Ok so I have a very small playgroup. Me, my brother, my dad, and our friend. So when ever we play commander I am ALWAYS the target and it's because I use this website and I am more in the know of what decks are powerful and really good. And plus even my crappy populate commander deck was the big target at the table. So I am basically asking for people to help me put a target on my head for commander. I need some help. I want to make a BROKEN commander deck that just is too op to even handle. So if you have decks built or commanders in mind please let me know! And plus if you only have a commander you can suggest please tell me some staple cards for the certain deck and what it is supposed to do.

LOL it's ok bwanabeast5! If I find a deck that I think is AMAZING but over priced I just try to find cards that are similar to the ones that are in the pricey deck and just try to make it as similar as possible. I thank you both for the suggestions! I will look at them tonight! I do have a Tatyova deck on here already but I will look at yours and upgrade mine. So I will look into all decks that are posted! Maybe I will make more than just one deck this way I am not being the target with just ONE deck all night lol!

So I built this deck and it was my first time playing. My beginning hand was BEAUTIFUL started out with 3 lands, Sylvan Library, Enlightened Tutor, Argothian Enchantress, and Burgeoning. And so with that hand I was able to start filtering what I wanted to draw and this way I could draw my enchantments and get my draw engine going. And now I am the INSTANT target when I play this deck all because of the luck of the draw. Yeah I was the target on turn 4 BIG TIME! So yeah I just want to bring hell upon my playgroup so that they can see the true power of magic!!! HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Hey, I don't think playing an overpowered deck is an answer to your problems. In fact, I think it will have a complete reverse effect where as the group will despise you and gang target you even more. If you're playing an overpowered deck the rest of the players in the group are going to target you even more than they are now. If they don't target you then you'll wreck the table because of the power level difference of your deck. This leaves the other players no choice, but to target you.
If your deck is so overpowered that the other players can't beat it how is this fun for everyone in the group? I think you're setting yourself up for even more problems with your playgroup.
Here's an idea instead of you making an overpowered deck, everyone in your group including you plays a deck at the same power level? Your playgroup is your family and one friend this makes it easy to balance the decks you're all playing. If you want a nice experience for everyone in your group then balancing the decks helps. If you have to make card sacrifices to get the others to balance then my advice is to do it. Balancing everyone's decks also can be a good learning experience for the other players in the group. You say you're targeted because you know more about Magic. Use your knowledge and teach the other players in your group. Get them to or close to your level of Magic, this will help the group and the experience of playing together.
You know what decks the other players in your group are playing, play a deck that's a counter to the others. If you have more knowledge about Magic then them this shouldn't be hard to do. If you're facing a lot of aggro then play lifegain, pillowfort, defensive creatures, board wipes, fogs, lots of low CMC removal. If you're facing midrange or ramp play control with counterspells or reanimator. If the other players in group are control then consider aggro or combo. Play something that's a counter to what the others are doing. Post here what decks the other players in your group are playing if you would like help with building a deck and strategy to counter them.
Another option is to play a grouphug strategy, strategy not the EDH theme. You help the other players at the table while also helping yourself. If you're helping the other players then they're less likely to gang target you. These types of strategies can allow you to stay under the radar of the group until it's time for you to strike.

lol I just want to make 1 deck that will be my over powered deck. I mainly just need some more commander deck ideas and just want to have that one deck that is super strong. But like I said my enchantments really aren't that good compared to on here but all because of my luck they now turn EDH into Archenemy LOL! But thank you for the tips on how to NOT be the target! And plus on your last paragraph do you have some commander(s) or certain cards/themes to build around for that? I want that to be my next commander deck after this one. I want to make a deck where I look like a wimp and then out of no where WHAM! I hit you in the face!But trust me I know making more over powered decks is not helping me out lol. I just want to make one deck and that is all. The most game play it will see is probably is one game here and there.

Not broken, but I am quite fond of Vela the Night-Clad. Infinite exit the battlefield triggers with something like Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron wins you the game. I have a deck you can steal or take a look at. It's been powerful for me in my meta, but it is no dominus for sure. Haha.

Boy I don't think he is looking to buy a deck that will cause him to work two more jobs LMAO. Here's my deck that i am planning to make this summer and with this deck you can debate on taking out more counter spells and putting in stuff such as AEtherize or stuff to were you can search for your creatures so they can attack you. Like Green Sun's Zenith. Here's the deck link, Tatyova Take Ova
