I really cant decide what commander to build. The best cards I have are: Scalding tarn, valakut awakening, takenuma, tergrid, tekuthal, preston, leyline binding and isochron scepter. Can anyone give me any ideas of a commander that utilizes atleast some of these cards?

Best I can give is either start with a concept, what you truly want to do with your deck. Do you want to do all 1-drops, big mana, mono-green aristocrats?? Or any commander itself that strikes your eye. Build from there. However, if you really want to utilize those specific cards, try typing them in the EDHRec.com search bar and see what recurring commanders pull up that use those cards. Cheers!

You can link cards by enclosing the name in double brackets. I'll do so here so that people can get an idea of the colors/strategies that these cards support.

Scalding Tarn

Valakut Awakening  Flip

Takenuma, Abandoned Mire

Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip

Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus

Preston, the Vanisher

Leyline Binding

Isochron Scepter

Looking at this list I'd say the most cards you are going to fit into a single deck would be some sort of Nekusar force feed deck with Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter in it. This would let you run Scalding Tarn, Valakut Awakening  Flip, Takenuma, Abandoned Mire, Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip, and Isochron Scepter. It definitely wouldn't be the most powerful Nekusar deck, but it would let you run the maximum number of the listed cards IMO.
