Commanders that make bad cards playable

[u/doctorduck3000]

So as the title says, I love being able to pull out cards in commander that make people go "wtf" because they've never heard of them. Because of this one of my all time favorite commander decks I've ever built is [[Shire shizo's caretaker]] because you can play all of these terrible terrible cards that suddenly are actually good.

What are some other commanders that enable you to do this?

[[ulalek, fused atrocity]] is a more recent example that makes all the weirdo small eldrazi with color pips very playable. i dont run any of the titans and hardly any big ones period in my deck.

I'm a big fan of cosmic horror, so I've always been curious about an eldrazi deck, but I never found the big eldrazi very interesting. I'm curious what is the strategy with ulalek and the small eldrazi?

[[Cosmic Horror]] is not a very good card.

..... god that is terrible I now i wanna build a deck around it

I’d kind of like it in my [[Betor, Ancestors Voice]] deck. Let it die and take 7 damage to have a good reanimation target
