DarkHero says... #11

Not purely based on how good they are, but taking into account flavor and general fun to playness.

  1. Thraximundar

  2. Maelstrom Wanderer

  3. Animar, Soul of Elements

  4. Phelddagrif

  5. Kresh the Bloodbraided

  6. Kruphix, God of Horizons

  7. Nekusar, the Mindrazer

  8. Talrand, Sky Summoner

  9. Tariel, Reckoner of Souls

  10. King Macar, the Gold-Cursed

Kaalia of the Vast is probably the best strength wise, but its just not that fun to play when everyone is mad at you from turn 1.

Whups Glissa, the Traitor is there 2 times. The one in 3rd position was supposed to be Roon of the Hidden Realm .

1). Zedruu the Greathearted - I often give people lands just so I can draw answers.

2). Sydri, Galvanic Genius - I have beaten people to death with Norn's Annex . Today against a Keranos deck I won because I turned Æther Vial , Lightning Greaves and Azorius Signet into creatures to swing for lethal the turn after he cast Blue Sun's Zenith tapping out. It's very fun to beat people up with 1-3 drop artifacts that avoid Wrath of God !

3). Nekusar, the Mindrazer - For years people have griped about blues amazing draw. Nekusar is more than willing to let people draw.

4). Tymaret, the Murder King - EDH, all about making bad cards good.

5). Karona, False God - Lucky the damage sticks to him.

6). Norin the Wary - It's so fun but it's also so terrible. I cannot understand why you would do this but i'm patiently waiting for the day that it's declared "broken".

7). Rasputin Dreamweaver - With haste boots this may very well mean "Start turn 7 with 14 Mana total available!" A nice card to combo with Ral Zarek and Contagion Engine -esque shenanigans.

8). Hazezon Tamar - A very funny way to win with tokens!

9). Mishra, Artificer Prodigy - Very fun to run an artifact deck in these colors.

10). Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician - This card just looks so fun!

Honerable Mentions: Zo-Zu the Punisher is what you play when somebody gripes about land destruction. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is hilarious if you get sick of somebodies "nothing but single target removal" decks but borders on hate. Ashling the Pilgrim is the best way to finish up your infinite turn combo in B/G/R or R/W/B.

August 17, 2014 5:26 a.m.

1) Prossh, Skyraider of Kher just lots of fun with Food Chain a haste enabler and Beastmaster Ascension

2) Riku of Two Reflections I just love doubling things like Avenger of Zendikar with Doubling Season , Primal Vigor and Parallel Lives or doubling any spell with Possibility Storm out.

3) Derevi, Empyrial Tactician stasis lockdown

4) The Mimeoplasm T-Rex for an arm...nuff said

5) Oloro, Ageless Ascetic everything I love about pillowforting with life gain. Gotta keep dem gainz.

6) Maelstrom Wanderer Never played him, but I do like the cascade mechanic

7) Nekusar, the Mindrazer the wifes deck, just allot of fun to Forced Fruition with him out

8) Marath, Will of the Wild still a WiP, but I am liking the mass tokens from him and Ivy Lane Denizen

9) Mayael the Anima whats not to like?

10) Maralen of the Mornsong Love her with Ob Nixilis, Unshackled and having some sort of protection on them

  1. Sygg, River Cutthroat (Turn two, pop him in. Great field presence with 3 toughness)
  2. Selvala, Explorer Returned (Group Hug amirite)
  3. Isamaru, Hound of Konda (always turn 1 doge)
  4. Thassa, God of the Sea (turn 3 indestructible scry 1 make stuff unblockable pretty good)
  5. Venser, Shaper Savant (countering your shit)
  6. Sigarda, Host of Herons (probably the best voltron general in EDH)
  7. Xenagos, God of Revels (One Punch Death)
  8. Nekusar, the Mindrazer (more like, Nekusour, amirite)
  9. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite (waifu card)
  10. Lazav, Dimir Mastermind (dream of turn 5, discard Jin/Eldrazi)

@Didgeridooda

How do you manage to cast Haakon? I think he's a great card but as a commander I have no idea how to use him.

August 19, 2014 8:47 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #24

MrWar The Haakon one was a joke. The others are ones I either play, or want to.

August 19, 2014 9:18 p.m.

MrWar Didgeridooda he's one of those generals that you use when you want the color(s) but don't care about the general's abilities. same with Atogatog . he's my go-to choice for five-color EDH decks that I don't care about ever casting the general.

BONESAW1 says... #40

quesobueno123wait i looked at the rest and now assume it was a joke. my bad

ComradeJim270 says... #41

Most fun I've had is with a Jhoira of the Ghitu chaos deck at the table. Obviously if your commander is Jhoira you're going to be an asshole, but when it's chaos it's funny instead of ending with someone being tossed out a window.

Of my own commanders, I do love the reactions I get playing Daretti, Scrap Savant. Some fun ones:

"Oh, Daretti!? Oh, god no!"

"What just happened?!"

"How does your Blightsteel Colossus have haste!?"

"Oh, Jesus!"

"So we just all scoop now, right?"
