Which do you think is the strongest color combination in EDH? I'm not talking about powerful commanders, I'm talking about the colors themselves.

I'm personally a fan of Bant colors.
{u}{w}{g}

Blue provides those powerful counter spells and card draw advantages.
Green provides much needed mana ramp and big stompys.
White provides great removal.

Black and red have their own advantages but to me they simply aren't as strong as the others.

What do you think?

All colors really have advantages in different ways. I think the weakest mono-color is probably white. Overall I think it depends highly on what you're doing, but BUG is probably strongest, or Esper. Black and Blue have the most broken cards, followed by Green. It stands to reason if you mash them together you'll get something.

I like BUG too. I am so used to having white in my decks though, the removal spells like {path to exile}, {swords to plowshares} and {condemn} have spoiled me.

If the wedges had more commanders, {R}{W}{B} would own commander in my opinion

I think Esper is best. I has amazing removal and counterspells along with lots of fun tricks.

Seconded. Not to mention how it interacts with artifacts better than other combinations.

5 color goodstuff. There, now nobody else has to say it. But really I am a believer in 5 color edh. With perfect mana and access to every card legal in edh, why not salvage the best of all colors?

Well,you might break your balls over what to put in your deck if you go 5-color.

I play black white in commander as it favors my play style! I use a  {Teysa, Orzhov Scion} EDH deck! So for me they are the most powerful! But if I played with the other colours more I may change my mine!

Bant. Easily. EtB effects guarantee you get the most out of casting a creature spell. And then you flicker it. While I personally don't play as many etb effects as I could in my Rafiq deck, I still have a ton.

bgw becuz of how many combos to get big creatures  {Chorus of the Conclave}  and {Corpsejack Menace} for example

I'm in the process of making an EGGS! ( ;) ) EDH deck.

{R}{U}{G} I think is the best...you get to use cards like {Sneak Attack}, {Show and Tell}, and {Survival of the Fittest} together. Get to use {Maelstrom Wanderer} and {Riku of Two Reflections} to make things more unfair. You get combo, aggro, and control all in one package.

I agree, another good one (probs just as good as rug) is bug. Access to blue and black makes things broken as hell with extra turns, counters, removal, and well, necropotence. Toss in damia as a commander and you're set.
