Hydra

all this descusion has led me to the desision to make a hydra deck with kruphix

A smart choice. I myself did the same last week but it has a lot of nonhydras as well

Yes! it's awesome. Blue lets me draw into the hydras, and I win by swarming them with massive hydras after an {Upheaval} or overloaded {Cyclonic Rift} or even off of {Helix Pinnacle}. Haha. Really fun deck. If you're going straight hydras maybe {Animar} is a better commander if I can't convince you that {Kruphix} is best, he's a ton of fun as well.

And also I'm gonna change what I said earlier. I think you should try out {Xenagos}. While I disagree that he's a better commander than some of the others suggested, I've been thinking about it a bit.

It's EDH, it's not meant to be competitive (generally); you can do what you want. I hate this little phrase but it applies: You do you.
If you like {Xenagos}, go for it. Do the deck that you will find to be the most fun- that's the deck you want to stick with. We can give you pointers, but I believe that when people pick a new commander, it should be a highly personally decision. We can present arguments and show you cards you might not have been aware of, but it's up to you in the end. Do the one that resonates with you! You have room to experiment. It's EDH.

When I first started playing at FNM, I was looked down upon for my homebrews. At first, yeah, they were pretty bad. G/W Angels in Mirrodin/Avacyn standard was not a good deck to be running 😜 but I kept doing homebrews and eventually they were both a) competitive and b) fun to me personally.

So go with what commander you like the most, and I at least will do my best to suggest cards I think would fit! Remember that EDH is supposed to be fun!

This is some great advice and I couldnt agree more. +1

Loved what is said here. Leaving it at

[Ptsgpbk]

i know what hydras to run etc, are you able to give me cheap alternatives to shock/scrylands apart from guildgates(which i have already included), i dont care if they are old i just need some duel lands to make the deck be flexable?

[FustyDavorite]

There's a huge list of everything you need stickied at the top in the comprehensive guide to commander. It's a fantastic resource.

[Ptsgpbk]

i also might run red/green/blue

[Ptsgpbk]

just trying to get my head around kruphix, for example, if i tapped 2 islands and 2 forests but did not use the mana produced, does that mean i would get 4 colorless mana? if so, how do i represent it?

[FustyDavorite]

You just have to state that there's floating colorless in your mana pool. It sits there until it is expended or otherwise removed, like with  {Mana Short}. And yes, you'd have 4 colorless in that scenario

[Ptsgpbk]

so the colorless mana is there until spent or emptied by opponent spell, also couldnt i use a d20 or so to measure it?

[AdamS]

yes.

and almost all the hydras that i think are good have an {X} in the cost so that extra mana that is stored is really going to help your hydras out so if you dont use kruphix you should use {Omnath, Locus of Mana} because he gives you the same potentialy destructive force and he does save the color (only green) and getts bigger as you store more mana

[Ptsgpbk]

Just been looking over things, would a Selesnya token/hydra deck work?
If so I was thinking if having trostani as a general

[MarduArrow]

So many options, use progenitus, then you can run kruphix, xenagos, trostani,  {Ajani, Mentor of Heroes} and anything else you want
