Now I would love to know, who do you think is a good/fun commander to use. I really like:
1. Jhoira: she seems like a really fun commander to build around!
2. Animar: you can make some nasty combos with this guy!
3. Progenitus: he is just really fun so you can do funny things like door to nothingness ;)



Edit: Thraximundar is an awesome commander!! Will post later!! :)

Scion or Cromat are better 5 colors, Cromat especially if you're not running creatures mainly

Currently I have a {Trostani} edh deck that is super fun but  {Kresh the Bloodbraided} will always have a special spot in my heart being he was my first commander I also have a  {Mikaeus the Unhallowed} combo deck that I think is insanely fun but my edh group hates it

Arzair

I primarily run my  {Riku of Two Reflections}, tons of fun and very competitive.

I also have:
  {Melek, Izzet Paragon} that was fun to build, including many things people never expect to be in an edh deck
{Uril, the Miststalker} - naya hexproof voltron
{Kresh the Bloodbraided} - June reanimator voltron
{Nicol Bolas} - creatureless control
{Sen Triplets} - esper control (pillow fort)
{Wort, Boggart Auntie} - very fun fast paced tribal goblin fun
{Karador, Ghost Chieftain} - reanimator shenanagins
{Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts} - I call this the "crazy girlfriend" deck, death and taxes lol

There are a ton of options, but I say run the deck that makes you happy.

avoid net.decking as much as possible, because creativity is king in edh. You will almost always be happier winning with a deck you 100% custom crafted.

I run the following commanders:

{Kaalia of the Vast}
{Uril, the Miststalker}
{Sen Triplets}
{Bruna, Light of Alabaster}
{Riku of Two Reflections}

They are all really fun, I wouldn't even be able to tell you which I like best.

Oh can we compare deck lists with riku :) he is by far my favorite... Izzet, Simic and Gruul... A crazy combination we lovingly call RUG ... Lol

My commander decks are  {The Mimeoplasm}  {Zur the Enchanter} and  {Merieke Ri Berit}. I like BUG colors but esper control is just so boss.

Currently running progenitus but also have a {teferi, mage of zhalfir} and {trostani, selesnyas voice}, but I love my current pet project of a {jor kadeen the prevailer} combo deck

Kaleo42

 {Omnath, Locus of Mana} was my first commander that i still use today. Love powering things out with extreme consistancy.

{Oona, Queen of the Fae} or really any esper or dimir commander makes for great artifact fun.

I recently constructed a comboless  {Animar, Soul of Elements} from spare cards. It feels a lot like my omnath with more options.

The edh decks I have build and liked we're {drana, kelastria bloodchief}
{the mimeoplasm}
{vela the night-clad}
{grand arbiter Augustine IV}
{kamahl, fist of krosa}
and the current hotness and my all time favorite and most competitive {captian sisay}

 {Scion of the Ur-Dragon} Dragon <3

{Teysa, envoy of ghosts} is one commander I run and she is sic! Costs to get her out but with a white black combo you can control alot of your opponents creature flow etc.

DrainCleaner

 {Braids, Conjurer Adept} isn't a popular one but my turn 3  {Blightsteel Colossus} is crazy.
Shes so good.

One of my favourite decks is {vish kal, blood arbiter}, if you can get him out swinging, it's game over. Use the time properly before you get him out by building resources, token production I find is key, the sac a few creatures to pump him up and go for the jugular
