So, I didn't really see a thread for this, so I thought I should make one.  This will just be a place for people to list what EDH decks they have built, share the Archetype and maybe tell a little about the deck.  So if anyone doesn't want to make a whole thread about one of them, they can still share it!  Also, it'll help give a better idea of what people around here play.

My current decks are:

{W}{G} {Krond the Dawn-Clad} - Voltron/Enchantress Combo
The focus of the deck is to kill people with enchantments.  Whether that means suiting up a creature with insane amounts of Auras or making ridiculous numbers of tokens off of {Sigil of the Empty Throne} or {Heliod, God of the Sun}.  The deck runs every 'Enchantress' effect it can ("Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, draw a card") to generate card advantage and loop low-cost enchantments to draw more of them.

{B}{U} {Vela the Night-Clad} - Combo
Krond's nemesis, lore-wise, and completely different in deck construction.  Vela's main win condition, now, is through the use of {Doomsday} to set up a winning five-card pile that goes for either {Laboratory Maniac} or the {Sanguine Bond}/{Exquisite Blood} combo.  Most of the control aspects of the deck are just board wipes and cheap counterspells, so I can protect my combo when it happens with things like {Force of Will} and {Pact of Negation}.

{W}{R}{B} {Oros, the Avenger} - Punisher/"Socially Unacceptable EDH"
This deck was literally built as an experiment.  It runs board wipes.  It runs mass discard.  It runs mass land destruction.  And it's terrible at doing it.  I just wanted to build a deck that was literally everything that most 'casual' EDH players complain about.  Of the twelve or so cards in the colors with the text 'Destroy all lands', it runs around nine of them, including a sweet Portal {Armageddon}.  The deck likes to deal damage through cards like {Repercussions}, {Dingus Staff} and {Dingus Egg} while blowing everything up.

{G}{R} {Borborygmos Enraged} - Aggro (With a hint of Combo)
Originally, this guy was built with 60 lands, but was cut down to 40.  The main goal of the deck is to ramp n to Angry Barbie. Smash face, throw lands and kill people.  It runs a few beaters, such as {Ruric Thar, the Unbowed}, {Spellbreaker Behemoth} and {Countryside Crusher}, as well as tons of equipment to power up Barbie, like {Illusioniist's Bracers}, {Sword of Kaldra}, and for the really obnoxious opponents that just need to die, {Grafted Exoskeleton}.  The deck also features combo elements like {Life from the Loam} with Cycling lands and {Snake Umbra}, and a near-Infinite combo with {Snake Umbra} and {Abundance}.

And finally...

{U}{W}{G} {Phelddagrif} - Group Hug!
The hippo just wants to hug people, that's all!  Providing extra cards and mana to speed the game along, all while being a politician to manipulate everyone else in to killing each other, then preventing any of them from dying.  The deck does still aim to win, however.  The main, and Favorite, condition for the deck is a goofy enchantment called {Barren Glory}.  The deck tries to either stick it under an {Oblivion Ring}, then cast an insane card I found called {Worldpurge}.  The important card of Purge's text is that you can keep UP to seven cards in your hand.  You shuffle them all away, Oblivion Ring brings back Glory and bam, you just have to hope no one has one-mana answers to an enchantment.  You can also use {Leyline of Anticipation} or {Alchemist's Refuge} to cast purge in response to Glory.

So, those are decks that I currently have built in paper.

Other generals that I have built, most of which have disassembled to help build up the Big 5:
{Maelstrom Wanderer} Ramp
{Genju of the Realm} Lands
{Yeva, Nature's Herald} Smashy
{Eight-and-a-Half-Tails} Enchantress/Pillow Fort
