Ok, so I'm bored with Legacy, and a friend of mine who plays an awful highlander deck (it did cost im less than 100 USD) reminded me of that cry-babies format called EDH/Commander. Needless to say, I'm completely ashamed that I even think about building the 100-cards deck, not to mention I already guess I won't play it too often. However, it's still better than nothing and I may always dismantle the deck.
I already thought about some build, I definitely don't want to spend more than fifty bucks on this affair, maybe double the amount, but only in some very special case. I tinkered with some ideas for so long that I simply can't decide (oh, the joy of deck building; seriously, I hate this aspect of the game, I'd rather play chess draughts)

I'd like to read your opinions on the few choices I'm considering right now. Look, I even made a poll! Who wouldn't love to make an important vote? Who wouldn't love to make life decisions for other people? Enjoy...


Deck ideas:

1) 5Color Ramp Control aka 50 Bucks Solution

general:
Cromat or Atogatog (and maybe I may steal Progenitus from someone's binder, too)

lands:
5 Ice Age painlands
5 Tempest painlands
5 Apocalypse painlands
5 Invasion cipt duals
5 Coldsnap cipt duals
5 Zendikar cipt duals
5 Shards of Alara triplelands
5 utility lands

artifact mana:
10 signets
10 other rocks

titans:
1 Primeval
1 Sundering

others:
48 cheap ass brutal cards*
1 card for that other format that uses 101 cards instead of 100


*) like any kind of WoG, any kind of targeted removal, lots of creatures with etb triggers, some interesting equipment (Skullclamp and the two seven-league boots), Erratic Portal and the EP no.2, some draw, etc., you know the stuff.

pros: 5 colors, nice lands
cons: boring idea, slow deck



2) Esper Blackblade aka One Hundred Brilliant Questions

general:
Dakkon Blackblade

lands:
35 WUB lands
some utility lands

artifact mana:
10 Esper rocks

flying nacatls:
about 20 sphinxes*

ultimata:
Brilliant Ultimatum

Thopter combo:
yes

others:
count to 100; mostly removal, blinks, counters and such

*) alternatively all 31, but some of them suck hard.
pros: funny tribe, three colors only
cons: three colors only, funny tribe



3) Haters Gonna Hate

general:
whoever, lets say Mayael the Anima if I wish to play red, but Rhys the Redeemed is also good, as is Tolsimir Wolfblood

lands:
35 Naya lands
5 strip mines
some utility lands?

rock and ramp:
10

mass (land) destruction:
30 mass destruction spells*

creatures:
yes

*) Primitive Justice and Builder's Bane and Decimate and Hull Breach and Calming Verse and Rout and Armageddon and Wildfire and Cataclysm and Ruination and Global Ruin and Shattering Spree and w/e.

pros: very brutal deck
cons: might get punched into teeth

Alternatively I may keep the color combination but switch the idea to my (never finished) Rheingold.dec you may find here.
