Everything above was tldr but in EDH UGx is by far the best colour combo bc {Prophet of Kruphix} and {Seedborn Muse} are by far the 2 best EDH cards (they get really hated on lol)

But tbh depends on your playgroup if it's casual build a fun deck (check out Gorzos Chaos deck) and if your play group is competitive be that guy who plays {Boros Charm} and {Armaggedon} lol

I don't know about the U/G being the best. Prophet is amazing, but I think black is better than green because of it's amazing universal tutors.

Mono red keranos is fun... Play a bunch of token making cards like krenko

Yeah...this just isn't true. I'll agree that prophet is absolutely amazing, and that {seedborn muse} is pretty good, but at the end of the day they die to every peice of removal in the format.

Countless times I've witnessed people exhaust tutors trying to make something happen with these guys, just to have them pathed upon entering the battlefield. U/G is very strong but let's not get carried away.

On another note, most of the posts prior to this one contain some valuable information. Most of the things I would suggest can already be found in those! :)
