I have the commander card in the deck and a creature I want to be my commander how do I make the creature my commander card.

See bullet points 4 and 5.

I made a commander deck (which, by the way, should contain 99 cards +1 commander card, not 100 +1) and I want to play against the computer giving it the same deck. The app crashes after I press OK. Does the AI know to play 100 card decks or just constructed 60?

Please, post the deck and i will check it

Here it is.

I've found the problem. It is a weird interaction between its trigger and the command zone. We must think how to fix it.

Thx for reporting it

You are welcome. So the problem is caused by Progenitus itself? Hmmm, this means I can't make any other Commander deck with Proggy?

Yeah. Progenitus was the guilty

I think that it is fixed. Please try it. I attach a new Conflux dll. Just overwrite the old one

Yes, it works now. Thank you very much

I noticed another problem. At the beginning of the game, I can see Progenitus in my commander zone. However, when I have enough mana to cast it, there is no commander card in the commander zone anymore. Same thing happens to computer player.

I am away from my home for some time. I will try it when i go back

It seems like the commander card is shuffled in the deck after the first turn.

Is there a way to fix this? I find BotArena quite good for testing my Commander decks and I'd really appreciate it if you could fix this
