I have been thinking about brewing up a just for fun, only playing it if everyone in the playgroup agrees to it, Un-EDH deck. Given that there is a new Un-set I have held off on building yet, as I want to see what the new Un-cards might bring other than Swords of Dungeons and Dragons, which of course will go right in.
The thing about this deck that I could use help with is the Non-Un aspect of it. My quota for this deck is at least 50 percent of it has to be Un-Cards (Though more than this if fine, this 50% does include the land cards) The non-Un cards have to fall into 1 of 2 categories
1 - Commander Stable that is indispensable (Such as Sol Ring, or Command Tower)
2 - The card is hilarious, weird or annoying Such as Naked Singularity (Weird), Steam Flogger Boss (Hilarious), or Palladium Angel(Annoying)
So I am asking you guys what are some of the most head scratching, weirdest, or out right annoying cards in MTG that are specifically not Un-cards?
Also I have not settled on a General yet, if the new Un-set has a legendary commander with 2 or more colors I will likely build the deck around him/her, but failing that I am open to commander suggestions so long as the General his/herself follows the guidelines of non-un cards in this deck.
Coin flip cards could easily fit into an Un-Deck, stuff like Goblin Game would be great, Chaos Orb seems like fun as well.

Seems to defeat the purpose to fill a wacky deck with EDH staples.
For weirdo cards, I absolutely adore Knowledge Pool. Now everyone is playing un-cards!
I also disagree with the label of "chaos card" for Knowledge Pool. Chaos cards ensure randomness, for example Possibility Storm. I can't stand that stuff. But Knowledge Pool is not randomness, it is controllable as you know what your going to get.

I recommend you stay away from the traditional chaos cards that are overly complicated to resolve, like Thieves' Auction, Scrambleverse, Confusion in the Ranks, Grip of Chaos, or Knowledge Pool. In concept they are hilarious, but in practice spending 20 minutes to resolve an effect is neither wacky nor fun.
