So, I have developed a few EDH decks. One was an insane reanimation monstrosity that would almost always immediately win- or if against three very strong decks with answers be able to rally together and win- another was a planes walker doubling season/extra turn deck. Basically both those decks were too strong and taught us to ban that kind of reanimation and extra turns.
I built a zombie deck that can destroy people but has difficulty recovering, and a very solid Karametra deck that I am happy with for where our playgroup is at.
What I want at this point is a control deck, potentially a fun one involving the vote cards. The thing is the deck needs some kind of win condition and a commander. Anyone have any suggestions? I've got a lot of blue control staples already so I will definitely want them involved.
I'd be open minded to stepping out of mono blue for voting/multiplayer themed cards if there aren't enough. Its not that it needs to be strictly a voting deck per se, but have interesting multiplayer cards in general.
Going more U/B/x control with Dralnu, Lich Lord or Tasigur, the Golden Fang can also be interesting in multiplayer: Oh, that's a threat to your board? What if I took care of that for you? Curse of the Cabal, if you like Archenemy. Hope this helps!
I spent a long long time trying to build a UW control deck. It was supprisingly difficult to do. I built a deck to try and kill off combos in doing so I also removed most of my own win condition options. I ended up with a planeswalker centric deck since they act as win conditions, card advantage and board control.
Right now, I use my general Dragonlord Ojutai to beat people to death and my control to slow everyone down long enough for Ojutai to finish the job. Like a very slow tempo deck. He is hexproof, draws me cards and finished off a player in 4.5 turns, only need a pump once (such as from Always watching and Ajani steadfast)
I did use Isperia, Supreme Judge as the general until Ojutai was printed. Despite her 4 toughness problem she is actually supprisingly good. As a 6 power flyier she can win fast her ability helped to give me cards when I played my planeswalkers and forced people to deal with them. I tried a lot of different generals and ended up back on her... until Ojutai was printed.

Stepping out of mono blue, Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper is a bigger Talrand, although you may end up using card slots on the land matters aspect instead of control or multiplayer shenanigans. Isperia, Supreme Judge and Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer are fun. U/W opens up goodies like Council's Judgment, Soul Snare, Armistice, and Act of Authority.
