Creatures vs Spells

[The Learner]

yeah I'm learning that more and more each day

[Birdbrain]

Honestly, with commander decks, anything goes. I've seen commander decks that run less than ten creatures, and work perfectly fine. It's all about the deck, and what goals you want it to accomplish.

I run 18 creatures. It's been as low as 11. Spells in EDH are usually pretty good, lots of board sweeps and permanent hate in the format.

reanimator must be good in EDH than

It's as good as any other strategy. If you're not in a counter-heavy meta. I run {Bribery} and {Desertion} for Kaalia and Reanimator decks, grab the biggest thing they own and slam it down. EDH has a lot of answers for a lot of cards, it's bound to be in someone's deck.

{Oblivion Ring} is kind of a weak card in the format, not big enough. But it has it's use.

So can your commanders abilities be activated from the command zone like with say {tarland the sky summoner}?

Nope. The command zone is just where the commander is. It doesn't effect the battlefield.

[Coffee Vampire]

No. Unless stated otherwise on the card, creatures only take into effect on the battlefield. Talrand would not work in the command zone, just like he wouldn't work in your hand, or in exile.
