Now sticking along with the mono-colored generals, we have the next color coming up, Red! The best red commander to have in my opinion would be Urabrask the Hidden.
My reasoning for using Urabrask would be because he is the best praetor. He gives all of your creatures haste, which is freaking awesome, and he makes all of your opponent's creatures come into play tapped, which will slow down your opponent greatly. And he is the cheapest of all the praetors, being at 5 mana. The idea with a deck with Urabrask as a commander is pretty much to deal damage quickly. Having a lot of burn and destroy spells will help you keep your opponents at bay which you are trying to get out a bunch of your bigger creatures that can do damage right away through that haste that Urabrask gives them. What is more scary than seening an Ulamog or a Kozilek attack you on the first turn they are played? Maybe a Blightsteel Colossus would be more scary, but who knows? Regardless, whatever you play will be able to deal damage right away. A good way fo rthe deck to work without Urabrask too is to but in Anger as a fail-safe, just in case Urabrask is killed too many times.
Some nice control in Commander goes to cards like Blood Moon and Price of Glory. With Blood Moon you can make your opponent's non basic lands usless if they aren't runnign red decks, and you can start eliminating opponents slowly through Price of Glory. Another awesome mechanic fro red is extra combat phases, so cards like Aggravated Assault, Relentless Assault, and World at War are amazing.
A key part for this deck too is a lot of mana. Everflowing Chalice, Geosurge, and especially Mana Geyser are really awesome for getting a lot of mana early on in the game.
Finally, another mechanic to have is mass card discarding. Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Fate, Dragon Mage, and Winds of Change will get rid of your opponent's hands quickly and easily.
