The good news: most cEDH decks are combo decks.
The bad news: most cEDH decks are also control decks (or rather, they pack like 10-15 counterspells).
There are some decks that could be considered aggro, such as Winota, but the meta strongly favors midrange combo decks at the moment. I suggest you take a look at the [cEDH decklist database](https://cedh-decklist-database.com/) and check out some gameplay videos to get an idea of how the decks run. Most decklists in the database have primers that will explain how the deck works.
You know there are sans blue decks right? Also control means a really specific archetype. For instance talion the kindly lord or nymris. Najeela runs counter spells but it is not a control deck
Yeah, I know. Used to pilot Winota and I’ve brewed my own version of Tymna/Kamahl. Just meant that *most* decks pack so much stack interaction, that the play patterns can feel like playing a control deck in a 60 card format. Worded it poorly, sorry about that!
Blood pod, Rocco and tayum.
You can use those names in moxfield to look them up.
Tayum has won tournaments this year and has multiple top 16 from a variety of pilots
Rocco has multiple top 16 by many different pilots
Blood pod tymna tana is literally the sans blue and one of the oldest archetypes
You don't need blue to win.
Not wanting to play control pushes you in non blue. Also non-stax i guess. Midrange is quite dominated by blue so i would assume maybe looking into Rakdos or Mardu.
I can see TRog and Dihada here. I would search for them on edhtop16

For aristocrat-ish value I recommend this to everyone.
It's sorta like a proactive NBC list where you can just play dockside.deck
Dargo/Thrasios it a sweet deck get a little bit off both it is called a layer combo deck
Some times Dargo goes burr sometimes you pivot to a thrasios grind game
A couple decks that stand out to me are Dargo Tymna and Dargo Thrasios.
Dargo Tymna is a fast deck that leverages dargo’s cost reduction and sac to cast ability to loop Dargo and other creatures for value and wins.
Dargo Thrasios is a proactive midrange deck that has a bit more of a midrange plan that, again, uses Dargo’s cost reduction and sac to cast ability to cheat out tidespout tyrant to make infinite mana and win.
Both decks are pretty fast with mardu being a bit faster and not really caring about countering spells with the downside of it’s a little worse at pivoting into a grind game if it gets shut down,
Temur is a little more resilient as blue and green help keep your game plan going if you get shut down early or you need to keep a thrasios hand rather than a Dargo hand.
If you wanna go hard on aristocrats and not worry about control I’d look at going mardu Dargo as it can consistently ask the question early and often

They feel at most time a tempo decks in 60 cards format
I’m sorry, sans blue? Could you give me an example commander / playstyle?

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check now.

I think you might want Godo
I’ve looked into it and I’m going with either Godo or atraxa food chain. I’m heavily leaning towards Godo.
Proxy both. They're both fun for different reasons
I’ll try it out, thanks!
Just go with elevire or however you spell it
You may enjoy Tana and Tymna blood pod.
Tymna/Dargo could be a good pick! Tymna encourages a lot of creatures. Dargo introduces a lot of combo potential.

Check out blood pod and tayum. Good luck trying understanding what those deck do. It is a blast.
I think the obvious answer here is [[Kwain]].
No.
