I remember back when they released the first commander decks, the ones with Ghave and Animar and stuff, I found out what EDH was and I wanted to build a BOROS (yes) deck with an equipment theme (because I love SoFI), the general was going to be that RW dude with metalcraft.
Then we actually played with the Commander precons and the games literally never ended, so we gave up on EDH. I can't imagine building a red white commander deck I was crazy. :lol
I find EDH games and length typically has to do with your play group. I've played with a couple of different bunches, and each one has its own unique pace of play. If games are never ending, it's likely people are playing overly conservative. Which I can understand, but at some point someone's got to do something.
I rectified this nicely with my Izzet deck, which brings me to --
Best Izzet General is Melek, then Keranos.
In the style of Izzet deck I built --
-- is king, though to be fair, I rarely even cast him. I draw and draw and draw and search my library, and then I end the game with either a Palinchron-engine something or Twin/Pestermite combo. Usually pretty early. I built the deck in response to how long the games go, and wanted something that could end the game the second people got bored. Works pretty well, but since I don't play with my slow play group anymore, I don't play it all that often.
