I'm trying to get into EDH, so obviously I need a Commander....does anyone have recommendations? I want either a female or a dragon, here are some of the ones that caught my eye earlier:
{Teysa, Orzhov Scion}
{Iona, Shield of Emeria}
{Jaya Ballard, Task Mage}
{Azusa, Lost but Seeking}
{Sisters of Stone Death}
{Intet, the Dreamer}

The last two are the ones I am considering most right now, but I have no idea what I'm doing so any help is greatly appreciated! ;)

If you're considering {Sisters of Stone Death}, I'd say look into {Damia, Sage of Stone} as well. She's nasty, still a Gorgon, let's you play Sisters still, and let's you play blue. Again it all depends on your play style, but I personally have often debated on whether or not to build me a Damia list, she seems pretty killer.

Or if you want dragons, go with The Lord of All Dragons, Lord Bolas himself
{Nicol Bolas}

As opposed to Intet you may wanna try riku. Copy a bribery? Yes please. 2 BLIGHTSTEELS? Thanks Riku!!!! Oh wow a copied time stretch.. I would LOVE to take 4 more turns where I'll probably draw into more take an extra turn spells.. Yea. Riku. He's pretty good.

You want a female commander? {Kaalia of the Vast}. Boom, get your dragons for free (also angels and demons)

Did you mean: {Scion of the Ur Dragon}
Also {Animar Soul of Elements}

If you want a dragon EDH commander look at
{karrthus, tyrant of jund}. He seems pretty cool giving all of your dragons haste.

Also for a female commander look at {glissa, the traitor}. She can be wicked!

I'm sorry dude. You've been bit. It's by far the worst addiction you'll contract in this game. I own 5 EDH decks currently, working in my sixth.

A card that may be easily available that is a good female would be {Alesha who Smiles at Death}

Flavor is a great element in choosing your EDH deck, you can have a spiky deck, but if its all tribal combos and unique synergies, it's way more fun for everyone.

AKA make a tribal dragon deck...
