Thank you guys! I'm going to go to my local game store and see which ones are available! I want to start building this as soon as I can.
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.
Oh dear.....I think I feel it happening 😳

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.
What is a spiky deck?

I have 17 EDH decks logged on this app and there were many more pre-iMtG. Love me some EDH.

I've constructed about 12 and after time passed I've only really enjoyed playing with about 6 of them.

(Uril is too oppressive and fast)
(Green is just big beats)
(Esper control is just long)
Even slivers...


Now my other decks...
5 color Dragons
GwToken combo infinite life gain
GB Sac the board state if needed
UB Mill
5 Color Gods Elves and Eldrazi (FLAVOR)
WUG Jenara tribal enchant angels

Those are fun!

I have... Two...

And they are both trash, so I'm working on tuning up my Oloro list (read: I'm copying DudeCore's list).

Ahh you're ok don't worry.

But yes it's very addicting, currently my decks are :

{Sidisi, Brood Tyrant} - Zombie tribal
{Marchesa, the Black Rose} -Grixis aggro/tempo
{Zurgo Helmsmasher} - Stax
{Muzzio, Visionary Architect} - Artifact shenanigans

rarehuntertay

I have one: {Nekusar}
It started as budget, but throught a year has gotten expensive... All the legal fetches,  {Mana Crypt},  {Chains of Mephistopheles},  {Timetwister}... Yeah, it's an addiction.
We need EDHA: EDH anonymous lol

When I started playing Magic a little over 2 years ago, this is where I found the most assistance for building commander decks. And I fell in love. In about a 13 month period I had foiled out an {animar, soul of elements} deck and had 7 other commander decks. No matter what you chose to build, make sure you enjoy playing it and same goes for those playing with you. If no one else likes it, you will start to not enjoy it.

So I decided on Emmara Tandris because if I combine her and Elspeth, Sun's Champion in a deck..... 👌👌👌 and the best part is I actually was able to trade for her just hours after I decided I wanted her, so it worked out great! Thanks for all the help/advice!

Honestly (not meaning to sound rude) but Emmera is not a good general. She requires you to be building a token deck to be useful. Go with {Trostani Selesnya's Voice}. Same colours, better ability, combos with things more consistently, cheaper (mana wise), and does not require a token theme to be good. Also, Emmera can be included in the deck!

D: Ugh, seriously?? Well.....I just spent like three hours building this stupid deck and already made a lot of trades with a token based deck in mind x) my friend told me Emmara was really good, I'm kinda mad at him right now ;) I think he just wanted me to trade him my Crux of Fate.....
