So I have recently discovered that the only decks I get excited about in commander are ones that include black, and I wish to break my mold. I have three decks that I currently play IRL and the same decks plus four or five that I play on modo. Each one has black commander identity. So I need help from everyone to get me excited about a none black commander. I'm a Johnny Spikish player, however my IRL meta hates on stripped down combo decks.
Try something that completely opposes black's style.... enchanted evening and then enchantment removal...
On a more serious note maybe try making a Naya Aggro deck. personally Gahiji, Honored One hatebears has been one of my favorite decks to build and play.
Not sure if you want to win by eliminating everyone at once or just by being the last guy around when the dust settles. Anyhow, I recommend Xenagos, God of Revels for a generic and broad Goodstuff stompy deck (or Mayael, the Anima of you want more colors) or something like a Voltron/control Derevi, Empyrial Tactician (or Zurgo, even though he is part black) with loads of wraths, spot removal and counterspells to protect/reset if needed.
So currently I'm playing Nekusar Combo, Geth MBC Stax and Sek'Kuar Shaman Tribal. At one point in time I was interested in Gahiji but never thought about the hate bears route. A friend of mine currently has Xenagod, maybe Derevi but she doesn't really seem that exciting to me. Oh and I'm the guy at the table making everyone else's lives miserable.
I think Gahiji Hate bears might be the way to go then that or barrin, master wizard stax as if you like mking people cry...
On Gahiji, I loved the deck. It was resiliant, oppressive, and fun for everyone who played it and played against it. Hell I won with titanic ultimatum a lot... I don't think i've ever had a more fun wincon in a deck.
The only thing that really gets me about the Gahiji hate bears thing is what does red really bring to the table... Don't get wrong I love the colour red, but in a hate bears deck what creatures and effects that are real vent does it v ring? This is where I start to fall off the band Wagon I begin by saying that looks really cool, then I move but it would be better with "insert black card here"... I think I'm really sick. In this case I think what if I used Anafenza she's a hate bear.
Now red doesn't offer the most to hate bears but it does offer an aggressive side to them as a splash color and provides haste, direct damage, and non basic land hate which I love when playing hatebears.
Why don't you stroll through the deck primer listings (here) . The decks with primers do a really good job of breaking down the goal of the deck and all of it's various strategies and card choices. Read a few of these (in non-black) colors and keep a list of a few you like. Think about them for a few days and come back and look at them again before making a decision.
First off, no, you can't, you must play black, I am sorry....
If you want to forsake yourself.... then try izzet! Something involving lots of burn, wheels, spell slinging. It's fun because you can come out of now where and just massacre the world.
I agree. We should all only play g/x decks because they are the most objectively fun and anyone who disagrees does not know the truth about EDH. Everyone should just play their decks because interaction beyond high fiving about how many land are in play is unfun and equivalent to casting Stasis while kicking puppies. I for one will never play with anyone who casts tutors, removal spells, blue cards, things I arbitrarily decide I don't like but will probably cast myself later.
You can go Titania. She is a fun new commander, but the mana base ends up being a bit much. However, winning by a ton of 5/3's is just terrific. You get a ton of value and she is just a blast.
Also, I really like Brago. Brago is a ton of silly fun. Lots of etb tricks, and you can take it any route you want, really. Also, resolving Tezzeret with a guaranteed Brago hit is a win. Get Tangle Wire and Static Orb. gg
Gahiji could be fun, i need a new deck too lol. I've always enjoyed mono G. I absolutely love ramping into ridiculous amounts of mana and overrunning EVERYONE.

Titania is your girl. Seriously, make a build, she is hilariously fun. A free 5/3 for fetching?! You bet. Also, shuts down MLD strats and isn't as traditional green as some decks are.
Anyways thanks in advance for your help cheers!!

stuff likeSarkhan Vol, Stranglehold, ruination, Price of Glory and Purphoros, God of the forge allow you to easily beat people down.

What did you settle on?
