So, I am going to be building 7 EDH's, each with a playstyle representing one of the 7 deadly sins. I already have finished Greed, Gluttony is a few cards from completion, then I start on sloth. I need your suggestions on the generals and playstyles I could use for the remaining four sins These decks will have the ability to play nice, or be outright douchey. And as such I have decided to leave Azusa as Gluttony. (omnomnomnath is good and all, but 8 lands on turn 3 or 4 seems pretty good.)
Right now it is:
Greed - Dralnu, Lich Lord - Steal everyone else's things. (The point behind the theft in greed is, He wants it, and as such he will rip it from your cold, dead hands.)
5 Color Cromat with tons of tutoring that doesn't reveal the card. Play a few classic playing cards, a couple Uno Draw 4s (Ancestral Recall eat your heart out), some basic Pokemon for defense, a Get Out of Jail Free card, and have assembling all five pieces of Exodia be your win condition. People will flip because EXODIA!? IMPOSSIBLE! NOBODY'S EVER BEEN ABLE TO SUMMON HIM!

Envy seems more like the "Steal everyone else's things" Sin. Dralnu works, but so does just about any UBx general, particularly Sen Triplets
Greed is probably "draw ALL the cards". Probably something with black in it so you can run Greed itself and similar effects. Seizan, Perverter of Truth seems ideal.
Which just leaves Pride, which seems like a tricky one. You could go Nath of the Gilt-leaf with Lorwyn's elves, who were completely tied up in aesthetics.
Pride should be none other than Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, the most narcissistic elf in a tribe of narcissistic elves.
Envy
Tougher, but still doable. I imagine this would probably be Mirri, Cat Warrior. In the storyline, she and Hanna both competed for Gerrard's love, for a while.
Wrath - Akroma, Angel of Wrath. Because it's in her name.

Lust could include Uktabi Orangutan as it has two monkey's doing it in the background. Lust could just be all the cards with mildly-not-really suggestive art. Somberwald Dryad is definitely a hoe just look at those ducklips. Frost Titan has a giant codpiece in your face. Gwendlyn Di Corci, Sivitri Scarzam. And read the flavor text then look at the art on this last one. Clergy en-Vec
For Envy, I think Sakashima the Impostor is great!
The deck theme will be about copying things~
For Lust, I'm thinking Merieke Ri Berit, since she steals other's creatures (luring/attracting the creature to her).
Cards like Sower of Temptation, Alluring Siren will be a nice addition to the theme
I agree with above posters that Omnath is better with the Gluttony theme than Azusa, I mean, he's eating the mana and becomes more and more fat!
Seizan is good for Greed. He's making everybody draw cards! And probably punish those who is Greedier than others~
The Heavenly Inferno theme deck is a good start to Wrath IMO. Kaalia is kinda good for the embodiment of wrath, and she's sending the great amount of 'wrath' at minimal cost!
The Wrath decklist could include White and Red Akroma, Anger (lol) and Wrath of God (lolol)
Can't really think the Generals for the rest of the theme right now, but I'm pretty interested with this 7 Sins EDH idea. Maybe I'll post more ideas for this later
Creativity is investing, experimenting, breakthroughing, taking risk, making mistakes, and HAVING FUN! "Dream creates future." http://levelten.deviantart.com/
Wrath - Mageta the Lion or Child of Alara for their wrath effects, or Kaalia of the Vast because she is the embodiment of wrath.
"I'll have my revenge if I have to call on every force from above and below."
Lust - Merieke Ri Berit was said before, and I think that is perfect. But you have to put this guy in there because this guy is hilarious once you get it hahaha
Envy feels like it should be stealing stuff (greed does too, but greed has other options), but it feels more red than blue. I would personally play every temporary steal effect you can get your hand on and a lot of sac outlets. If you can't have it no one can *hulk smash*.
Pride seems like where you can sneak white into the 7. White could probably do wrath too. Green seems like the hardest to fit in somewhere (it's the most pure color imo), but fatties is a fair way to get it in there. I personally like the idea of grimgrin eating people for gluttony and playing stuff like feeding frenzy... Not good, just flavorful, heh.
Sloth - Heidar, Rimewind Master - Works for me, freeze All the things to slow everything down
Wrath - Kaalia of the Vast - Like others have said, you know someone's pissed when they're calling on angels, demons, and dragons. Alternatively, go Red Akroma.
Pride - Rafiq of the Many - I actually like this suggestion a lot. Seems like he could be full of himself.
Lust - - I'm not sure, go with a character you like or someone else's suggestion ^^'
Envy - - I like the idea of just running every steal effect you can, lol. Probably wanna go UR, or Grixis.
Those are my ideas for this. Cool idea man, if only I wasn't poor I might do this, lol.
I like the idea someone mentioned about using Rafiq of the Many as Pride. Go Voltron without any other creatures, because he's the only one that get the job done.
My gut reaction exactly. Although I understand the logic for the red Akroma, the white one seems to fit the biblical description of the archangels a little better.
Greed - Sedris, the Traitor King reanimator. Big blowout bombs for very little mana.
Gluttony - Kresh, the Bloodbraided Eatery of Doom (tm)
Sloth - GAAIV Stax. Politician. Sloth. Stax. Sloth.
Wrath - Kaalia of the Vast. One dragon, two dragon, three dragon, four.
Pride - Rafiq of the Many Voltron. Doesn't get much more prideful than rafiq.
Lust - Karona, False God. Give everyone ALL the things.
Envy - Sakashima the Imposter. No, you can't copy Norin.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
I think rafiq of the many would fit pride. A one man show. His story fits well also.
As for wrath, anything white or red with board wipes and land destruction. I also agree that kaalia's colors fit wrath well. TOns of spot removal, land destruction and wipes.

Wrath - Heartless Hidetsugu Red is a violent color. Heartless punches everyone in the face, and wrath is just as self-destructive as it is destructive. Plus I like the idea of building this deck to the idea/theme of wrath, not the metaknowledge of "wrathing the board".
Pride - Rafiq of the Many One man does all the work and gets all the glory. This guy is the poster child for a Pride deck.
Sloth - Grand Arbiter Augustin IV - Throwing in another vote for GAAIV stax. Make sure nothing ever happens
Wrath - Kaervek the Merciless - while the "Wrath (of God)" is amusing, I'd go for a more secular approach to wrath. Burn theme seems appropriate. With no mercy.
Pride - Rafiq of the Many - creatureless Rafiq voltron seems appropriate, as said before. Make sure to include a few creature tutors in case he gets tucked (but not too many, since he'd be the only target). I suppose you could have some evoke creatures as well, so that the creature tutors weren't totally dead outside of tuck effects.
Lust - Lorthos, the TidemakerMerieke Ri Berit - She tempts your opponents' creatures away. Then when she's done being all horizontal with them, she destroys them. Seems appropriate.
Envy - Sakashima the Impostor - Another vote for hyper clone-everything deck with Sakashima.
Pride: Definitely the hardest one to choose from. I could see Grand Arbiter Augustine IV, the pride of the legal system(mainly to say something different from Rafiq of the Many here). Akroma, Angel of Wrath can fit here too, in her eternal mission to eradicate evil.
I don't picture greed as taking other people's stuff, but rather something like Riku, always wanting more than you have. Necropotence is a greedy card to me. Maybe something built around card draw and tokens?

Right now it is:
Greed - Dralnu, Lich Lord - Steal everyone else's things. (The point behind the theft in greed is, He wants it, and as such he will rip it from your cold, dead hands.)
Gluttony - Azusa, Lost but Seeking - Super Ramp and fatties.
Sloth - Heidar, Rimewind Master - Tap and bounce.
Wrath - Kaalia of the Vast - Demons and Dragons and Angels, oh my!
Pride - Rafiq of the Many - Voltron. 'nuff said.
Lust - Merieke Ri Berit - One night stands.
Envy - ??? - ??? (still deciding!)
P.S. It has been suggested and I have agreed to have each General altered to be the corresponding homonculus from FMA:Brotherhood
"No."
"Seriously guys, my hair..."
I think vish kal, blood arbiter would be good for gluttony
a steal deck would be better for envy
Greed should be an all in kinda deck that uses all of its resources for the win....Maybe Rakdos the Defiler?
Rafiq of the many would be possibly good for pride...maybe even voltron style for added theme
>wrath
I see what you did there...
How could Gluttony not be, Omnom, Locus of Mana?

StaffGreed is probably "draw ALL the cards". Probably something with black in it so you can run Greed itself and similar effects. Seizan, Perverter of Truth seems ideal.
For Wrath, Akroma, Angel of Wrath? Or maybe go Akroma, Angel of Fury as this is definitely the Reddest sin.
Omnath, Locus of Mana seems more fitting for Gluttony than Azusa, since he eats all of the green mana and gets huge.
Heidar does seem fitting for Sloth.
For Lust, Gwendlyn Di Corci seems exemplary
Which just leaves Pride, which seems like a tricky one. You could go Nath of the Gilt-leaf with Lorwyn's elves, who were completely tied up in aesthetics.

Pride - My vote goes towards Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter, playing cards such as Divinity of Pride and Sorin Markov, as well as any other characters who are full of themselves.
If not, Nicol Bolas seems like a prideful dude.
Lust - Merieke Ri Berit was said before, and I think that is perfect. But you have to put this guy in there because this guy is hilarious once you get it hahaha
Envy - Sen Triplets Hands down.
u/Anon_Amarth - Fun as a zero sum game: If my opponent is having none of it, then by extension I must be having all of it.
