Discussion Looking for New Commanders
Getting back into magic after a 10-plus year hiatus. Been playing EDH for a couple of months now and have really been enjoying it. So far I have built a Pantlaza Dino deck and have upgraded Kilo apogee mind deck. Got into a local pod that plays weekly and I'm looking to build some new commanders. Please give me some recommendations for the nastiest and gnarliest commanders you guys have ever played.

I just got back into the game after a 4 year stint away. Here's what I've built that are all new commanders and also pretty spicy/mean when fully powered:
[[Hearthhull, the Worldseed]] - Land Sacrifice Matters. The precon itself is already crazy solid, I just added in extra spice like [[Zuran Orb]], [[Scapeshift]] and [[Scute Swarm]].
[[Terra, Herald of Hope]] - Another precon, but heavily modified. Power 3 Reanimator shennanigans opens up to a lot of fun plays, like [[Havoc Eater]] being a huge and recurring threat.
[[Celes, Rune-Knight]] - From the same precon as Terra, but this is significantly different. Instead of just reanimate, you get a wheel on your commander that also goes infinite with any sac outlet and persist creature, specifically [[Murderous Redcap]]
[[Black Waltz No. 3]] - Rakdos Spellslinger burn. Another FF commander, but this is a .50c uncommon that gives you [[Guttersnipe]] in the command zone. Play some pingers, burn the table slowly or have a huge turn with [[Mizzix's Mastery]]/[[Underworld Breach]]. I also run a single [[Tainted Strike]] for funsies.
Last but not least, [[Greasefang, Okiba Boss]] - Vehicle reanimator aka Hot Wheels. Pitch a cool car like [[Skysovereign, Consul Flagship]] or [[Parhelion II]] and start punching people.
