{Force of Will}. All of your opinions and thoughts are invalid.
*enchantment that makes my creatures uncounterable*. All your FOW are invalid.

FOW that enchantment. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
*puts on brass nuckles and hits you as you cast it* DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE?

top 5 scariest generals (imo)
1. {azami, lady of scrolls}
2. {nekusar, the mindreader}
3. {zur, the enchanter}
4. {maelstrom wanderer}
5. {narset, enlightened master}

Except narset out blitzes all of them.

Have you ever seen a maelstrom ramp deck..? I think he can easily be played just as fast as narset, if not faster

He can, but playing him does not immediately win the game.

playing narset doesnt cause you to win immediately either.
You will have a haste source out, swing, get infinite turns, 21 commander damage.

Yes.  Yes it does.

Well that answers it folks. 100% of the time when Narset gets cast, Insta-win. GG. List complete. Idk why we're still talking when it's obvious that Narset beats all.

But I can ramp scion into t3 and kill you before you cast your commander

He is also a dragon so like 5999000 cool points over narset who is a boring monk.

Maelstrom gets a lot of cool points too because its all elementy and stuff

Wanderer is actually a bigger "I win" than narset. If you cast narset there are still answers. Wanderer is a threat himself that carries two other threats with him that you still get even if he's countered. Especially with the printing of the new anti hexproof land wanderer is better.

I'll just play  {Chains of Mephistopheles} with  {Teferi's Puzzle Box}... Unless your first draw is an instant destroy one of my two, everyone gets locked out...
Then Nekusar slowly kills you all...

I could see replacing Xenagos for azami, but there's no way Kaalia doesn't deserve to be on the list. If I had to cut that 10 down to 5, she'd still be on it, she's that strong.

This ^
Kaalias problem is she is extremely weak to an extremely wide range of hate. 2 counterspells, removal spells, etc mean game over

This argument is invalid, all commanders are vulnerable to some sort of removal (try naming one that isn't) and as for counterspells, there are very few commanders that can't be countered

I see both sides, but Narset IS hexproof. No condemn. No Path, no Swords. Boardwipe or nothing. But I don't believe Narset is the end all be all. This game is a huge Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. No one idea trumps any other in edh. Luck is SUCH a huge factor. I've had people with .poo. Edh decks trump me, and others. Game to game is very different. So here's what I say


Everyone: No need to harass Taysby.

Taysby: We get it. You like Narset. I like the Mimeoplasm. They are what they are. You can stop acting superior.

Just get along

You guys started arguing over the best general which is not at all what this was meant to be. Go fight about it somewhere else.

(P.S. Zedruu is the best)

My list
1    {Azami, Lady of Scrolls}
2    {Maelstrom Wanderer}
3.    {Zur the Enchanter}
4.    {Prossh, Skyraider of Kher}
5.    {Sharuum the Hegemon}

MuggyWuggy

Actually spirit of the labyrinth + possibility storm will shut down maelstrom and narset.
Narset dies to anger of the gods
Scion does not

Agrajagzz9

Narest is good but not unbeatable. In magical Xmas land you can always have haste. Barest doesn't make thins uncounterable. Doesn't make things unbeatable. Relax no general is perfect. I hope you get hindered some day and durdle until you get killed.

{Edric, Spymaster of Trest} 😜

We should all meet up for an FFA, first to die would be narset by taysby
