Well Again i am back at working towards my 32 and again I am looking fro help on Decisions. Right now I only have 5 decks. (3 of which are finely tunes while the other two are just jank I through together today (Arcades and Mairsil) But I also have ther Commanders inbound.
I don't have much in terms on Mono color I don't really like mono-color too much. Sure I can do a lot with the one color given to me but they do seem dull.
WU WB WRAurelia, the Warleader: Slight Angel tribal with infinite combat phases. WG UBVela the Night-Clad: Bounce and bounce and bounce and control. URKenrithtwins: Combo control with Planewalkers. UG BR BGMazirek, Kraul Death Priest: Mass Forced sacrafices (Along with Assault suit on Mazirek so he cannot be sacraficed, and gets BIG... and given to others). RGThromok The insatiable: Mass token production and Insurrection. Then cast Thromok and eat everything. With anger as haste enabler. One trick pony and a glass cannon.
When it comes to guild i have more fun. I have more options and they can go in a variety of ways. i also try to choose commanders not everyone has chosen. Mazirek and Vela don't have as many lists as others. they are not the most unique but they are unique from others in their guilds. Different strategies for their colors.
So when it comes to the Shards and tribes. I have more built. And I enjoy the ones i have built. Sure not all 10 but i say 80% is pretty good, and the only reason the others are not built is because i have not found the right general for them (though Jund lands may bring the 8/10 to 9/10)
WUBR WUBGAtraxa, Praetors' Voice: Proliferate does not matter. I prefer a four keyword creature on a 4/4 body at a 4 CMC. proliferate is a bonus. WURG WBRG UBRG
Yea, the 4 color decks are lacking in the available generals that i enjoy. Atraxa I love but that is the only one i like. Maybe Breya can take the non-green slot. I dunno.
Um, ye, Colorless deck, not many options for a general, may as well play one that refills my hand. (and having one with annihilator and Shuffle grave bakc into deck DOES make it a bit better than V2.0).
So yea, those are what I have so far.I am still only 18/32 So a little over half. But that also means i have 14 combinations left. Need some help and I enjoy semi competitive decks, and different strategies. tribal decks do win points, Like Maaybe Mono black Relentless rats deck. I prefer shaningans though. I dont wnat all combo or all beatdown. While i wnat to win. i enjoy winning by having Vela get hit by a kicked Rite of Replication. Or letting someone squirrel nest and earthcraft ten billion squirrels. then use Reins of Power on my turn the proceed to laugh as they gave me the victory by creating the army.
Shenangans are what make the game fun, not just winning. I rather lose while goofing around with shenanigans than win with a combo. (but every now and then i have to blow the dust off of Narset to teach people a lesson when they play competitive decks. Why would I play Cavern of Souls in Narset. i need yo to not counter her. I will end this quickly, and if you don't scoop when my infinite turns begin, FINE! Lets follow it up with more attack phases and then combo out for victory.
GUVorel of the Hull Clade - The only Simic commander I've ever found interesting. A general counters on all the cards deck. Main win condition is Darksteel Reactor which is always nice and people don't expect it to win in like 2 turns after reactor hits. Cards like Liquimetal Coating allows the commander to double the counters on anything.

i like Vorel idea. Sound like fun.
Purphoros may be dismantled for Zo-zu the Punisher. Stupid Tolarian Community College, Always tweaking my interest.
I'll list decks that I've had built which I'd consider to be a little different from the "norms".
WUEphara, God of the Polis - Control deck with token generators. This is one of the decks that I can play year-by-year and always be excited to play it.
WGCaptain Sisay is a commander I just can't get away from. I have 3 different versions. Creature good-stuff, combo Paradox Engine..and yes a planeswalker one
WRGSamut, Voice of Dissent - Equipment combo deck. It's quite a specialized brew that I've thrashed, meaning I find it really fun and competitive.
GUBRThrasios, Triton Hero // Vial Smasher the Fierce - The deck name is "Four-color Grenzo" and it's one of my crown-jewel creations. I've been wanting to post a deck list with full break down for a while now. It's my favorite deck of all time.

I will definitely look into your lists. you are the reason i am playing the Kenrith Twins, You obviously have some insight in what I am into in terms of play.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
While Rakdos is an interesting creature, there is a guy at my LGS who already plays him and while i am not completely opposed to playing deck with the same commander, i rather not.
That said I think my RB is going to be Wort, Boggart Auntie. I Built Wort goblin tribal before, and if I switch Purphoros to be Zo-zu i will not have goblin tribal again, which means Wort would find a nice home.

WG Trostani, Selesnya's Voice - I really enjoyed it. I get to play Mimic Vat, Mirror Works, Minion Reflector, Phyrexian Processor, and now Helm of the Host when I get around to rebuilding it... which may be soon if I keep thinking about it. Using Helm of the Host to make more Trostani so that all the Trostani can make more Trostani seems a bit hilarious.
