I bet you guys forgot this existed. Well here's your friendly reminder that there are pieces of paper that are homeless on the street. I would say dying of hunger but I don't think cardboard need nutrients?

Anyway,

What makes an Unplayable commander?

I'm using EDHREC'S list of Unplayable commander's. They are commander's that have less then three decks on tapped out, you can find the list here.

How does this work?

I'll randomly select a commander. I'll build the rough skeleton. You send me suggestions for weird cards for it. And we'll cut it down and ship it. Let's put the minds of the internet to the test

Why would you build around (Insert bad commander) when you could play (Insert better commander in the same archetype or colors) instead, what's the point?

First off the object should not be to just build good stuff with X. If we're building Rohgahh of Kher Keep we aren't building R/B good stuff. We're building around Rohgahh of Kher Keep. Weird drawbacks and neat side effects and all.

Because if you limit yourself to just the best deck of their colors, you limit yourself to 30 decks in the entirety of the format (Mono color, guilds, shards ect), But the great thing about commander is that there are hundreds of ways to build around one commander. I can build Zedruu the Greathearted as a prison deck, a evil santa deck, a group hug deck, Heck I could build voltron Zedruu, Sky's the limit.

So instead of simply looking at the cards and seeing what they aren't, let's look and see what they bring to the table. No matter how bad it looks. No matter how weird it is.

Plus it'll be a lot of fun.

TLDR; What's the deck already

To continue the Bromance

Chandler

I feel like this is guy is asking to be broken. There has to be ways to turn this guy into a red Visara the Dreadful. The only thing I can think of is Liquimetal Coating

Mycosynth Lattice + Karn, Silver Golem, enables you to kill any permanent with Chandler. Then while you're at it throw in a Thousand-Year Elixir for a second activation of Chandler.

Mycosynth Lattice also makes it a bit easier to get all the red mana you need to activate Chandler's ability because you can spend any colorless mana as red mana.
Braid of Fire might be cool in this deck because you can use the red mana from it's cumulative upkeep to activate Chandler's ability.
