The first one i would recommend is

Jhoira of the Ghitu
Cards i would recommend with her
Time Stretch, with anarchist
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur with Venser's Journal
Jokulhaups before suspending everything you have and then again anarchist while her enchanted with Fool's Demise
don't forget Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Omen machine wich lock the opponents game.

And of course these two you need Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth.

there is so much more but i would just be posting my edh with her...

Is such a fun deck....

Four possible generals and cards that go with them:

Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder with Viscera seer, Fallen Angel/Nantuko Husk/Vampire Aristocrat/Bloodthrone Vampire, Attrition, Blood Funnel, Skullclamp, Dread Return, and Mortician Beetle.

Captain Sisay with Reki, the History of Kamigawa, Yomiji, Who Bars the Way, Day of Destiny, Champion's Helm, and Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper.

Rosheen Meanderer with X cost spells (Hydras and Fireballs)

(my favorite) Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant with Palace Guard, Pariah, High Ground, Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo, Kjeldoran Royal Guard, and Weathered Bodyguards.

Both interesting ideas...Any other people?

Well what about Zur the Enchanter

Sometimes i play against him and it gets annoying, but so annoying.

And worse he is black white and blue so it gets day of judgement damnation wrath of god, Austere Command, Life's Finale,Phyrexian Rebirth, Plague Wind, Decree of Pain
Kirtar's Wrath, Rout, and finnaly and worse with this deck

Winds of Rath, yes i have friends that make weird commander decks, the deck has counter draw and mass removals, ..... a lot

The other day

I played two commander decks
one slivers had sliver overlord has a comander, was very aggro very fast for commander, and had two main combos
1st Training Grounds had the altar sliver queen and that sliver that when you sacrifice a sliver you can destroy target permanent so after you get then all in the table you can sweep the game of everithying that does not have shroud hexprof or is indestructable
( gladly i had a ulamog and a jokulhaups suspended at one and i had removed from game(sincopate) the sliver that gives haste)

the other combo is overlord with the crit changeling that gives a creature type to other creature and then you can take control with the overlord(is the second game i saved my mental misstep for the training grounds)

The other was a BIG BLUE
with arcanis

i ONLY MANAGED to see one combo once but we all lost to it the fist time we saw it, was with the commander and mind over matter it had kozilek ulamog and the elixir of immortality, he played arcanis and passed the other turn myself and the sliver player were concentrated in each other decks and forgot the third player!!!! noob mistake!!!

he played on the next turn mind over matter i countered and he played force of will.... he won on that turn!!!! infinite mana !!! killed us with braingeyser!!!

fun

I also saw a few more but those three were the best

for example oothers i saw Mayael the Anima had nice creatures good removal balanced sinergy but got kicked easily

i had a friend playing with a mono black kill and ressurect with the new black praetor it had amazing control and was supposed to win the torunment it was nice also but got trashed by zur!!!

saw a traximundar commander kill and sacrifice deck good combinations but didnt do much, all the wizards new commanders decks got trashed except for ghave the ghuru of spores.

There was a teysa and a sisay but didnt saw theyr deck!!

try arcum dagsson, you can play lots of mana generating artifact, search for a mycosynth lattice and then play march of the machines and then bash with your animated solring for the win.
and that is not the only combo, you can also use karn instead of the march to blow up lands for one colorless.
you can also search for vedalken shackles when you got enough islands.
and you can use token generators like myr turbine, nuissance engine or myr matrix for sacrifice fodder

I have a (or had until a few days ago) Horobi, Death's Wail EDH deck and I've never seen anyone use him. It doesn't take much to break him :)

One of my oldest EDH decks uses Sygg, River Cutthroat. The concept was to make a deck that was pure card advantage. I've been playing the deck for a few years now and it's really good. I need to discard almost every turn if I don't have Reliquary Tower.
My kills are Oona, Queen of the Fae and Geth, Lord of the Vault. The printing of Necrotic Ooze was very good for the deck as it acted like a second Oona or Geth but better.
The deck performs very well in both multiplayer games as one on one.

Olivia Voldaren with Attrition, Grave Pact, Diabolic Intent, Rite of Consumption and other sacrifice mechanics.

For a little while I ran a Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile MWC deck with equipment tutors and deathtouch granting equipments, which was pretty fun, but recently I've taken it apart (for the sleeves) to build this:

Darien, King of Kjeldor with Eldrazi Monument, Suture Priest, Auriok Champion, Soul's Attendant, Soul Warden, Grand Coliseum, City of Brass, Nomad Stadium, Tarnished Citadel, Ancient Tomb, Mana Vault, Jinxed Idol, and Mindstorm Crown.

Phew.. that was quite a list >.> I'm going to end it with Darien. I have more to suggest, but we're heading into town to check out the flood damage /-: (And they hyped up Hurricane Irene like it was the end of the world.. Tropical Depression Lee was way worse! 56 hours of nonstop rain.)

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born
(previewed in Innistrad)

Use Syphon Flesh, Butcher of Malakir, Endrek Sahr Master Breeder, Pawn of Ulamog, Rooftop Storm, Grave Pact, Army of the Damned, and miscellaneous "creatures I want to sacrifice", especially recurry zombies.

Heartless Hidetsugu in conjunction with Overblaze, Furnace of Rath, Gratuitous Violence, and / or Quest for Pure Flame -- every player at an even life total dies.

Arcanis the Omnipotent + Mind Over Matter -- draw until your heart is content.

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye / Curiosity -- machine gun effect.

I've always wanted to see an EDH using Rhys the Redeemed. I've never played EDH, so I don't know what'd be good, but I'd imagine lots of creature token production, mass creature pump (Beastmaster Ascension, etc) and a lot of mana acceleration.

Just in case you ever decide to play, Rhys token hordes are super effective but need a lot of protecting. It's very easy to destroy all tokens between Engineered Explosives, Ratchet Bomb, Pernicious Deeds... etc. 's why Eldrazi Monument is so damn important :)

Y'know, Rhys is one I've always wanted to do, but never got around to. I'll definitely add him to the list.

I guess great minds think alike. I just built a Rhys EDH last night, and put it on here this morning. Liked it so much, I was going to suggest SWN try it out, and lo and behold, some of my favorite people beat me to the punch. =P Anyways, here it is: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=231527

A "troll" themed deck with Thrun, the last Troll as commander.

cards: Worldslayer, nature's will + static/winter orb and seedborn muse to untap your crap. Annoying cards like elephant grass, sphere of resistance, ect. green has many more annoying cards than you'd think. oh and include bone saw, just for kicks.

Thraximundar is personally my favorite, i just put a pretty powerful deck together with him that's full of all kinds of fun combos.

http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=232522

here's the link if you want some ideas

lol well I actually just made an EDH for Thraximundar. And with Rhys as #2 and Oona as #3 (Seth gave me the idea sorta)...That leaves just one more to suggest! :eek:

Burmp...

Still unsure what/who to make as my 10th General

Cromat. Why not make a five color?

If not, I'd like to see a Jor Kadeen eddie.

Blightsteel Colossus, 5 Swords Cycle, Mycosynth Golem, Mycosynth Lattice, Kaldra Cycle, Godo, Bone Saw, Ornithopter, Sunforger, Elspeth's, Decree of Justice, Hero of Bladehold, Martial Coup, Rise of Hobgoblins, Angels with Lifelink (Exalted Angel, Baneslayer), Mistmeadow Skulk, etc......

For number 10 you could use Sakashima the Impostor. I think for the theme you could use spells and creatures that copy part / all of the abilities of the opponent's permanents / spells. Just an idea that I thought'd be fun :p

Eh, one of my buddies already runs that dude (or is it a chick? Can't remember...). It's a fun deck though, especially for EDH, for that exact reason, it essentially plays bits and pieces of everyone else's decks...

Grrr...

Sun Quan, Lord of Wu:
Legendary Creature - Human Soldier 4/4, 4UU (6)
Creatures you control have horsemanship. (They can't be blocked except by creatures with horsemanship.)

>.>
First of all, is he legal to play? There's nothing against it, but having a card that basically makes all your creatures unblockable seems kinda broken...

Some good synergy:
1. Neurok Commando
2. Quietus Spike
3. Raven Guild Master
4. Scroll Thief
5. Slith Strider
6. Sphinx Ambassador
7. Spellbinder
8. Any of the "Sword of ___ and ___" cards.

Eh, that's pretty damn cheesy...Not sure I'd really enjoy using a guy like him. Still, it is pretty odd that he's so unused in EDH...Horsemanship to everything is kinda crazy.

Meh, I specialize in troll decks and quick decks. Here's what I would call a troll deck using Empress Galina:

Legendary Creature - Merfolk 1/3, 3UU (5)
{U}{U}, {T}: Gain control of target legendary permanent. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)

[QUOTE=dagbaker]Man, my Momir Vig eddie is such a troll! I love it![/QUOTE]

Speaking of which, I've added all the generals that my friends use as well. Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer is such a damn trolly general...actually, all of Arty's Generals are trolls...:mad:

Haha, Arty's awesome! I've had a Stonebrow eddie, but I got tired of it and used the cards elsewhere... mostly in my Incoming! edh. What are the generals you're considering right now?

Or a general that can search out any card in your library? I'm surprised that Sisay is used so little...

Legendary Creature - Human Soldier 2/2, 2WG (4)
{T}: Search your library for a legendary card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

No search cost or anything, just tap and go.

I'm still considering Vorosh and Nicol Bolas...but they aren't the only one's I'm considering...=/

:(

I wanna use my box....

use vorosh already. we all know he is who you really want. :)

Just had an idea. It's more for the deck than for a general. Seeing that you can only have 1 of each card in the deck, why not make all the non basic land permanents all legendary or things that affect legends? You would end up making most of it out of cards from the Kamigawa block as the most cards that care about legends is from that block. Just a though :p

[QUOTE=DoTheWumpus]use vorosh already. we all know he is who you really want. :)[/QUOTE]

>_>

Yeah...just remind me to avoid Arty's Sakashima and/or Matt's Kalitas...That would really suck =P
