Commander Deck Help forum

So, I'm a little stuck on commander ideas for new EDH decks. I am an avid player of the format, and was hoping others would share unique commanders and ideas that have worked for them. Please include a link to a decklist if possible.

BLACK, Deck of Lords and Titles for when you want them to play by your rules.

Urborg School for Mimes for when you need different things at different times.

So when you say unique what does that mean to you? Because there's a lot to unpack in that question. Also what strategies are your favorite?

When I say unique I mean things off the beaten path, things that use a commander in a way most people wouldn't expect. I have several control players in my meta, and would like to either (A) give them a taste of their own medicine. For example, I am currently considering the cruelest of control decks, Zur the Enchanter with Counterbalance, or (B) design a deck that can fight through counterspells. I like combo and prison-style decks.

I'll share a few, I hope these help.

My competitive lists are Tactical Beauty and Marath Says No.

My theme decks:

Atraxa's Friends my Primal Surge walker deck.

Child Abuse a wrath themed deck that wins with opponent's wincons.

Ephara God of the Pole my enchantment deck.

Karador's Rats my rat deck.

Laura's Norin my girlfriends unconventional and very fun deck.

Werewolves...nuff said.
