Currently I am in a bit of a conundrum and would like to groups opinions please.
For a while now I have wanted to build a Commander deck that kinda takes care of it self. For example play a threat and as the game progresses it does it's own thing e.g. Biogenic Ooze, Tendershoot Dryad, Guttersnipe.
I have also found the idea of playing a deck with the proliferate mechanic quite appealing.
In general I would like my decks to be proactive over reactive (have enough of them) and the thought of crashing in with a proliferated creature(s) whilst locking the opponent up/tying up resources does sound good to me (always like decks to make a brutal impression regardless on whether they win or not).
Question is can both of these ideas meld together? If so what colours would I pick. I have considered mono green, Bant and Temur colours. Finding a general that fits both the theme(s) is proving tricky.
Ideally I would like to avoid it being a planeswalker deck (have built this in the past and kinda bored with it)and also avoid atraxa, praetors' voice. Can't think why though.
Honestly, Atraxa seems like the best bet for proliferating and tying up resources with things like Smokestack and Parallax Wave.
But, if you want something else, I would lean towards Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and something else. Reyhan is super fun to build around, and I think would support a lot of different kinds of builds.
Thanks for that. Did notice Reyhan and does look like a good fit. My friend has a Ghave deck and although I am not that fussed about us using the same commander I do try and avoid it if possible.
Will have a think.
Cheers

Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ghave, Guru of Spores could also work.
8.RG Green Devotion Ramp/Combo 9.UR Draw Triggers 10.WUR Group stalling 11.WUR Voltron Spellslinger 12.WB Sacrificial Shenanigans
13.BR Creatureless Panharmonicon 14.BR Pingers and Eldrazi 15.URG Untapped Cascading
16.Reyhan, last of the Abzan's WUBG +1/+1 Counter Craziness 17.WUBRG Dragons aka Why did I make this?
Building: The Gitrog Monster lands, Glissa the Traitor stax, Muldrotha, the Gravetide Planeswalker Combo, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix + Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa Clues, and Tribal Scarecrow Planeswalkers
Will have a think.
