I could never pick. I like to use lesser-played legendaries, and have been having a lot of fun lately with my {Ulasht the Hate Seed} deck, though.

It's a hard one, but I don't think any general shall have my love more than my first; {Sedris, the Traitor King}. Although {Damia, Sage of Stone} is up there, along with {Ghost Council of Orzhova}.

Would you mind posting your {Ulasht} deck for me, Gorzo? I'd like to take a look.

{Maelstrom Wanderer} the mystery box is also brilliant and often time a hoot to play

I kept my entire collection but got rid of the Triplets. Changed to {Dromar, the Banisher}, because I don't really need my commander to do anything in the deck.

I probably should have done something similar. The deck was so full of cruel and infinite combos though, and it just wasn't fun for the group, so I got rid of most of the key cards. There's still enough left over to build a decent deck out of, but if I'm playing Esper, I'm going to want to go all out. The temptation was too much lol.

I feel you. I still get beat on because of my old combos. I let everyone know I got rid of them, still doesn't help. I even added {Trade Secrets} as an olive branch, still get attacked. I'm usually the 1st player out nowadays....

 {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} is by far my favorite general. I've always liked boros and she is just so fun to play with. She can be a voltron general, a token and anthem general, a burn general, or a defensive general a la pillow fort and endorsing players to attack each other. The greatest downside is by far explaining how she prevents damage. People seem to never understand how a 1/1 deals no damage.
