Im actually running tribal zombies... though my general Teneb the harvester isn't exactly a zombie... he fits the colors and even follows the standard recursion theme. Me and a few of my friends have taken to playing some EDH tribal and to be fair its fun... helps to keep a casual variant format "casual" while still pushing the creative deck construction limits.

Personally, I'd go with Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero. You're limited to mono w rebels sure, but I'm sure there are more than enough and she makes for a very functional deck.
1) I would like to vote against Sliver Overlord as a general since he goes against one of the things I love about EDH. He makes your games very similar to each other since you can always search for what you need. I dunno, I just dont like him.
2) Bladewing The Risen is a good dragon general especially since black and red have almost all of the good dragons.
Some sweet Soldier stuff coming out in M10 too. It could be like a resistant elf deck.
Just an FYI on Darien:
Darien & Soul Warden (unfortunatly not a soldier) = you take no damage.
Technically you do take damage, and then you make it back up. Just make sure the damage you take wouldn't be lethal because you'd die before the life-gain ability could resolve

Actually, it's not as good in a format like EDH where you have Generals swinging that can easily get 21 lethal, regardless of your life.
Horde of Notions (Elementals)
Marrow Knawer (Rats)
Darien (Soldiers)
Azami (Wizards)
Sliver Overlord (Slivers)
Rhys, or something (Elves)
And then I could do something related to the general, but that the general doesnt directly affect, like snakes or helllion-hydras or something
What do you think?
Seems like the best of the lot to me, sans slivers, which is pretty popular.
EDH: WEight-and-a-half-tailsW
EDH: U/ Dralnu, Lich Lord B/
Extended:U/ Fish U/
The best of the bunch? Azami is pretty much EDH Tier 1, as well as Sliver Overlord.

First posted EDH deck: Hakim, Beardmaster
Slivers are pretty good too b/c of Overlord, but the gobos can go nuts more consistently.
