I'll bite.
There should be some sort of separate category for ramp/midrange. Throwing in Azusa with Kaalia seems wrong. Also what about stax/punisher/pillow fort?
I've never seen captain sisay utilized well ever as an "aggro" deck. Its a toolbox deck, so definitely more midrange, which plays way less "all in" than aggro.
Best Combo Generals: Sharrum, 5c hermit druid, Arcum Daggson, Ad Nauseum.dec, and Teferi, Mage of Zhafir Best Aggro Generals: Kaalia, Edric, Purphoros, Krenko, and Ezuri Funnest Generals to play with: Norin the Wary, Marath Will of the Wild, Phelddagrif (SPELL IT RIGHT), 5 Color Goodstuff.dec, Riku of two reflections Funnest Generals to play against: Norin the Wary, Zeedru, Karona the False God, Phelddagrif, Mayael the Anima Best Control Generals: Azami Lady of Scrolls, Teferi Mage of Zhafir, Damia Sage of Stone, Draalnu Lich Lord, GAAIV
Things that should be separate IMO: (Maybe in sub categories if you want) Best Midrange/Ramp Generals: Azusa, Omnath, Captain Sisay, Mayael the Anima, Teneb the Harvester Best Voltron Generals: Zur the Enchanter, Uril the Miststalker, Geist of Saint Traft, Thromok the Insatiable Best Stax/Punisher/Pillowfort Generals: Zur the Enchanter, Oloro, Gaddock Teeg, GAAIV, Ruric Thar the Unbowed
I'd suggest changing the voting system. You get 5 votes for each one, but I can vote multiple times for each deck. This might fix some weird stuff going on like 5c hermit druid not being "the best combo deck" when we all know it actually is. But we don't want to vote for it because its one of the least fun decks to play against. That means I can also go 3 votes on one deck 2 votes on another. It could be good.
Here's my list. I'll also try to use generals I haven't seen posted.
Combo: Purphoros
Aggro: Rhys the Redeemed
Most Fun: Merieke Ri Berit
Funnest Against: Maralen of the Mornsong
Control: Merieke Ri Berit
1V1: Merieke Ri Berit
combo: I'll say XHD. Everyone sees sharuum and knows it's combo. XHD comes out of nowhere and provides great recursion for countered ad nauseum, doomsday & pieces, mike/trike, life drain enchantment combo, etc. also hermit druid, sharuum, zur.
aggro: maelstrom wanderer. edric is too easy to reset in multiplayer. MW explodes a lot faster.
control: child of alara. or phelddagrif. or Derevi. depends on the meta.
funnest to play: zirilan of the claw. aka throwing my vote away.
funnest to play against: this is tough....i'll go out of a limb and say niv, because you can count on everyone freaking out about him even though his ability to combo off isn't that hard to disrupt and his recursion is nil, thereby drawing hate away from me.
1v1: i guess edric, whatever. I mean he did get banned.
Best combo generals: Hermit Druid, Sharuum, Arcum, Oona, Niv-Mizzet
Best aggro generals: Krenko, Kaalia, Animar, Rafiq, Edric
Funnest generals to play with: Roon, Norin, Krenko, Maelstrom Wanderer, Ruric Thar
Funnest generals to play against: Zedruu the Greathearted, Pheldagrif, Ruhan, Norin the Wary, Melek
Best control generals: Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Azami, Arcanis, Teferi, Oona
Best 1v1 generals: Edric, Zur, Derevi, Geist, Clique
EDH/Commander is a social format, right? So why don't people use their social skills to discuss what they like and don't like, instead of adopting a list with 60+ banned cards?
hands down best combo general no question is scion... it is the most broken, stupidest, dumbest deck. It is also number 1 on the "least fun to play against" list, and probably could arguably be the only deck on that list, as it is just solitaire.
The only reason I can think that it didn't get more votes, is that people (and they should be very thankful) have never had the misfortune of playing against it, and so don't understand how truly ridiculous the deck is.
For those unfamiliar, google it. Basically someone decided to try and figure out what the most broken combo in the format is (hermit druid into whatever), and then built the deck to do that, and really only that. Every single way of getting hermit druid, I mean every, single, way, in every, single, color is used, and it is just so stupid...
The only way another deck wins is if scion keeps a bad hand, or scion keeps a good hand, and the other keeps a stupid broken hand. But good hand v good hand I'd vote on scion every time. And if scion has a broken hand, nothing can touch it.
Perhaps you can tell I am a little bitter still from my experience against (and online with) the deck. It is so unfun it is impossible to describe unless you have experienced it.
