I'm quite far from the completed challenge - I have a problem of not having an edh playgroup that fits my style of play (pretty close to 60-75% rule, I guess), but I've put together 2 decks: a jund -1/-1 theme with proshh as general and a GW cats go wide or tall build with the new Mirri at the helm.

I'd like to do a dimir mill deck, an azorius flyers/pillow fort, a 'cast spells without paying their mana cost tribal' build, a golgari sacrifice deck with that 2/2 insect death shaman that had been hanging out with Vraska...more, but I'm not made of $ :)

I've got one in the works that I'll finish next - Samut's Naya Tapdancers. All cards that care about tapping and untapping. That'll be 3 completed :D  I mainly do it as a mental exercise until I find a playgroup not all about turn 5 kills in edh.

Hope you have luck finding a group that desires to take out of the game what you do.

I build so many decks because I honestly enjoy that almost as much as playing them once done. I know what ya mean about the money of building decks, unfortunately some of my once disposable income is now not disposable as my kids draw closer and closer to college.  :'(

I have a question, sine some of the planeswalkers were printed as Legendary Creatures, can they be used as commanders even though they flip?

The flip Planeswalkers can be used as Commanders since they start as Legendary creatures.  Ascan the mono colored Planeswalkers from the Commander set a few years back (Teferi, Temporal Archmage has more potential in a Superfriends deck than as a Commander).

I'm not big on the mono-colored decks myself (outside of mono black 8)), that's why I'm farther with the mono-colored than the multicolored, wanna go ahead and get those out of the way.

My next deck is going to be colorless, using Hope of Ghirapur as the commander, and focusing on voltron style face smash. Not sure how powerful the deck will end up being but I think it'll be neat to beat someone's face in with commander damage from a 1/1.

Latest update:

* Karador is returning from retirement. Saskia was a good general for the Shadowborn Apostle deck but I kept finding myself wishing Karador was still running it.
* Saskia is then going to be retooled to focus on extra combat steps and maybe infect
* Tajic is having the voltron portion removed to focus more on token anthems
* Hope of Ghirapur is about 75% built

With Karador coming back, putting a new twist on Saskia to not take a step backwards, and nearing completion of Hope of Ghirapur, I'm closing in on the halfway mark of completing the challenge!

At one point I had multiple Golgari decks but ended up breaking them up to try to complete this. I really do miss my Hapatra deck.

She is an extravagant young lady, I would be proud to call her commander.

As I near closer to finishing Hope of Ghirapur, I'm looking for suggestions on my 17th deck which I would like to be the mono-white to finish up the mono-colored decks.

So, suggestions for a mono-white commander...and go.
