My favorite strategy in Commander is Voltron. I have to admit that I’m a bit partial to my generals as characters, and so my favorite thing to do is make them stronger. Even making a deck like Damia stax or Dralnu, I can’t resist adding cards that just make my general a little bit cooler on the field, such as Viridian Longbow or Pemmin's Aura, as the case may be.
My most played color is White, both because it offers some generals that are really good at attacking, and because it offers the best protection cards and equipment tutors. Blue is a close second because it has some really good protection cards also. It doesn’t quite fit that well though, because my favorite Legends as characters are usually Black, like Haakon, Dralnu, and Kresh. Their art tends to always have weapons, but they their colors are way worse than White at helping me with equipments. Too bad.
Favorite legendary card all-time for flavor - Unscythe, Killer of Kings. Will run it in every Grixis deck I build.
I enjoy running themed and synergistic decks. Being on a budget helps keeping the good stuff feel down quite a bit. I don't look at staples as must have inclusions for my decks, they have to feel right in them. My biggest downfalls are that I generally end up with little answers and protection in my lists due to trying to be synergistic or on theme.
In every format I play, I love breaking symmetrical effects. In Modern, my favorite card is Smallpox. In cube, I tend to build decks based around cards like Balance, Wildfire, Upheaval, etc.
My current main EDH deck is Kami, built on abusing Howling Mine effects. My next deck will be Mina and Denn with a bunch of Mana Flares.
I also tend to enjoy resource denial and decks with lots of answers. It kills me to see people playing Rhys, for example, with 36 lands and 63 cards that interact with the token theme. I've played against GW decks that have a grand total or three ways to get rid of artifacts and enchantments. Really?
