Who/what do you feel are the most fun generals, either in each color(s) or overall?
---
I'm casually working on a bunch Commander decks for my friends and I to use together and really want them to just be fun. I could care less how competitive they are (the only one I'm actually going semi-all out on is my pet Phage the Untouchable deck)--I just want them to be fun.
Currently, I've decided on Phage, Zirilan of the Claw, and maybeDarien, King of Kjeldor, but I want to, at least, have all five colors represented somewhere in there, and should probably try to get at least one or two multicolored decks.
This year, my opponents' deck that most interested me was a Darien deck someone at my store put together. The deck went out of its way to damage itself. Tarnished Citadel in a mono-white deck.
I agree with Knautschke on Experiment Kraj I run him on MWS, and it's hilarious.
Sometimes my opponent asks wtf I'm doing, and my reply will always be 'I haven't got a clue either, really.'
The most "fun" general I have played with so far would probably be Karona.
Being 5 colors means you can create all sorts of shenanigans, and the fact that she gets around the table adds to the shenanigans.
She can also win out of nowhere in many fun ways.
Copy her with Sakashima the Imposter for extra lulz then swing at unwary opponents with Fatal Frenzy and watch as hilarity ensues.
The part I like most about her is that you can build the deck around her in so many different ways and still be general-centric, unlike most generals which require you to follow what is usually a pretty specific route if you want to focus the deck on them.
So you're saying that the only way to have fun is to win?? ...and that you have no friends??
I second Karona as a good times general, and since you already have Phage built, you should add a mono white Akroma deck, a mono red Jeska deck, and a mono green Kamahl deck!! Maybe Ixidor could be your blue guy and that would certainly complete the whole Odyssey/Onslaught story for yah!!
Three packs on Onslaught, PLEASE!!

The first line was sarcastic. The griefer line was just truth. I enjoy using that playstyle, but it does not lend itself to fun games overall, and then no one wants to play against that deck anymore. Which is not fun.
Some people might outright hate the playstyle, so how can we determine a "most fun" general?
I'm all for Norin the Wary as Fun fun fun fun fun #1. (INB4 Gaka)
But in all seriousness, I wholeheartedly agree with my statement. It's not only fun to play, but also to play against, which makes a world of matter in this argument... But again it does depend on your perception of fun, others' perceptions of fun, and the deck build.
Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.
I've switched my Norin to Kiki temporarily and he is amazing and fun.
I'd love to see that list if you post it. The decks of your's I've seen have been well thought out and designed. I'm trying to a put Kiki deck together.
My Cascading Child deck is far and above my favorite. The random card advantage that cascade provides + playing mostly splashy multicolored spells beats out many other strategies that I have tried in terms of fun without griefing

I could try and get a list up and running sometime soon. The deck gets more hate than my Norin and Karador combined because it's so ridiculous!

I just built an Animar, Soul of Elements deck and its fun like woah. Nothing but dudes, lets everyone play what they want to. Thinking of actually dropping a Craw Wurm in it.

Seconded. DramaTurtle, no more suspense!
Also, if it had any other changes from Norin to Kiki besides choice of commander, I'd love to know them.
I almost always enjoy playing Angus Mackenzie. I enjoy being the person who controls the board and playing kingmaker. It's usually a lot more fun compared to winning the game myself 'cause I don't really like going combat phase and swinging and doing combat math.... If anybody tries to conspire against me though, I definitely have ways to fight back...

I do like Fungus decks... Is Thelon of Havenwood fun?

This is one of the dumber topics I've seen as we all disagree on fun. Playing the griefer is tons of fun but losing your friends because of it is not.

Because the title of the thread is simplified and the purpose of this thread is to discuss which ones you personally feel are fun.
