Commander Deck Help forum

Time to rescue one card from dusty boxes in peoples basements.
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. You send me suggestions for weird cards for it. And We'll build it and cut it down. 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
For giving him solace after getting kicked out of the Ur dragon clan...
Well. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
He's got a cool helmet.(?)
Yeah I got nothing. Anybody got any ideas?
Ur-Draco, of the ur dragon clan

Staff of the Ages, and a couple others that blank certain types of landwalk. Might as well overdo what he already does. Even if it is a useless ability.
Don't run Filth, its a complete non-bo

K34 I barely have any other idea so that might actually end up being the final deck.
kipahlord13 Sure! Why not?

maybe helmet tribal? otherwise i think voltron might be the best bet though. Or instead of going anti-landwalk, put in as much island walk as you can.

wargodmogis: Is it bad I was actually considering this?
I kinda sorta came up with..... Something.
Mass land destruction. Your's, your opponents. Everybody's. Because sometimes you need to be a total jerk! :)
I will admit. It doesn't work super well with Ur-Drago but come on, what's more anti Swampwalk than No Lands Ever for anybody! Maybe Ur-Drago can be the only win condition.
If people don't like that, I might just be on Helmit tribal.
So I guess. YOU MAKE THE CALL!

OOOOOOOHHH CAN WE USE MY SUPER DOOPER DUMB AND JANKY LAND DESTRUCTION COMBO??
Its the first combo I ever made. Really bad and impossible to assemble, but we should run it. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Kormus Bell, and I used In Garruk's Wake, but Damnation can work too.

And it's done!
Next deck is gonna be a tad behind. I'm trying to get this turned into articles. There's no guarantee it'll be turned into an article or how long it'll take-Their hiring new editors at the moment-but we'll wait and see. In the meantime, Enjoy the fun crusher!

He's already got first strike. Might as well as do a gritty voltron.
