Currently finishing Alara shards with Sharuum/ Sidri esper artifacts and Grixis Sedris or Thraximundar. Not sure which to do for each at the moment though...

EDH BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
Currently tuning Xenagos, God of Revels to an appreciable standard for the MTGS playerbase and making a silly red-base etb deck as a "low power" deck for when I want to tone my own madness down a bit.
Not really original here but vampire deck. Not sure wich commander yet but I might go with an old one like Baron Sengir for the challenge of building with older cards.
I'm trying to come up with a list of 26 that I'd be happy sticking with, and that all feel different enough. Then I just have to start purchasing things slowly haha.

-This signature intentionally left blank to increase general intrigue and mystery-
I'm actually looking for a new one. I've been trying to put more of my cards to use and have built several new decks of late. One is a Roon manifest deck that cheats Eldrazi into play by manifesting them and then blinking with Roon. It works fine, but I've also built a Selvala deck to put a bunch of hydras to use, but the Eldrazi would be much, much better in Selvala than they are in Roon since 1) that deck has Genesis Wave and Gen Wave for Kozilek is way better than Gen Wave for [Genesis|Hooded|Lifeblood] Hydra, and 2) it can make the mana to actually cast Eldrazi. Problem being, if I take the Eldrazi out of Roon, then my Roon deck has no identity. I'd like to continue to have a Roon deck of some sort, but I don't want the usual ETB abuse. So I guess my project is figuring out what other atypical use for Roon I can find, ideally continuing to use Manifest.
EDHD strikes again, my Liliana deck, while a lot of fun to play with, is generally considered to be a really poor experience to play against, and since I do like to tune along my playgroup, and FTV Angels spoiled a few cards I needed for something I wanted to make a long time ago, I'm now going to build Tariel Control.

My Commander decks:
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.
Well after noticing that none of the regulars in my playgroup enjoyed playing against my child of alara deck (control/combo) I took it apart and have decided to stick with 5colours and make a Karona false god deck. I've only played a handful of games with it, but needs some serious work, I'm hoping in the end I can make a voltron/control deck.

Get them vows (vow of duty, vow of flight, vow of lightning, vow of malice, vow of wildness) and an assault suit!
[EDH] It's built to be a casual format and to a specific vision, and if you don't like the vision, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not going to change to accommodate everyone. Big tent is not a goal.
Knowing eventually I will want to build more decks: putting together a commander box. Zendikar fetches are high, plus the duplicate expensive stuff means I can trade/funnel money back into the box.
Now what to put in the box...

EDH UBX - Milling Zombie Horde (now with spliced mana!)
A combination of a spike-influx at my LGS and desire for a control deck in my roster has be building a Derevi prison deck. Almost done, too: really just missing five cards ( Scalding Tarn, Mana Crypt, and Revised Duals ).
My goal is to turn my "Subway" deck (my cousin always misspoke and called Jarad Jared so we just ended up calling him Jared from Subway and so it just became "The Subway EDH") into a Sidisi-based EDH with more reanimator stuffs as well as complete my Kruphix (formerly Stitcher Geralf but it failed) mana ramp/mill EDH.
Anyone have any suggestions for a Dralnu, Lich Lord Storm deck? I keep trying to get it working, but it seems since I've played against so many Storm decks in the past that all of my decks so far have been able to turn it off at any time he tries to go off.
I've tried with Dream Halls, with Eye of the Storm, heck, I even tried doing Null Profusion with nothing but 0 drop artifacts to get storm count up high enough, then still fizzled because I couldn't draw Retract\Hurkyl's Recall or Tendrils of Agony. I feel the last one was the closest to what I'm looking for, and it feels borderline scary how close I am to lethal multiplayer Storm. But try as I might, all the decks in my signature always seem to draw exactly what they need to make a bad day for the Storm deck.
Oh, and I am working on Grenzo as well, but he seems more minor refinements - Ad Nauseam in place of the Seige-Gang Commander, and I think that's about the only upgrade he needs...
from, what ive seen storm decks are essentialy tutor draw and mana generation if your trying to do mass draw there is no reason that eye of the storm or dreamhalls should fail you deck should have can trips and larger draw spells with mana spells dark petition from the new set should fill that space nicely if you pm me the list you currently have i can take a look at it and give better recomendations.
After discovering I have 60 cards (With the perfect mana base for it) and almost every card I still need being under $1, I've decided I'm going to put together Momir Vig, Simic Visionary Combo Elves.
I'm going to use this as the base list, but tweaks will be made (I'm rather irate that I can't use Beck // Call, but C'est La Vie.
I took a break from Magic for about a year. It's been a tough year, but I'm starting to get excited about the game again. I've kind of been mulling the idea of getting back into EDH over. I could easily just slap together my old decks, but I'm kind of wanting to start fresh and do something new, albeit with old generals I liked. My first deck that I ever made was with Sigarda, so I am thinking I am going to sit down and make a new Sigarda deck. I also want to make a new Jarad deck as well. While I generally prefer the tri-colored decks, I think coming into it fresh with these two - two that I have always really loved - is probably the best way to get back into the game.
I'm building an Old School Deck. General is Bartel Runeaxe (I will be seriously impressed at anyone who knows what Bartel does without clicking the link.)
All cards in the deck are from Unlimited, Revised, or early expansions up through Alliances (also including Chronicles in this list).
I have a decent collection of old cards but nothing spectacular.
Biggest problem is mana fixing, and the fact that creatures of that vintage mostly weren't very good. I own a Taiga, and a Nature's Lore (which can fetch it).
Only mana rocks are Fellwar Stone and (sorta) Astrolabe.
It's a lot of fun, though; it feels like building a deck when I was a new player, where it was just "throw all the cool cards of the colors you want to play in your deck".
Haven't finished the deck yet.
In looking through those old expansions, it seems that Alliances might have been the strongest overall. Legends had some incredible cards but most of the good ones all cost megabucks these days.
I don't think it's going to be a powerhouse but I'm guessing for this old-school player (off and on since Revised) it will be a fun trip down memory lane.
I forgot how much fun Brago is because he's an aggro deck that does a really good job at controlling the board as well, my preferred play style. I intentionally built a depowered deck last week which didn't run any staples and strictly worse cards than ones I already own. Changing it up for tonight by making it a Torpor Orb based deck for the lulz, and assuming it works out as I plan, I'm going to rebuild it again as a budget deck. I haven't decided how budget it will be. I'll start with $50 and see if I can get it lower.
When am I ever not working on something? Its too much, I tells ya!
Bladewing the Risen - dragon reanimator. I have the decklist basically where I want it, now I need to pony up for the cost. Kiku, Night's Flower - Mono Black control. Adusting it from a creature/recursion heavy list to a more "pox and mutilate" kind of list. Wrexial, the Risen Deep - I don't even know where to take this anymore. Most of my friends play low-instant/sorcery counts, so he doesn't do as much as I would like. Mayael the Anima - One of my favorite decks, adjusting for more topdeck manipulation for more consistent activations. Krenko, Mob Boss - This one is....actually done? wow. Sigarda, Host of Herons - Enchantress Voltron. Doesn't usually need upkeep, but worth checking out the new sets for. Isamaru, Hound of Konda - Equipment voltron on a budget. Pretty low power if you don't invest in the staples. Nin, the Pain Artist - Again, no idea where to take this. Mogis, God of Slaughter - Enchantment punisher. Need to find some non-MLD wincons. Savra, Queen of the Golgari - one of my least formed decks, not built yet. Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer - I always have my eye of Gwafa, but I can't quite figure it out yet.
and these are just the more "serious" decks that I am actually building. Doesn't even cover all the decks I've made and not actually considered building.

Mirrorworks + torpor orb so that you can pay 2 for redundant torpor orbs in case you want to play around removal that isn't stuck on a creature?

Other cards of note:
Rukh Egg
Helm of Obedience
Conquer (I'll have that Maze of Ith, thank you very much)
Skull Catapult (underrated)
Fallen Angel
Reincarnation (green graveyard return!)
Sengir Autocrat (serf's up! the serfs make good Angel snacks, or Catapult ammo)
Krovikan Horror, Death Spark (got to time 'em right so they end up in the right place in your graveyard)
Khabal Ghoul (note that it gets the counters at end of turn, so you can play it after setting off...
...Nevinyrral's Disk)
Among others.
