Well, that's if they actually have cards in their deck that let them do that, so it depends on how their deck works, etc, not ALL EDH/commander decks are going to have cards that do that.

Would tymaret, the murder king be a good EDH general? Maybe use him with zombies, red aggro stuff, black removal, life stealing stuff, etc?

He's a poor r/b Brion Stoutarm. White will have better removal(can wipe or target all permanents, not just mostly creatures). What can Tyramet do that Lyzolda the Blood Witch or Olivia Voldaren can't do better?

I c........ I have usually done well with red/white, so maybe anax and cymede would be good to use as a general?

IMHO Agrus Kos>Anax and Cymede. No need to find ways to target Kos, just turn him sideways.

Looks like I'm going Esper.... I already have a lot of cards I want in it, but does anyone have an idea for a good commander? Sen triplets? Maybe the legendary sphinx? Or ........? Any ideas?

Merieke Ri Berit or Ertai, the Corrupted could also be fun. At lot of it depends on what your card selection is to choose from for building a deck.

The blue is most likely going to be mill with counter spells, and stuff that makes my creatures unblock able, the white for soldiers, and removal, and life gain, and black for mainly vamps and creature removal, I'll probably throw in a sorin markov and sorin lord of innistrad

Sounds like you just want a general control deck- I'd go with Merieke if you can get hold of one. She sounds like the best fit for your deck.

One of the new commander coming out is in Esper colors, and that deck would probably be a really good start for commander.

That's what I was thinking about doing also, since it takes me forever trying to find the best way to do my ideas, which I have billions of, but I can really only choose 1, so maybe I'll just wait, and buy one of those to start with, but also finish my own in the meantime. So I'll finish the esper EDH deck of my own, and the sliver EDH deck that will be all 5 colors, commanded by the sliver overlord. Any ideas for the sliver EDH? I already have a ton of slivers, but I was wondering if their was a certain way slivers would/could be used for EDH.

I like the esper commander, as well as the naya one...

Use the Overlord as your commander- include all the permanent destroyers, and just season to taste. Might include a few recursion strategies, and all the mana fixer slivers.

So like something for each color? Like creature removal for the black, burn for the red, and stuff that will let me look through my deck etc, for the blue.....? And I do have the sliver 'premium deck' but I think people stole stuff from it, which pissed me off, but then I sold the sliver overlord, not thinking that I would need it now...... But it's really only $6-ish so I'll just buy it back or trade for it from my friend.

You probably won't need much other removal depending on your slivers- Necrotic Sliver destroys any permanent, and there are a few others that destroy artifacts/enchantments. Just go to gatherer and type sliver- and before you put a spell in, check to make sure it's not something a sliver already does.

ok, but maybe add in a victim of night, and doom blade etc, type stuff? just a few things,and then i was wondering....if titanic ultimatum (naya rare) would be a good card to throw in with the slivers also...and maybe cathars crusade? just stuff that could/would help pump the slivers,etc

maybe a tragic slip for my opponents big creatures?go for the throat would be nice also...

Would those work?

A few extra kill spells might be useful- might try murder, or the new and improved murder that also kills planeswalkers(forget the name). I wouldn't include too many non-slivers though- more slivers>more spells.
Don't bother with pump spells- slivers already do that and add another body to the table.
Something like Boros Charm might be useful though. Slivers are easily prone to overextending and getting hurt by boardwipes. Also the doublestrike can end a game out of nowhere(especially with the poison sliver).

Sounds good, Ty, but then...... Should I still add in titanic ultimatum?

You could always try it out.

yeah, it would be a lot of fun to try it out, and see if i can get it off without anyone countering it, cuz who would be afraid of maybe 10 slivers who just got +5/+5, lifelink, etc? al lot......if it worked though

You guys know any way I could make this deck faster?

24 Mountain

4 Fire Servant
4 Guttersnipe

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Thunderous Wrath
4 Reverberate
4 Searing Spear
4 Lightning Strike
4 Pyromancer Ascension
4 Increasing Vengeance

I'd like to keep this deck as based around burn as possible, so no ashe zealots or anything.

Mana ramp? I mean you're basically just starting to get the doubling of damage and the extra damage out on turn 3.

What do you do on turns 1 and 2, play mana, and hope for a miracle'd Thunderous Wrath?

Too bad you couldn't throw in a few vexing devils. I don't use him cause he's not standard legal anymore, but that would be an interesting combo in early game (when you're not doubling damage). He comes out and your opponent either takes the damage, or you have a 4/3 on turn two

I strongly suggest- lava dart, shock, staggershock (comes back during your next upkeep to deal a 2nd 2 damage),burning oil, geistflame,flame javelin, DEVIL'S PLAY ( pay X and 1 mtn, and devil's play deals X amount of damage)!!!!! You can find a TON of ideas with the gatherer on the wotc website

or maybe Chandra ablaze if you can pull of her ultimate in time, and pyretic rituals to ramp up your red mana

Anyone going to Grand Prix Washington Dc? I've always wanted to play an infect deck, so I threw together a legacy version I plan on taking. Still need a play set of Daze though, and I still have to put together the sideboard.

Anyway, would be cool to see some dakkanauts there, even if its not a war gaming tournament.

well,good luck at the Grand Prix!

Simple question for those better informed; how does Green/Blue run these days? What sort of builds are viable and is it considered a good combo?

Well, it could be a good combo if you build it right, or maybe go for a Simic deck, which you could build however you want, but blue/green also seems like a nice combo of colors for an infect deck also, but it's really however you want to build it.

For what format? I've seen a few interesting Green Devotion builds (Green symbols+ mana creatures + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx) for standard recently; some with lots of card draw using Garruk, Caller of Beasts and Prime Speaker Zegana, some which ramp green monsters and then Overloaded Cyclonic Rift to bounce all your opponent's nonland permanents to their hand and let you smash for the win.

It depends, if you are wanting a Tier 1 or 2 deck,t hen G/U is not doing that well. Blue Devotion however, is top tier deck, and Green alone, can also be up there. It's funny, Green and Blue are in top decks, just not in combination with each other, they are usually paired with other colors. for instance U/W and G/W are both up there.

However, if you mean a kitchen table deck, you can make a pretty fun deck with G/U, however at a competitive FNM it would likely struggle against most of the current trending decks.
