Commander Deck Help forum

Hey all.
I'm currently in quite the dilemma...
I was planning on building a Blind Seer EDH deck but I recently was gifted an Akroma, Angel of Fury from my little brother since he knows I love angels. I can only afford to build one currently, so which do you guys think I should build? Do you have lists for either?
Thanks,
Arcaneful

I like Akroma, but she is going to play very differently from Seer. Typically much more 'punch in the mouth'. So it depends on how you want to play.

Like the others said these are very different play styles. So do you enjoy the shenanigans blind seer will do or do you like to smash face more?
Akroma, Angel of Fury not only has awesome art but makes a wicked commander for doing commander damage. You want a lot of things that give you a lot of mana like Gilded Lotus and Braid of Fire. You pump her and swing. Really easy to throw in some of the mana burn spells like Comet Storm.
Blind Seer is a control deck. Personally not a fan of blue control but he does it in an interesting way. Things like Douse become good(?) or at least decent... Blue has a bunch of color specific hate which he turns into every color hate and it can be brutal to play against that. Mana Maze is terrifying with him.

I would recommend Akroma, but I'd put her in a deck led by somebody else. Mono-R isn't that great in EDH, and Akroma herself seems fairly lackluster as a general. Maybe Gisela, Blade of Goldnight or Xenagos, God of Revels?

I Love my Blind Seer deck, old man Urza gets my vote. Check it out for inspiration.

Out of the two, I would pick Akroma just because Bind Seer just doesn't do enough by himself.
