Well, it's been years since I built a commander deck. I built 4 and stopped; GB mid-range, UW control, Bant Bird tribal and mono-red dragons. I stopped because I felt like these 4 decks basically did all that I might want to do in commander that and I couldn't carry any more. But I think its time to make something new, I have too many cards not doing anything and no other constructed magic to work towards.
To build decks I really like starting from one card and spiralling a deck outwards, normally that is my commander but nothing has interested me recently so I have picked a powerful card from my collection and trying to work out how to make the most out of it. Paradox haze but I don't know what commander to use with it any suggestions?
I am a johnny at heart, like blue and hate green, I am not against combo but it needs to be complicated to be interesting, Money might be a problem but I have a large collection and ways to get a ton of store credit but old cards can be super hard to get a hold of.
I have 9 decks where blue is a significant part of it. The only one that runs Paradox Haze, and it’s a nice piece of the deck, is The Scarab God. Make all opponents lose life equal to TWICE the number of zombies you control, and two Scry triggers (although admittedly the second trigger isn’t as good, because you’re in part dealing with some of the cards you left on top the first time).
Scarab God, Paradox Haze, and Wound Reflection gets out of control pretty quickly.

So I realised I can do a card search on EDHREC
Jhoira and Blue braids are boring to me.
My concern with Zedruu is that I'll just make another UW control deck, I need to be doing something interesting with her.
I still have PTSD from the scarab god in standard :P... the scry is like the least powerful part of the card
It seems like the one not mentioned is Taigam, Sidisi's Hand... is really the only one I can see myself making partially because he is uncommon.
Perhaps I should pick a different card or some kind of theme that isn't covered by my other 4 decks: Green black artifact recursion mid-range. UW planeswalker and hate card control. Tribal aggro and cheating big things into play. hmmm hmmm

Unless you are scrying all of them.
Didn’t think something so obvious needed to be said.
