I'm trying to get into EDH, so obviously I need a Commander....does anyone have recommendations? I want either a female or a dragon, here are some of the ones that caught my eye earlier:
{Teysa, Orzhov Scion}
{Iona, Shield of Emeria}
{Jaya Ballard, Task Mage}
{Azusa, Lost but Seeking}
{Sisters of Stone Death}
{Intet, the Dreamer}
The last two are the ones I am considering most right now, but I have no idea what I'm doing so any help is greatly appreciated! ;)
If you're considering {Sisters of Stone Death}, I'd say look into {Damia, Sage of Stone} as well. She's nasty, still a Gorgon, let's you play Sisters still, and let's you play blue. Again it all depends on your play style, but I personally have often debated on whether or not to build me a Damia list, she seems pretty killer.

She DOES look awesome :o thank you!

Mmmmm
Or if you want dragons, go with The Lord of All Dragons, Lord Bolas himself
{Nicol Bolas}
As opposed to Intet you may wanna try riku. Copy a bribery? Yes please. 2 BLIGHTSTEELS? Thanks Riku!!!! Oh wow a copied time stretch.. I would LOVE to take 4 more turns where I'll probably draw into more take an extra turn spells.. Yea. Riku. He's pretty good.

You want a female commander? {Kaalia of the Vast}. Boom, get your dragons for free (also angels and demons)

Did you mean: {Scion of the Ur Dragon}
Also {Animar Soul of Elements}
If you want a dragon EDH commander look at
{karrthus, tyrant of jund}. He seems pretty cool giving all of your dragons haste.
Also for a female commander look at {glissa, the traitor}. She can be wicked!
Thank you guys! I'm going to go to my local game store and see which ones are available! I want to start building this as soon as I can.

I'm sorry dude. You've been bit. It's by far the worst addiction you'll contract in this game. I own 5 EDH decks currently, working in my sixth.

A card that may be easily available that is a good female would be {Alesha who Smiles at Death}
Flavor is a great element in choosing your EDH deck, you can have a spiky deck, but if its all tribal combos and unique synergies, it's way more fun for everyone.

I have 17 EDH decks logged on this app and there were many more pre-iMtG. Love me some EDH.
I've constructed about 12 and after time passed I've only really enjoyed playing with about 6 of them.
(Uril is too oppressive and fast)
(Green is just big beats)
(Esper control is just long)
Even slivers...
Now my other decks...
5 color Dragons
GwToken combo infinite life gain
GB Sac the board state if needed
UB Mill
5 Color Gods Elves and Eldrazi (FLAVOR)
WUG Jenara tribal enchant angels
Those are fun!
You guys are insane!!! I feel like more of a noob than ever..... ;)
I have... Two...
And they are both trash, so I'm working on tuning up my Oloro list (read: I'm copying DudeCore's list).

Ahh you're ok don't worry.
But yes it's very addicting, currently my decks are :
{Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} - Zombie tribal
{Marchesa, the Black Rose} -Grixis aggro/tempo
{Zurgo Helmsmasher} - Stax
{Muzzio, Visionary Architect} - Artifact shenanigans
I have one: {Nekusar}
It started as budget, but throught a year has gotten expensive... All the legal fetches, {Mana Crypt}, {Chains of Mephistopheles}, {Timetwister}... Yeah, it's an addiction.
We need EDHA: EDH anonymous lol
When I started playing Magic a little over 2 years ago, this is where I found the most assistance for building commander decks. And I fell in love. In about a 13 month period I had foiled out an {animar, soul of elements} deck and had 7 other commander decks. No matter what you chose to build, make sure you enjoy playing it and same goes for those playing with you. If no one else likes it, you will start to not enjoy it.
So I decided on Emmara Tandris because if I combine her and Elspeth, Sun's Champion in a deck..... 👌👌👌 and the best part is I actually was able to trade for her just hours after I decided I wanted her, so it worked out great! Thanks for all the help/advice!

Honestly (not meaning to sound rude) but Emmera is not a good general. She requires you to be building a token deck to be useful. Go with {Trostani Selesnya's Voice}. Same colours, better ability, combos with things more consistently, cheaper (mana wise), and does not require a token theme to be good. Also, Emmera can be included in the deck!

D: Ugh, seriously?? Well.....I just spent like three hours building this stupid deck and already made a lot of trades with a token based deck in mind x) my friend told me Emmara was really good, I'm kinda mad at him right now ;) I think he just wanted me to trade him my Crux of Fate.....

You traded a {Crux of Fate} for an {Emmara Tandris}?

Hahahaha, no. I traded. A Crux for an Emmara and a whole ton of other cards. I got a {Fleecemane Lion} and I collect spider cards so 4 {Deadly Recluse}.....and lots of others I can't remember x) it was a good trade, I promise.
{Trostani, Selesnya's Voice} Would still work well with tokens, may I also suggest {primal vigor}, {doubling season}, and {parallel lives}.
intet really breaks the format my build has most the good hydras and a few dragons as well as some other grean fatties but the {G}{R} power with {U} draw makes it easy to have bigg creatures early and GOD powerd hydras later lol. personal record is a 164/164 heros bane and a {Hydra Broodmaster} at 24 = 24 24/24 hydras all in 3 turns of playing both with intets ability
edit totaly didn't see the second and third page before i posted this
