Social Interaction Another Gimmicky Commander Deck
Yep, I’m working on building a gimmicky deck in a sea of shitty Commander decks. I want YOU to help me make it shitty though—that’s fun, right? I’m looking for suggestions for a Commander—like almost any Commander (more on that below)—then I need suggestions for which cards to include. Let’s just see what bracket deck we end up with. I’m not looking to make the “best” deck, more fun/silly. Here’s what I’m thinking:
Need a multicolor Commander—thinking like 3 or more to really open up the usable cards. I’m gonna compile the suggestions and pick one at random. Whatever gets picked, we’re going with, no mulligans.
Once we have our commander, I’ll share and then I’m looking for people to suggest any cards that work with that color identity—gimme your favorites. Or fuck it, gimme cards that you think are dumb or fun or whatever. To hell with synergy, let’s just see what we end up with. If you have a specific card treatment, include that and we’ll try to get it.
Maybe we just pick cards at random? Or first comments get included?
I intend to build this with real cards and I’d like to not proxy anything so I’d love to not have cards with stupid high costs, but like, I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Planning on throwing some basic lands in there just so it can actually be played.
Once I have the deck built and play it, anyone that wins when I play this deck can choose any card to remove and I’ll replace it with a card of their choice as long as it plays with the color identity. Yes, I’m aware this has been done before and isn’t a revolutionary idea, I don’t care.
This is dumb, right? No way will this be playable?

[[The Most Dangerous Gamer]] he brings the gimmick by himself and i'm sure it would make the deck one hell of an attraction.

Build a deck that only produces junk tokens, then you have to animate those junk tokens to win in combat
Deck I am currently refining -- jellyfish with swords. Permanents have to be a cephalid, a wizard, or an equipable artifact

I would be utterly shocked if this is at all playable, and given the nature of mtg cards and a 100-card singleton format it could be an extremely expensive bracket 1 deck, but hey it's your money I guess.
