How is it green blue and red..? Kruphix is only green and blue. Plus, I don't think you can use azorius signet because it has white in it.

if you want to build a commander/edh deck with {kruphix, god of horizons} as your general, you cannot have any cards in your deck that have red or white symbols. your deck has to be composed of your generals colors, which are only blue and green. So first, you have to either change generals or cut all the red and white if you want to have a legal commander deck.

In terms of good blue and green edh cards {rhystic study} {genesis wave} {kodama's reach} {cultivate} {explosive vegetation} {rampant growth} {sylvan scrying} {nature's lore} and {skyshroud claim}. Note {skyshroud claim} let you look for any forests not just basics so you can find shocklands or whatever fancy forest you run.

You is brill, so happy you suggested those cards, if I have a card that requires red and green mana, can I still include that and then use a land like stomping ground or temple of abandon?

Any {R}, {W}, or {B} symbols on any cards anywhere means it cannot be played in a {U}+{G} deck. Not on any cards, including lands. If a land, like {Temple of Epiphany}, produces {R} mana, it cannot even be in the deck

You cannot. Look at  {Kruphix, God of Horizons} {Kruphix, God of Horizons}. His color identity is {G}{U}. This means that only cards with those mana symbols printed anywhere on the card can have {G}, {U}, or both. No {R}{B}{W}

No. In commander you can only use cards that have only colors in your commanders color identity, all the colors in the mana cost or rules text of the creature. So for example, in an {Azusa, Lost but Seeking} EDH I couldn't use a {Deathrite Shaman} because it has a green black color identity. Nor could I use a {Boros Reckoner} in a {Krenko, Mob Boss} EDH because it's color identity is red white. In your Kruphix deck you couldn't even run lands that produce any color of mana other than Green/Blue (Except for rainbow lands).

Try to look at the comprehensive guide to commander at the top of the page, you can learn all the rules quick,  even look through Community decks, and learn cards that are good in your colors by looking at the "staples"😊

And if you're just starting build something simple. My recommendation would be a {Thromok The Insatiable} weenie EDH

Kruphix isnt blue green and red though... Thats why I assumed Animar.
