What's do you think is the most fun commander for casual games? Everybody can build a mean and/or powerful deck, but with what commander do you enjoy playing the most and have the most fun with?
For fun I like Maelstrom Wanderer or Intet, the Dreamer , they can both cause a lot of good plays.

I have a Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind deck that I really enjoy playing. He can be good with or without Curiosity that everyone recommends playing him with.

i've seen Phelddagrif used a lot in group-hug, funcentric commander decks. also agree with Maelstrom Wanderer as cascading is my favorite thing to do in magic.
i could be wrong, but i don't think Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind infi combos is the type of "fun" the op was referring to. sounds more "mean and/or powerful."

i also used to run a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker deck that had the potential to infi combo, but was more for the fun and chaos i could cause. it's also silly when you randomly manage to win with a mono-red edh edck.

Ruric Thar, the Unbowed In a deck I affectionately call "The Happy Pill" Because with it you can't be blue. Lots of Choke and Monsoon and Tsunami purely for the fun of ironically not letting people not let people do things. Greatest triumph was something looking so smug while playing Force of Will only to have a Guttural Response in my hand. And that's just till Ruric comes out and ruins peoples day, till someone takes the 6 to kill him.

Borborygmos Enraged is an incredibly fun commander. I never get tired of saying, "That's fine, but take 30 damage to your face" whenever someone gets uppity in the group. Slap on a Keen Sense and see how much damage you can chain together!

I am currently running Jalira, Master Polymorphist with some huge creature shenanigans.... It is extremely fun to turn a Plated Seastrider into a Stormtide Leviathan ........ XD

Anyone have any experience with Riku of Two Reflections ? I'm thinking it's a bit like Wort, the Raidmother with some additional options.

I'll start:
Yesterday I borrowed a really fun Wort, the Raidmother -deck, and I found the ability really flexible and fun: each new card draw brought a new surprise. Token-card? Ok, I'll double the tokens. Primal Growth ? Double the ramp. Card draw? Burn? I think Wort's ability was great for varied play instead of i.e. Thraximundar or Nath of the Gilt-Leaf that does the same thing every time.
