C16 commanders all look so good and i cant decide which to get. So which one are you guys getting and why?

Atraxa. I love BUG colors, and white adds even more good things to the mix. Plus Atraxa has a decent ability that you can abuse with tons of things.

Breya first then yidris. Then group hug. The last two I'll get when the price goes down in a year

I'm really torn between Atraxa and Saskia. I really want to add green to my Esper superfriends list, but Saskia just seems sooooooooo much fun.

after looking at your decklists i'd say pick a deck that's outside the norm for you...aka "Step away from the Mardu..."
i can't imagine anyone's gonna run their deck stock more than one night, so what do you already have a pile of cards within an adaptable theory to add to one of the new commanders?
Me personally... I was thinking I'd play Yidris. I've been wanting to throw Rashmi, Eternities Crafter and Jori En, Ruin Diver into cascade before new commanders were announced then I saw the decklist. Boooooo I have all but 5 of the playable cards in that already. To top it off the decklist I was working on was starting to look like another variant of my Izzet Durdles deck. I already have one of those! Sooooo ... Imma throw rashmi randomly at sultai or something so i can get it outta my system....and I'm gonna buy the grouphugs/pillow fort deck.
Again I say...do something different, change it up...have some fun...step away from the mardu.

Me and 4 friends are buying a 5 pack. We came up with our top 2 or 3 then tried to give everyone their first choice based on the collective wants. That being said I'm Saskia who looks great but the stock deck list bums me out. Modifying Saskia though should make a really powerful list. Atraxa looks fun and has some cards I want for other lists but Atraxa would just be another 1/1 counters deck which would be boring since I've made several in the past

all 5....will wait to see how much prices drop, but will prob get all 5 a second time, as I can use a lot of the cards in other decks (including decks I already have, and some pieces in one deck make sense in other decks). Cause as of right now, it would be cheaper than buying singles, due to reprints that I am in need of.

Honestly non of them seem that interesting except for saskia for me so thats who I am getting IF i even want to get one ill most likely just buy her and build my deck.

I really don't like any of the decks. Instead, I would suggest building a 2 commander 'Partner' deck. They are new, interesting, and open up all sorts of playstyles that fit any needs. They are a much better choice than the narrow 4c commanders.

I'm torn between Atraxa, Praetors' Voice and
Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder personally

I got all 5, but I've got a few factors grinding me down:
-I want to build all 105 partner combinations (though I am miffed that they didn't do a second ally-colored cycle with the mechanic).
-The Kings are growing on me, and yet I'm wary of them at the same time.
-I want to wield all 5, but it will eat up my budget entirely.
-People in my league will probably be using all except Saskia the Unyielding and I hate being stuck with only one option in that circumstance.

I want to build Silas Renn, Seeker Adept and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus eggs, so I'll most likely just be buying singles.
