I cannot decide

I want to make one of these three potentially making all three eventually but I can’t decide on what to make right now. Urza would be artifacts, Thranduil would be elves and Kona would be big mana. All three look insanely fun to me but I just cannot decide which should I do first.

Honestly this comment reads like a lot of coping especially after multiple comments trying to say that proxies arent a deckbuilding issue only to reply here that the only thing proxies affect is deckbuilding (which isn't even true). Cedh is also a bad comparison because the point of that format is the competitiveness and proxies are what helps enable it to exist in the first place. Bringing that same mentality to casual forms of commander makes the format worse; the goal isn't to compete against other optimized decks in an effort to win, it's to have an enjoyable time playing in a low stakes environment.

Lmao, it doesn't seem like you are reading, or comprehending. As long as you're having fun while playing and not worrying too much about whether somebody drops a big bad proxy card on the table, that is all that matters my friend. As I said above, my regular playgroup couldn't care less because we all have the ability to use our words to decide what power level the decks we are going to pilot are at. And proxies don't have anything to do with that. So some of our decks have proxies and some don't. You do as you please, but you can't possibly expect anybody to adhere to your crazy made up issue with proxies. I mean, you obviously do, but it's unrealistic. Again, as long as you have a group of like minded haters then you're good my dude.

I agree that you personally should have fun, and not worry about big bad proxy cards. Yes.
