What makes an Unplayable commander?
I'm using EDHREC'S list of Unplayable commanders. They are commander's that have less then three decks on tapped out, you can find the list here. Although be warned. It hasn't been updated since last July.

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
For continuing to look behind the door of time for great commanders.
Nah too strong. Good? Decent?
Not horrible commanders
I've been waiting for this one.

Allthough this is all fine and good, It would be better to pitch this idea as an article rather than a thread.

The_Dragonmaster I actually tried to get this turned into an article way back when this started. The content is in flux though and they don't have many editors at this moment. So I still haven't heard back from them. For all I know they never even received it.
Maybe when the series is all done I'll pitch a special edition article. Who knows?

I made a comment on the deck, so that's where my thoughts will be. I even linked my decklist to you. Obviously it's beyond most people's budget because of the likes of Three Visits and Norwood Priestess but it's there if you need ideas.
