My favorite deck I own is my Jasmine Boreal of the Seven all old border deck. Lots of vanilla creatures and an enchantress subtheme for card draw. Its fun to work within the limits of old border only, and its a great excuse to look at tons of old cards.

Some favorites in the deck are Inheritance, Festival, and Moss Monster

Do you have any gimmick/special rules/unique ways of building a certain commander?

It's not together anymore, but I used to have an [[Oloro, Ageless Ascetic]] sitting in chairs deck. At the time I tried to mostly only use cards that had someone sitting in a chair, but cheated a little as long as a chair was somewhere in the art. I'm sure a lot more cards exist now, along with alt arts that you could probably fill a whole deck of seated people. That included instant, sorcery, and enchantments too. I let artifacts slide because a deck basically needs mana rocks to function.

I had no idea about this. Thats amazing.

Yes! Its very useful for the Jasmine deck. I think the search term for old border only is [is:old]

I'm still acquiring cards for this, but I have a really cool [[Mikaeus, the Unhallowed]] EDH deck that focuses on undying mechanics and ETB effects for creatures. Tons of reanimation effects, and [[Persist]] type cards.

Here's the full decklist

@MacedWindow My favourite unique deck is my Claire D'Loon deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/4162863/claire

It's plan B is to win with [[Battle of Wits]].

It's plan A is the obvious token shenanigans.
