I have been wanting to make a edh deck that is very political. Making it so that when you play a large game with lets say 4 or more people. Everyone leaves you alone wile you build up your army or strategy and then win the game out of the blue. What do you guys think.

Edric, Spymaster of Trest , Gahiji, Honored One , Michiko Konda, and Braids, Conjurer Adept are commanders that I immediately think of.
Do you want me to look through my ~200 EDH/Commander decks for other commanders like that?
Also, do you want the decklists for those or for the four that I mentioned?

Edric, Spymaster of Trest is probably your best bet. Or just something completely unintimidating like Atogatog or Jedit Ojanen or something like that. Along with a good deck that isn't really built around them, sort of like a trick

Edric is not at all political in practice. He is however an insanely strong commander--pack the deck with junk one drops and counterspells.
What you described is zedruu or pheddalgrif: though you might not get the results you want--once you get an obnoxious board presence prepare to get targeted...

I've gotta say Zedruu the Greathearted is a fun one for that build

my favorite commander who i think is the funnest to play with is Nekusar, the Mindrazer . Built as a forcefeed deck he hits everyone equally, but sometimes people like to keep him around for awhile because of the card advantage theyre getting so it turns opponents against each other, because one person may want to keep him out a little while longer than someone else. Then when it comes time that everyone is on the same page "This guy is doing more bad than good to me" They will try to get rid of him but by that time your already winning and you should have answers in your hand that youve been holding onto to keep him alive after they turn on him. Super-fun commander, he is definitely my favorite to play with.

I think what you're talking about is group hug. Zedruu the Greathearted is a good one for donating things. Also Phelddagrif is a popular group hug commander. My group hug deck is led by Kruphix, God of Horizons . It contains group hug elements but has a glass cannon combo that can easily be stopped but it never is since people just leave me alone after letting them draw 40 cards or something with Prosperity Just gonna leave this here:
Give Hugs, Not Drugs
