Fun Commander to build?

Commander Deck Help forum

What commander should I build next? I currently have Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  Flip control deck. Im pretty open to any ideas.

Do you want to go control again? Try Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis with enchantments, sweepers and hatebears. You'll get something new from basically every set. Toshiro Umezawa is a nice comboesque voltron.

Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis seems like an interesting commander, do you have a deck for him? Not a big fan of voltron

@Homelessguy tokens would be fun but someone in my meta plays Ghoulcaller Gisa zombie token deck so I dont know how it would compete.

The Gitrog Monster is pretty fun, if that’s your style.

You could always build artifacts, there’s many options for generals but my favorite is Sydri, Galvanic Genius

Sigarda, Heron's Grace is a newer build of mine and it’s pretty fun (especially at sub $100)

Anyways, hope this helped.

I am a pretty big fan of Karona, False God as a commander. She has two basic strategies she can run - tribal and Voltron. My personal preference is Voltron - it is a lot of fun to watch your opponents kill one another with your commander. Granted, she’s not that competitive, so, depending on your meta, might not be worth considering.

Here’s my list: Pinball Wizard - Karona, False God EDH

You see how the suggestions are pretty all over the place? It's cuz your OP gave people very little to go off of. My suggestion is to ignore all of the above posts and spend maybe half an hour looking at people's decks on TO. Not to copy them, but the get a feel for what people run in EDH and how you would like to play the game. It's important that you like the color combination and commander you use. Figure out in a bit more detail what it is that you would like to do first, and then go from there.

Selvala, Explorer Returned, she is using the two colors Nicky isn't and is also basically the opposite of Nicol Bolas functionally. Here's mine..


Selesnya Selvala is my favorite mana dork ever.

One of the most fun Commanders I've ever played (or played against) is Lord Windgrace.

Also, because of its versatility, I also find Marath, Will of the Wild extremely entertaining to play/build around.

Finally, I've heard many people say many times how fun Roon of the Hidden Realm is.

Thantis, the Warweaver commander that lacks obvious synergy - becomes completely your own thing

Thanks for all the suggestions. I know my post was a little vague but Im pretty open to any commander, just wanted to see what you all suggested and go from there.

My favorite colors are RBU so any combination of those would be nice
