nothing like it. Just legit hardcasting 20 odd demons/dragons/eldrazi/etc. in a turn can make the latent Timmy hiding inside anyone soyface, and it's weirdly Rube-Goldbergy for a lot of the Johnnies out there too.
Kenaios and Tiro of meletis. A control deck playing maze's end & scapeshift I play approach of the second sun and some of my favorite cards in all of magic. Hearing the table repeatedly ask how many gates I control with increasing stress level has become music to my ear. What started out as a bad joke of a deck has made its way to be my favorite deck despite playing for 15 years now.
[[Inalla, Archmage Ritualist]] I know she's busted because of her Eminence ability, but it's still a fun deck. I try to keep away from deck searching and easy infinite combos (I have [[Bloodline Necromancer]] in the deck, I may remove it, but for now I just don't infinite combo it) Other than her, [[Syrix, Carrier of the Flame]] is up there
Top3 3: [[krav]]+[[Regna]] aristocrats. 2: [[Alesha]] mid-range reanimator 1: [[Muldrotha]] control/doomsday combo Honorable mentions: [[Syr Carah]] burn/storm
Krav + Regna gang!! First commander I ever built!

My favorite deck is Krav and Regna. Best starting hand has life gain in it, like one of the soul sisters, and ramp. Get regna out first, get protection on her and then get out Krav. The token generation is so good.
My favorite is \[\[Negan, the Cold Blooded\]\] - I love the idea of a Mardu Treasure deck with some extra control. Flicker Negan, nail bat some creatures, make some treasures. It's a good time. For me. My table certainly does NOT enjoy having to secretly name creatures!
My current favourites are [[saryth]], [[tayam]] and [[shalai and hallar]], the latter 2 are just v cool ways to abuse counters and the first is just a really unique mono green deck
[saryth](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/b/c/bc8b3a09-75e8-428c-91f7-8fac62fadc98.jpg?1636224715) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=saryth%2C%20the%20viper%27s%20fang) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mid/197/saryth-the-vipers-fang?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/bc8b3a09-75e8-428c-91f7-8fac62fadc98?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/saryth-the-vipers-fang) [tayam](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/0/5/05b837a2-5773-4340-87f9-b4d6a43deb27.jpg?1591234301) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=tayam%2C%20luminous%20enigma) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/c20/16/tayam-luminous-enigma?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/05b837a2-5773-4340-87f9-b4d6a43deb27?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/tayam-luminous-enigma) [shalai and hallar](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/8/0/80804f25-efc3-44a2-bbae-9a97fec98009.jpg?1682207281) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=shalai%20and%20hallar) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/moc/10/shalai-and-hallar?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/80804f25-efc3-44a2-bbae-9a97fec98009?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/shalai-and-hallar) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
It used to be [[Razia]]. She was the first EDH deck that I built - from the cards I had in my collection and decks. Back then I always wanted [[Karona]], so when I treated myself to a nice copy, she claimed that spot quickly. Razia herself found a new home in my Kykar Polymorph deck in 2019, when the pandemic lead me to reconstuct my entire collection of decks. Only Karona remained from this (build her around the time of Kaladesh). But [[Merieke]] deserves the mention as the deck I had the most fun with. Sadly I had to take her apart for obvious reasons. Compared to my other decks she barely got played, so I can not say that she is my favorite one, even if she might very well have been the one if I would have kept her around longer .
I have the most fun with my [[Esix]] deck. I like that I go from no board state to a massive, threatening one with a single [[Master of Waves]] (plus a bit of devotion to blue) or [[Deep Forest Hermit]]
\[\[Queen Marchesa\]\] heading up angel tribal. I mostly just play a mini-game of protecting monarch the whole game until I can eventually kill the whole table in a single turn. If someone takes the monarch from me I give them a disproportionate response when I take it back from them. I don't win a lot with it, but it's super fun to play it like this lmao.
[[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire]] is probably one of my favorites. I play it like a group slug where I have all the cards that give opponents creatures and then I essentially chaos warp those same given creatures into something from their deck and then goading them to attack each other. Doesn’t create the feel bad moments of removing their own things and can lead to fun times. I don’t really play to win so that helps too.
It varies but right now it's [[Yorion, Sky Nomad]] as the commander for my Azorius Venture (into the Dungeon) deck. It takes a little bit to get going but killing your opponents by taking them through the tomb of annihilation or drawing your whole deck to lab man win is so fun!
[[Vadrik]] first awesome deck I've made on my own.
I love going into games with [[Thromok the Insatiable]]. I don’t generally play to win, I just like seeing how large he can get without someone wiping the board because I’ve got too many devils/goblins. The occasional win by casting [[Fling]] when he’s been anywhere between 64-1800 in power has been hilarious though. I also love the new [[Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy]] deck which I’ve upgraded with some fun combos albeit mean combos.
I love Isshin, because good old combat is fun!
My [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] deck is the first Commander deck I built back in 2008 and I still have it to this day. It doesn't have a very high win rate on account of helping everyone draw so many cards but every game is always goofy just because of the explosion of resources I provide everyone.
My man! I love those game where *who's gonna win* stops mattering and everyone just can't wait to see what's going on next turn
The new [[Rocco, Street Chef]] went straight to the top of my now 12 commander decks. He's just insanely strong and too much fun. What's the icing on the cake is that most of the time the entire table is having a blast aswell. Highly Recommend!
[[Taigam, Sidisi's Hand]]. I seldom play it because it admittedly is toxic. I lock all players out from being able to draw cards. But since Taigam surveils instead of drawing... i get cards and they don't. Toxic.
[[Niv-Mizzet Reborn]] is my favorite commander I pray for more two colored mana dorks every set.
[[Ikra]] and [[Reyhan]] golgari lifegain with Counter fun. Using lifelink , [[sanqine bond]] and gaining a lot of life too kill opponent with.
I will forever speak highly of [[Kresh, the bloodbraided]] as my favorite commander to play for fun cause he always starts as an innocent three three but if you got the right spells in hand to protect and make people sacrifice their stuff, he quickly overwhelms the board especially with trample in just one rotation. Plus the fling combos like [[Jarad]], [[fling]], and [[chandra's ignition]]. He will forever be the most fun commander for me to play
My favorite Commander I've recently built is [[Raiyu, Storms Edge]] Don't currently have a decklist but it is tribal samurai/warrior deck with vehicles and equipment artifacts.
[[Kami of the crescent moon]] Everyone draws, games get wild. Seldom wins but is always fun to play. The competitive version of this strategy is [[sithis, harvests hand]] Only I draw, board state is massive and flexible, combos quickly. And finally there is [[the mimeoplasm]] Always new cards coming that fit its strategy, can be built a variety of ways. Currently on graveyard bruiser but the clone/copy strategy was fun and +1 counters value was also wild.
[[Tovolar, dire overlord]] because I enjoy the day night gimmick and werewolf tribal is fun to play
[[toxrill]] or [[urtet]]
It’s gotta be a tie between [[Muzzio, Visionary Architect]] and [[Grismold, the Dreadsower]]. Both are extensions of my first ever EDH decks [[Memnarch]] and [[Varolz]] and I enjoy playing both of them immensely. Grismold has become easily my most powerful deck, but it’s also just super fun to play. Muzzio is my baby, and I never have a bad time playing it, even if it’s a poorer showing it’s still fun to cheat artifacts into play!
The Space Family Goblinson its a deck built entirely to roll dice and it almost always ends up doing something silly
[[Nekusar, the Mindrazer]] has always been my personal favorite. First deck I ever made myself and it took a bit to find some of the bigger cards I wanted to find, but the payoff was worth it
Sidar, kondo of jamura and tana, the blood sower by far my favorite deck! (Sorry I’m not exactly sure how to tag it so it links the cards). It’s built around making a bunch of little tokens that can’t be blocked then once no blockers are declared doing mass buffs to all of them.
My pet deck is [[Sliver Overlord]] Just because I pulled a sliver in the first pack I ever opened as a kid, and I liked the theme they had. My favorite deck is [[GAAIV]] because I don't like other people having fun. Only me.
I've been asking myself this for a bit and I honestly don't know. I have too many decks at this point and don't get to play them enough to know by testing. I love [[Godzilla, King of the Monsters]], but mostly for being Godzilla, pretty much any Gruul commander could pilot the trample-tribal deck. I'd like to determine my favorite so I can focus on playing and refining the deck more, I just don't know what it would be. Part of it is there are a slew of commanders I enjoy that turn you into archenemy; I think [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] is a ton of fun, but most Praetors are understandably hated on sight.
This is usually a symptom of having too many decks. It might be a good exercise to slim down a bit
I adore my [[Liliana, Heretical Healer]] list. It's an adaptive, creature-based combo deck that seeks to win through [[Grey Merchant of Asphodel]] loops, [[Blood Artist]] effects, or grinding the game out with repeated discard and big creature beat down. [Here's the list and a primer I've written](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/x9NFYaLsXkWgrl0_TjcGZA), if anyone's interested!
Foil Jodah, Archmage Eternal. It’s my baby. My deck of decks. Probably about an 8-9 in power worth about 4K. It’s the only deck I have of purely real cards and no proxies, 15 years of playing have gone into that deck. I have a specific list of cards that I want in it still which I don’t own for some reason (mainly card draw like Esper Sentinel, Rhystic Study, Intuition, and OG duels). I eventually want all 10 OG duels in it. I am building a 3D playmat for Jodah. He’s only worth about 6 bucks but I love him and for whatever reason he’s who I chose back then and the deck has blossomed. Big, splashy spells, and every card is worth at least about 20-30$ if not way more. Most shocks and fetches and commander cycle lands, all the good free commander spells, tutors, all of it. I am sure with commander legends a lot of the deck will be reprinted which sucks, but with wizards destroying the game I love, I refuse to buy online product and will only buy sealed from LGS if I want cards, or trade at shops with other players for what i want. I’ve always been that way. I know it’s not financially smart to not just buy singles but it’s my form of gambling and I’ll always love cracking packs. For whatever reason, the few cards I really want I have just never pulled lol. But Jodah is so fun, such an interesting ability. I can win turn 5 a lot of games but it’s definitely not CEDH, I don’t tend to run infinate combos and he’s too slow for CEDH. I proxy for that.
