I just put together a Naya tokens list last night and am trying to decide between Gahiji or Rith. I just realized out of the blue that I had a lot of awesome token cards still need to get my hands on a doubling season though.
Marath, Will of the Wild isn't an option? I run Marath in paper and it can be fun and produce alot of tokens (Earthcraft + Marath is nice).
Online I run Rith and its pretty fun too, but it can be alot harder for your commander to have an effect on the game. Once it does though, you are typically swimming in tokens.
I didn't really consider marath cuz I want my tokens to go wide not a single big token at a time she is decent tho but for tokens I think rith is best. I was considering gehiji because he might keep people off my back until I can build up and he has built in anthem effect for the token creatures

Marath makes lots of tokens and acts like a machine gun too. Look at the deck and what the other 99 are doing. Then look at the general and see which one makes the 99 better. Rith doesn't. Gahiji does if you are going for the slow game against superior decks and players, and Marath is solid all the time.

Marath doesn't have to pop out big tokens, she easily sprouts an army of 1/1's and does it earlier and with less stipulations then Rith.
She can spit out tokens, deal damage or pump things. Shes a big swiss army knife.
Ya I didnt really think of her x being activated multiple times for a Bunch of small tokens she would be pretty good honestly. Also she scales to her mana cost which is cool, very similar to Prossh.
I'm playtesting Intet, the Dreamer dragon tribal right now.
I am also overhauling Zedruu the Greathearted into a more voltron style deck, the control version was too durdly for my taste.
Lastly I threw together a list of cards that would be sweet with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, but I went a little overboard and now I'm at 165/100 cards. Now comes the hard part, the culling...
For a while I wanted to do a red deck to finish the "cycle" of mono colored decks I currently have, but I'm having trouble with it. Initially I wanted to do Feldon of the Third Path, but I saw a Feldon player regularly get neutered by Rest In Peace and Leyline Of The Void with no recourse: I just felt sad for him. Then I switched to considering Purphoros, God Of The Forge, but he's way too popular and I don't like playing the exact deck everyone's playing. Same with Krenko, who, as a commander at least, I like less than Purph. I'd still like to complete the cycle, so right now I'm thinking of perhaps playing Zo-Zu the Punisher or perhaps Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician.
In truth, though... I don't really like playing mono red. Red is great as a second or third color, but on its own, well, I'm all "You go on and enjoy your Wild Guesses, I'm gonna go hang with some other colors and draw some cards."
On the other hand, playing green has been a real relevation ( a Shamanic Revelation, you might say ), so I'm just as tempted to build a more casual green deck, as Titania has started to get something of a reputation as an "Oh, THAT deck" deck. I was thinking of building either an Omnath, Locus Of Mana pseudo-control big green spell deck, or a mostly creatureless Kruphix, God Of Horizons deck that tries to put in all the potential non-attacking wincons like Helix Pinnacle. I stole a Kruphix from another player with an early-game Bribery in my Ephara deck, and was absolutely amazed with the kind of utility he had just hanging around on the board.
Working on a Liliana, Heretical Healer, discard and recursion deck. Nothing fancy, but I don't play enough EDH to worry about whether it's obvious or been done before.

One of these day I have to get myself organizized.
Well, I've been really happy with Daretti lately. I've been enjoying it so much that I want to tear it apart and it split it into two decks so i can play it twice as much. I want to do a mono red deck with either Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker or Feldon of the Third Path. I might even go wild card and try Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs. Then, if I can fill out the list enough with red cards I want to put my surplus artifacts in an Esper shell so I can play everyone's favorite Magister Sphinx- I've been reading a ton of really positive feedback regarding his ability lately
Also, for the sake of variety I want to have a voltron deck. I've tried a few different commanders. My favorite so far has been Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, but I'm hesitant to buy it because infect seems a bit mean and I already have a mono black deck. I'll probably go enchantress with either Sigalda, Bruna or Jenara because auras are cheap. I can probably start with a budget list at about 50 bucks or so.
I've been meaning to tear apart my Vorel of the Hull Clade deck now. I'm abandoning the counter theme and going blue/green good stuff. At first I was going to have Momir Vig, Simic Visionary lead it but then I remembered I hate shuffling so I'm using Prime Speaker Zegana instead. The list is finished and it plays pretty well, but I don't want to buy it yet because I feel like it needs a third color. I don't want to build yet another black reanimation deck, but The Mimeoplasm calls to me...
Finally, lately I've been intrigued by Ioas, God of Victory. I want to feature creatures whose abilities trigger on attack like Cyclops Gladiator and Hero of Bladehold. The list is about half done, but of course since I'm in Red/White card draw is an issue....
I'm probably 80% done with a Hanna, Ship's Navigator stax list. I'm also working on Vhati il-Dal with some vigor. Lastly, I'm thinking about a Norin the Wary deck, just so I can have all five colors represented and a few different options to play.
Still waiting for a really good BW commander for stax.
I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

Athreos, God of Passage doesn't do it for you? Sac your dudes and make them bleed to keep them dead. I ran a list that used a bunch of tiny creatures like Black Cat that weren't worth paying three life for but over time would annoy the heck out of you when they kept dying.
I'm thinking of getting foil Checklands, Shocklands and Fetchlands. I have a regular playset of those lands (mainly for Modern purposes), but since I ended up with Affinity as my first completed deck (which uses none of those lands), I'm using one of each of those lands (except for those in the WB combination, since two EDH decks use those colors) in my EDH decks. It now annoys me to some degree that my binder has (at least) a "missing card" for each of those lands. Eventually I might end up building decks in other formats that would demand for 4 of those lands, so I'm looking to fill the cards back to the binder.
I suppose I could get one more regular copy (also fixing the problem while being easier on both time and money), but since I already went out of the way to structure my decks to use each color pairing once (except for WB, there's no way to do 3 different 3-color decks without overlapping 1 color-pairing), I'd figure out that getting 1 copy of each land in foil shouldn't be overly daunting (and rewarding in the long term should I end up changing the structures again)... since I'm also slowing foiling out the other cards in various ways.
Of course, another important plan is to actually play the decks I've assembled, which I haven't got to yet because I was distracted with assembling my Modern deck for the past few weeks.
My project is EDH master cube. Instead of making a deck i am collecting many MANY cards so I can easily without much issue build a new deck and not have to go purchase a bunch of cards as I will already own them.
however for actual deck designs I am aiming for. Sphinx Tribal.
Working on converting Sydri into Brago. I have all the duals and fetches for UW, so I figured I either completely trade/sell away the pieces since it's not a color combo I really like, or I make it work for me. As much as I love artifacts, I dont enjoy esper artifacts. But I also am not a huge fan of blink, but I do enjoy stax
I'm currently attempting to build some sort of UW heavy control deck. I am torn between Rasputin and Agustin. I have most of the cards gathered, I just haven't had the willpower to begin building.
I haven't started it yet, but I really want to make a Damia, Sage of Stone deck. Reason I haven't right now is that her creation would probably require the destruction of two other decks, and also, besides "control" I don't really have a direction I want to take her in (I'm not a fan of just random goodstuff)

I cannot recommend this enough. If you're the type of player who likes to just play one deck at a time rather than have a bunch to choose from, a cube (or just large toolbox) can let you trade off duplicates for more expensive cards you wouldn't otherwise get. Dismantling my decks to build an EDH cube was the best decision I ever made.

You basicly play UG Kruphix, God of Horizons(since you can collect a bunch of mana during turns), Plagiarize, into The Great Aurora.
I saw it being used with Leashlingas well.
You can have cards like City of Solitude so nobody can disrupt your combo.
Maybe that can get you going
Who needs Colours?
My most played EDH deck:
X Kozilek, the Great Distortion
UBR Nekusar, the Mindrazer
Hopefully it's decent
Nath is a very strong general. In my experience, he's always at least decent.

BMarrow-Gnawer, Crime Lord of ComboB
WBRTariel, Hellraiser StaxWBR
Annul is really good in EDH
