Question of the week:

[JordanCirk]

What are your favorite commanders and why?

I will go ahead and start by saying  {Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} will forever and always be my favorite commander. My deck is tribal zombies, with so many ways to win! Beat down by zombies, drain everyone with {Gray Merchant of Asphodel}, fling {Lord of Extinction} at everyone with {Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord}, mill everyone with {Rooftop Storm} + {Gravecrawler} + {Altar of Dementia}, the list just goes on. It's a hilariously fun deck to play and everytime I play it reminds me why I love sultai so much'

I've had a lot of decks. My five colour has been an evolving beast over the years and yet still, no 5-colour legend really fits the theme. Still hoping for that 5-colour angel M.R. Said they would print...eventually... I've built Uril, derevi, ghave, chromium, and more but none of them really called to me. Except one. {Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury}. I started playing in ice age block. A lot of cards referenced Freyalise and the mystery captivated me. When they printed her, I instantly bought the box and loaded the deck with all my mana dorks and big beasties an I've never looked back. This deck has it all. Card draw, mana ramp, and more than a few tricks up the proverbial sleeves. And although I've played with the mana base and added a few newer cards as they're printed (origins nissa and Dwynen, I'm looking at you) the deck is still basically unchanged and really fun to play with.

That's awesome! She's a really sweet commander! Do you have a deck list at all? It would be fun to see what you have!

Don't you know that hiding cards in your sleeves is considered cheating?

My favorite commander, that's hard to say.
I've been building virtual lists to play around with for a while now, and so many commanders are great to build with. Almost every legend has a theme that calls out once I read the card, grasp the flavor. To me, that's the magic of commander.
My babies are the two decks I built myself: {Kurkesh, onakke ancient} & {krenko, mob boss}. Another commander I built a great themed deck with, is  {Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit} (which I should revise with some awaken cards actually), with the theme of death by mountains. I could go on forever. Bottom line: commander is great!

So far my all time favorite commander to play is by far Animar.   A close 2nd would be Dareti and azami wizards tribal deck.   All pretty sweet.

{Kozilek, the butcher of Truth}

I love this deck. Casting him on turns 2 or 3 and playing 4v1 EDH is some of the most fun I've ever had.

And I win a good portion of those games as well.

[PapaBudz]

My all time favorite has to be {Sydri, Galvanic Genius}. It's such a versatile combo deck. It's resilient and extremely fun to play. I also have {Darien, King of Kjeldor} soldier tribal, {Ezuri, Renegade Leader} elf tribal, {Mirri the Cursed} voltron, {Ertai, Wizard Adept} control, and {The Mimeoplasm} re-animator. I honestly love to play them all. I'm also working on {Krenko, Mob Boss} to complete my mono-colored plans.

Have you ever seen {Ancestral Statue}? It goes infinite with Animar insanely fast!

My first ever commander was mimeoplasm! He's a great volt ton commander, and whenever he became a {Stormtide Leviathan} he seemed unstoppable.

On the note of Mirri, do you happen to have a list? She's always a commander I've been interested In and even thought about building her green version as well!
