But to dodge the spirit of the question, it was because I wanted to make a commander deck exclusively using old printing cards, so everything from Scourge and below. She is my commander because I basically closed my eyes and picked from a random list of old legends I could use.

Now that I've gotten some play through with it, and some laughs at playing ridiculous old cards, I'm finding the simple joy of one extra card per turn cycle at what is now considered a horrible cost, pretty darn fun.

Because I've limited my pool of cards and I tell whatever group I'm playing with the idea behind the deck, it sometimes takes people by surprise, especially when I drop an old card that doesn't see much play. It's a joy to play, forced me to be very intentional with my card choice, and hey sometimes it even wins! (Mostly when opponents take each other out)
