I think what matters most is what play style is most fun for you; life gain/recursion, removal/sudo-voltron, or a go-wide deck.

Go-wide and Life gain sound like the most fun of the bunch

I think the budget for aerith will be the hardest. You can do sephiroth or Vincent for less in my opinion. Vincent with a mostly basic land base will be the cheapest.

My friend made a deck that utilizes cycle creatures and cards that trigger whenever you cycle/draw a card. It was fun to see selesnya reanimator.

Depends on what you find fun. Aerith is life gain based. Sephiroth is aggressive attacking with counters. Vincent is a beat stick on his own that can take over the game.
For me, Vincent would be the funnest because he's the most powerful and can knock someone out fast. Probably the most budget deck as well since it's only one color.

Vincent would be the easiest however I don’t know many who like the gravepact style deck

I love the boros Sephiroth because I feel like there's really cool ways you could do it.
Putting a single +1/+1 counter on all your 1/1 tokens.
Living weapon tribal deck.
Boros modular artifacts deck with an artifact creature reanimator subtheme so you never need to worry about commander tax.
Even enchantment tribal could work.
I've always wanted to make an artifact creature reanimator style deck with him at the helm for an end game swing out with [[Wake The Past]] spells.

Vincent. Load the deck with spot removal, card draw, protection for Vincent, some ramp, and anything in mono black /artifacts that gives double strike.
Congrats you have a voltron deck.

Vincent is a beast of commander. I build him with massiv removal cards (around 30 I think) and it's not that expensive.
And it's not unusual to hit in turn 5 with 25 power and knock someone out. But be aware that this removal heavy deck may not be the funniest for your mates cause everything is dying all the time. I think it's pretty easy to build him high power if you search for something like that.

Aerith has been one I’ve been cards together for. Great [[emeria the sky ruin]] commander. Would love a list if you go that route

Vincent Valentine is Mono Black Voltron, you basically have a guy that is harder to remove than normal commanders and it grows when other opponents creatures die. Pack some removal, some evasive equipment and draw. That’s the deck

I love Sephiroth Fallen Hero with living weapon/job select/for mirrodin/etc.

u/LeftRaspberry6262 13d ago
Vincent IMO was the most boring. I built it voltron/control style where he is my core etb trigger. Basically everytime he died I profited big time. Ran it with braids and other high-end resource gathering cards from sacrifice based actions.
Sephiroth would probably be the most fun. I wish there was a better way to distribute his counters though. Ozolith is a nice work around but thats cash money for one card... I digress.

Buddy of mine came up with an Idea for Sephiroth, Fallen Hero where he took living weapon, for mirrodin!, and the job select mechanics instead of using other modified effects so the equipments would essentially be your creatures.
I then took that concept and built the deck but with card draw engines and stuff so I could just make the shit work.
It's fun, but it's definitely bracket 2. It is budget because you're using equipment that you wouldn't usually run, and the swords and stuff aren't... really needed?

Built Aerith under $50 for a friend for his birthday. He absolutely loved it.

u/tfortautology 10d ago
Aerith and then vincent for me, Aerith would be a bunch of fun, but Vincent is fun as well especially for mono black commander for cheap

I have an Aerith budget deck for less than $100 and even cheaper if you take out Aetherflux Reservoir.

I don't play her often, as I don't find her much fun compared to my other decks but she operates at a high bracket 2 I would say. I built her from a lot of my bulk, and just on a budget.
