Excues me I am a very casual level of player and I really want to create my own Commander Deck:
can anyone point me to where the "List of all Possible Commanders" thread? I cant seem to find it.
Also I need help in creating my own commander deck; I already have the Oloro, Ageless Ascetic and Prossh, Skyraider of Kher preconstructed decks. But I feel that there is a more :fun for me" deck if i create it from scratch.
What I Like
- I like drawing cards. The act of drawing cards from my deck makes me feel good. more than winning even, drawing is the best feeling in magic for me.
- Big creatures or swarms of creatures.
- I like black. everything about it.
- I like spells big and flashy. I like casting lots of things in a single turn. Feels like firing a barrage of spells or one super powerful Lazer.
- But I do not like "looping" things or "oops I win because i have two cards". I dislike infinite loops. they make me feel cheaty and feels underhanded
- That in mind, i really dislike being infinite looped or instakilled.
I really feel B. I just wonder what colors should I pick as my support color.
Black - Green - Blue seems to be your alley. Let's go step by step.
- You like drawing cards. Blue got you covered. Green and Black are no slouches either, though you can forego most Black drawpower as Blue's tends to be better, Green is more specific.
- Big/Swarms of creatures. This is where Green comes in, and where it's drawpower works.
- You like black. So we got black.
- Big and flashy spells. Have you seen Villainous Wealth? Genesis Wave? Those two seem to be perfect for you.
- You do not like to loop. This is where you gotta watch out, BUG has a considerable number of infinite combos. But they're easy to avoid.
- You dislike opponents infinite looping/instakilling. Well, you're in Blue. Problem solved.
I'm going to say the best commander for you is probably either Leovold, Emissary of Trest or Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Both leave you pretty open in their applications. Tasigur is probably the more "open-ended" choice of the two, he can refuel you whenever you're running low on card.
Don't forget to pack Prime Speaker Zegana in your deck.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Sultai do seem like the colors for you. However, the choice of commanders there is quite limited. Simic would also fit all your criteria except being black. Kruphix, God of Horizons, for example, just LOVES decks that draw tons of cards and cast the biggest spells you can find.
Sultai seems very good to me, and I think Damia, Sage of Stone looks awesome but maybe Leovold, Emissary of Trest is a safer choice. I really would feel terrible if my seven mana Damia gets removed or countered. Leovold seems safer but Damia looks "I ARE EVIL" I guess I'll get both.
I'll start digging up my Sultai cards from the closet then. Thanks guys

MtG is where you can hate white players or black players, and still not be racist.

Also, in this link: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/204408-commander-decklist-database You can find decklists for (nearly) all possible commanders to give you some ideas. It's sorted by colour combo as well.
