New to commander

[Vindog]

I am looking for suggestions for making a commander deck from the ground up. This is my first commander deck and I am on a budget so please keep it reasonable.

Well the first thing you need to do is figure out what is your favorite color scheme. Then pick a legendary commander from there.

[KILLERBEE]

If you're new you should probably try to stick to one or two colours. Red is usually the cheapest.

I was thinking either naya or jund for three colors or rakdos gruul or Boros for 2 color I like aggro. Any suggestions for commanders I've only been playing since rtr so I don't know many of the older cards.

Same here I've played only from rtr block to but I started playing commander about a week a go with a budget uril the mistalker deck and a budget riku of the two reflections deck there two really good commanders for beginners that I found

[Vindog]

Could you put the creatures and suggestions in curly brackets?

[Rpbarber]

The easiest way to get into commander on a budget is buy one of the pre-made commander sets and then just change out cards from there. It gives you the basis for a fun commander deck and gets you into the format without having to personally piece together 100 cards.

What site sells premade commander decks? And how much are they?

Precons are in the hundreds nowadays. There going to have 5-new Precons before the end of the summer I believe. They may be announced at ComicCon (along with Theros spoilers).

I'd just wait for the new precons or build a pauper EDH deck and upgrade it periodically.

I had no idea that they had gone up that much. Just saw them on eBay for almost $200 for some of them that's crazy. Yeah just wait until the new precon decks come out or pick mono color or a two color commander.

You can still get em on Magic Online for MSRP. Which is one of the many benefits. Also, if you've started recently, or as far back as Innistrad - you can make a good EDH decks out of standard cards. {U}{B} Zombies/Dimir with either {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born}, {Havengul Lich} or {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind}

Pretty much all the the new RTR legendary creatures make for awesome commanders and this block as a load of awesome EDH cards as well

 {Master of Cruelties} lol he's a .wiener.!

{obliterate} is a wiener!

RTR block improved my commander decks significantly. The guilds offered many tasty color combinations. One of my favourite is {teysa, envoy of ghosts}. My friend uses {tajic, blade of the legions} which has awesome possibilities.
