looking to do a poll. I'll start a numbering system. Looking for ideas on what to do next. Big props to {{Mickeven}} for going through the arguments and tallying them for me.

Scion for quick finish if needed
Oloro. Stax.
Quote from: Taysby on November 04, 2014, 07:30:43 PM
Narset hands down. Zur is a close second. Both win without allowing anyone else to do anything about it.
This, plus Oloro Stax.
I'm partial to Arcum. It's my competitive deck. I think it's just straight up stupid.
Oloro stax
Updated list
If straight winning is your game:
{Zur the Enchanter}
{Sen Triplets}
{Uril, the Miststalker}
{Oloro, Ageless Ascetic}
{Narset, Enlightened Master}
{Athreos, God of Passage}
{Oona, Queen of the Fae}
{Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}
(Anyone notice a common colour scheme here? Esper for life, baby!)

Oloro stax
You guys see that many Oloro Stax decks? I'm the only person in my LGS that runs one...
I personally think Arcum is pretty busted. Most Stax decks I've seen run either too many creatures, or they're completely attrition based (like mine). Others run {Ad Nauseam} which has less to do with Oloro and more to running a busted combo in Esper colors.
Derevi, Zur, narset, wanderer, arcum, oloro... There's a lot

No one brings up {The Mimeoplasm}? It's pretty degenerate. Copying a {True Name Nemesis} and my commander has protection from you? Or copy {Skitheryx the Blight Dragon} and haste insta win? Or T1 {Entomb} {Jin Gitaxias, Core Augur} into T2 {Exhume}, {Animate Dead}, {Dance of the Dead} etc. gg lol

{Sedris, the Traitor King} can do reanimator too. I think the list is looking for broken commanders, not broken colors. Which is why I disagree with Oloro, because {Sen Triplets}, {Dromar the Banisher} and {Sharuum the Hedgemon} every other Esper commander ran Stax before Oloro became the best at it. If he were banned I'd just move my list back to Dromar.
Arcum and Deveri pretty much have decks build around their brokenness.
So should Sedris be on the list?

Ahh I forgot about derevi. But in reply to the oloro stax thing, there's about 3 people in my meta that run it! It's a fairly common deck surprisingly.

I feel like Sedris and {The Mimeoplasm} should NOT be on the list. As well as {Oloro, Ageless Ascetic}. I think the colors are the problem. Cards like {Zur the Enchanter} are oppressive strategies that only work with a tutor like Zur. Stax has existed forever and works with tons of different commanders, including {Zurgo Helmsmasher} of all people. Hell, even {Zur the Enchanter} is a replacement Commander for Oloro in Esper Stax, might even be better.
Maybe dude is right, Munch!
I remembered a similar post to this a while ago, might help your list out?
http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=40580.0
Are you looking for multiplayer commanders or 1v1 French commanders?
Am I the only one that feels like "best" is maybe the wrong word for this?
"Best" can mean a billion things in this context. Fastest? Most reliable? Most competitive? Most fun to play? Most enjoyed by the whole table? Strongest individual legendary creature, ignoring decks/themes that go with it? And so on.
Which are you looking for, for the purpose of this list, exactly? :P

I'm looking mostly for the generals that when you see them at the table, you groan because you know exactly what's coming and it scares the entire table because the deck that is associated with that general is just way too good. Also, Oloro should be on here. He is simply the best Esper Stax General right now. If he were banned yes there would be another one that would take over but they would not be quite as good as Oloro.

This
The problem with kaalia is if she's tucked (which isn't too hard, she doesn't protect herself) you're screwed. Your game plan rides more on her than it safely should, and compared to Zur where half your deck is counterspells that amount of dependency is bad. Not saying I don't like kaalia, I do.
Ah, so power/competitive.
Here's my list for the 10 most powerful generals, in no particular order:
Narset
Kaalia
Zur
Uril
Rafiq
Arcum
Nekusar
Derevi
Oloro
Xenagos
no one has mentioned {azami, lady of scrolls}?

I could see replacing Xenagos for azami, but there's no way Kaalia doesn't deserve to be on the list. If I had to cut that 10 down to 5, she'd still be on it, she's that strong.
{Rasputin Dreamweaver} because he's Russia's love machine
{Vendilion Clique} can be a monster if built right.

You can't play narset off the bat either.....
So now are we talking commanders on the battlefield or decks. Because now with assuming they can't land is a factor now....
Narset would be pretty weak, keep her off the field and you're fine.

playing narset doesnt cause you to win immediately either.
You will have a haste source out, swing, get infinite turns, 21 commander damage.
Yes. Yes it does.
Well that answers it folks. 100% of the time when Narset gets cast, Insta-win. GG. List complete. Idk why we're still talking when it's obvious that Narset beats all.
But I can ramp scion into t3 and kill you before you cast your commander
He is also a dragon so like 5999000 cool points over narset who is a boring monk.
Maelstrom gets a lot of cool points too because its all elementy and stuff
Wanderer is actually a bigger "I win" than narset. If you cast narset there are still answers. Wanderer is a threat himself that carries two other threats with him that you still get even if he's countered. Especially with the printing of the new anti hexproof land wanderer is better.
I'll just play {Chains of Mephistopheles} with {Teferi's Puzzle Box}... Unless your first draw is an instant destroy one of my two, everyone gets locked out...
Then Nekusar slowly kills you all...
So esper wins

This argument is invalid, all commanders are vulnerable to some sort of removal (try naming one that isn't) and as for counterspells, there are very few commanders that can't be countered
I see both sides, but Narset IS hexproof. No condemn. No Path, no Swords. Boardwipe or nothing. But I don't believe Narset is the end all be all. This game is a huge Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. No one idea trumps any other in edh. Luck is SUCH a huge factor. I've had people with .poo. Edh decks trump me, and others. Game to game is very different. So here's what I say
Everyone: No need to harass Taysby.
Taysby: We get it. You like Narset. I like the Mimeoplasm. They are what they are. You can stop acting superior.
Just get along
/endrant
You guys started arguing over the best general which is not at all what this was meant to be. Go fight about it somewhere else.
(P.S. Zedruu is the best)
My list
1 {Azami, Lady of Scrolls}
2 {Maelstrom Wanderer}
3. {Zur the Enchanter}
4. {Prossh, Skyraider of Kher}
5. {Sharuum the Hegemon}
Actually spirit of the labyrinth + possibility storm will shut down maelstrom and narset.
Narset dies to anger of the gods
Scion does not
Narest is good but not unbeatable. In magical Xmas land you can always have haste. Barest doesn't make thins uncounterable. Doesn't make things unbeatable. Relax no general is perfect. I hope you get hindered some day and durdle until you get killed.
{Edric, Spymaster of Trest} 😜
We should all meet up for an FFA, first to die would be narset by taysby
{Meekstone} will shut down most generals that rely on attacking... But oh well... Let's all get together, have a Grand Melee EDH... That will solve it all!!!!
Merieke ri berit will take everything and silent arbiter will make it a 1 on 1 type game ;)

Yeah every commander can be countered or removed, but in kaalia your game plan rides on her so much that if she's removed it cripples you more than it is healthy for a deck to be.

Most Kaalia decks I've seen don't rely on her at all. She's a pretty weak 2/2 that gets pretty darn bad later. So she has to be out early. Even that early pressure isn't exactly a lockout situation either

so playing narset automatically means you can attack? what if when you go to combat i cast {diabolic edict} and target you? and dont say youll counter it. ill just counter narset. oh {cavern of souls}? cool i got {boseiju, who shelters all}.
sure if everything goes according to plan narset should win, but casting her doesnt guarantee you get to do anything fun.

This again depends on the deck, you could potentially put something powerful into the graveyard from your hand or library and drop a {Karmic Guide} as early as turn 2 or 3, having kaalia on the field just means you don't have to pay for guide
i dun know but i find this 2 commanders strong.. {Jhoira of the Ghitu} and {Wydwen, the Biting Gale}
{Geist of Saint Traft} 😁

boesiju does nothing against cavern, but that wasnt the point. the point is sure your creature can be uncounterable, but so will my removal spell.
You are living in magical Xmas land if you think you will have haste on narset even half the time. People know your game plan and will destroy your enablers good luck plucking out fow every game also. After all it's not like if a singleton format out f 99 other cards. But your right. Narset cannot be beaten. Unless I have cards which prevent extra turns. Not like those exist though or god fobid a {Powerstone Minefield}. Every general has weaknesses and you are dreaming if you expect to win even 80% of games. When you have a deck like narset sure it's good in a vaccine while gold fishing with yourself but hate exists and people will gang up on you. Sorry to burst bubbles
Competitive EDH...why not just play legacy?
So you ruin one format because you don't have access to another?

Narset is good. One of the best, I'll give you that. I personally have never lost to a Narset deck while playing against one. But it's all everyone's opinions in thread, so know one really knows until data from every where has been collected.

Can u google this for us?
Let's not start up again dudes. People have a run of luck/skill with one in part of the world and others have a separate run of luck/skill with another deck in another part of the world. We're all right. Yay!
I really think at least {Sen Triplets}, {Uril, the Miststalker} and {Kaalia of the Vast} should be added considering they've been mentioned enough and one more to Narset with {{Arzair}}'s vote.

Alright, I'll update it later. I just don't have the time right now

Narset costs too much to possibly get out on turn 2 maybe turn 3 if you have a lucky opening hand and even then she doesn't have haste. Kaalia on the other hand has a realistic possibility of attacking on turn 3 and cheating in {Master of Cruelties} for a win

both of these are god hands.
{Uril, The Miststalker} is really broken. You have no interaction. You lose. Every game. *sighs*

Uril is so OP that's why I'm selling that deck, too boring

Yeah, I ended up deconstructing my Uril deck because it was too... Easy. I ended up turning into a slightly less mean Rafiq deck, had to do something with all those auras!
Bant angels for moi :)
Just need a linvala and its done

With partial Paris mulligans it is quite easy.
How about you guys just play against me on untap?
can you stop claiming its so easy and prove it please? can you name 5 + opening hands that can swing turn2 for infinite turns? if you cant get 5+ combinations, i doubt its so easy.
Oh so you don't own this deck yet? You just have it proxied :P

sorry man, just cause you wanted this to only be people voting, people have decided they want to defend their arguments more than just giving a list.
I vote for {Narset, Controversy Master} as my favorite, since I have crush on her even tho she has man brows
This thread has been completely derailed. There is no saving it. This is why we cannot have nice things.

Just look for posts by people other than Taysby and particle. Pretty simple.

Someone voted for him
People just need to not argue with other people who won't see reason. It's like chess with a dog. No matter how good you are at chess the dog is just going to knock over the peices lick it's junk and strut around victorious. Please it keep threads on track and ignore the people who want to argue and be right when expressing opinions
^^ that is straight up awesome ^^

{Ruhan of the Fomori} is my favorate
