Do you have a list or is this a call and see your webcam request?
tepid flint
I do not have a list and I guess either it would take me a great deal of time to put a list together of all of the cards I have not saying I have a whole lot but a whole big booster box full

Ok, I'd suggest having a look here to begin with and picking one of these commanders to begin with
I get that picking a popular commander might not always be the appealing, but at least you'll be picking an effective commander to build around - to start with
there are lots of precon decks you can chose from but the choice can be a bit overwhelming
if you finished around 2009/2010 then you probably stopped just as or after the OG commander precon decks came out. It would've been just after Shards of Alara
depending on how long you played for before that, you might've played during OG ravnica
you're best bet is to check the commander lists and see what edh rec suggest
for building a dec
deck*, you should aim for 10 mana ramp effects (OG Rav signets and Mirroden Talismans are considered some of the best effects outside of green mana ramp)
10 card draw effects - ideally ones that aren't just one-off. You want repeatible effects like [[Kindred Discovery]]

or [[Guardian Project]]

then around 10 removal / counterspell effects.
then 5ish recursion effects (returning stuff from the graveyard is extremely valuable) and 5ish deck tutor stuff
10 card draw,
10 mana ramp
10 removal
5 recursion + 5 removal
23 whatever you want
1 commander
36 lands.
100 cards total
