    Have you considered just playing your way?

    My group of friends all has self constructed decks, one player likes to net-deck and keep up with the meta but the rest of us just like opening the rule book and finding weird mechanics to play with.

    One of my favorites is one I call my “undead army” deck. Its just a Grixis commander deck (99 card Singleton with a commander, one legendary creature* in a special zone meant to interact with the deck well) running Marchessa of the Black Rose. Its tuned to hand out +1/+1 counters like candy, and (in different phrasing) give all my Attackers regenerate 0.

    My partner has a dimir deck built on Basim from the Assassins creed set. Basically every card she plays other than lands and some blue mage shenanigans will trigger Basim to be unblockable. We rule 0 that commander damage doesn’t apply because of this deck.
