1) yes and no. Yes, in that it is most certainly possible for {Jenara, Asura of War} to be a lethal commander. Absolutely. But, that being said, commander is a land of {Wrath of God} effects, and expecting her to grow large enough to KO opponents in a single swing without interference is unlikely. So don't expect her to be a one-hit-wonder.

2) commander has many staples, many vary depending on the type of deck you build. Be sure to check DudeCore's super awesome sticky post above, he includes a section about staples, and a ton of other very useful info to people who are new to commander. It is 100% worth reading.

Aside from Jenara herself, what kind of stuff/strategies did you want in your deck? The more you tell us, the more specific out recommendations for cards and staples can be!

I want to build a controlling deck with enchantments, both auras and globals. I don't know anything about see stuff. Right now some cards that I have are  {Sol Ring},  {Solemn Simulacrum},  {Sun Titan},  {Sword of Feast and Famine}. I also have some of the other liste cards from Double-O.

Bman0121

 {Stoneforge Mystic} and  {Stonehewer Giant} and powerful equipment like  {Lightning Greaves},  {Darksteel Plate},  {Champion's Helm}, all the swords of,  {Skullclamp},  {Whispersilk Cloak},  {Umezawa's Jitte}
And then also cards like  {Tezzeret the Seeker},  {Steelshaper's Gift},  {Enlightened Tutor} and  {Reshape}. You can play all the artifact lands  {Ancient Den},  {Seat of the Synod},  {Tree of Tales},  {Darksteel Citadel}. Also if artifact based you can play  {Trading Post} and  {Solemn Simulacrum}.

{Sovereigns of Lost Alara} and {Eldrazi Concription} are fun, especially if you have {Rafiq of the Many} with you.

Double-O-Scotch

Strong in the EDH, Gorzo is. Listen to him, you should.

Here's my 1V1 build for commander. After going through some of the cards individually to list I noticed some needed changes. Cards like {ulamog the infinite gyre}!can be taken out.  As good as it is, not sure if it fits.

Looking for recommendations to make it into a more controlling deck. {snapcaster mage} will be added as well.
