Question of the week: What is one commander you have always wanted to build, but haven't gotten either the time and/or money to build?
One commander (and shard colors) I've always wanted to build is {Adun Oakenshield} stax. Stax has ALWAYS been my favorite archetype in magic ever since I played {Zurgo Helmsmasher}. Adun is a way to reuse some of the most annoying creatures to your advantage, while Jund colors have some of the best removal/answers in the game. Jund is a color combination I've always been interested in but could never settle on a commander.
I'm interested to hear what else everyone has wanted to build! I'm trying to do a question a week on here mostly because I've been seeing a case of in-activity in the commander section, and I'd love to change that! Thanks!
When looking at paper, I've got a few legends lying around I want to build upon. Got {nicol bolas} and {Zada, Hedron grinder} as two I really want to build. And I really want to do a chaos deck. Built a {maelstrom wanderer} list, but with just 6 green cards I could see myself changing it into an Arjun list.
I've always wanted A {Cao Cao, Lord of Wei} mass discard edh deck but I don't want my play group to hate me more then they already do.
Odric - My theme is everything has banding
Complication: Couldn't find that many banding cards

Run {cathedral of Serra} + tons of white legends... ;)
I only have one deck, which is Oloro stax (and it's sweet but feels like you're playing the worlds worst control mirror).
I'm in the process of building {Jhoira of the Ghitu}. I also went through every legend ever printed and made a list of all of the sweet ones. Anyone want the list?
I love lists, as I love brewing (commander) decks. Could you post it?
I've been toying with {Hazezon Tamar}, {Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer}, {Borborygmos Enraged} and {Triad of Fates}. I just haven't had time to expertly harness their awesomeness yet.

I'm working on Lorthos now - he's going to be Controltron. The rest I'm building eventually... When I get money.

Mind posting your list? Stax is an archtype I've always loved.
I've always wanted to build {Angus Makenzie} pillowfort, but the deck is hella expensive.

It doesn't need to be. Could be about 70 if you stuff it full of mega cheap jank ;)
(That's what you get with a 65$ legendary.)

A friend of mine built him and loves to "crap out sh*t and fog"(friends words not mine)
Me, I just have trouble affording {tabernacle at pendrall veil} and {moat} (I will never play the deck, if it is not completely finished, as it will be my magnum opus! ).
