Is there a commander you were interested in playing but suddenly lost interest?

Im feeling a little nostalgic about this topic of the past commanders I couldve made. There are many many legendaries i want to try and play. I have a favorite archetype as a voltron player but I dont want to be stuck just playing voltron partially because there was a guy who flipped out over his deck. This was when the bracket system didnt exist yet. He was playing \[\[Bruna, light of alabaster\]\]. I was interested between her and Lightpaws at the time. He never played Bruna in 3 games. Someone at our table was recursion \[\[Strip mine\]\] with \[\[Crucible of worlds\]\]. Bruna player never reached 5 ramp. He was spiteful and countering everything that player did and tried to get us involved. We kinda didnt budge and just attacked him because he was wide open. Mid game 3 he scooped and left. It was understable. We asked the recursion land guy if he knew the guy. Nope. Just didnt like Bruna. Now i dont play voltron all the time, lol.

On my discovery journey I wanted an artifact deck. Just one. It was between \[\[Breya Etherium Shaper\]\] and \[\[Meria, scholar of antiquity\]\]. The bracket system just came out, and turns out most of my decks are 3/4 with 2 precons Necrons and Dogmeat. At the pod, we were talking about commanders and what to play, and I asked if anyone had Breya or Meria due to my interest. I wanted to see it in action. One of them had a Meria deck, but said it was technically b2 since it doesnt have GC or tutors. We agreed to switch to b2. I had necrons. Someone still played b3 because he didnt have a precon or same. 45 minutes later and only 4 swamps on my side of the board, the meria player had half their deck used either on the field. We eventually scooped. I lost interest in Meria immediately. What the heck was I thinking?

There are more stories like these such as finding a landfall commander, what elf commander is best, or group hug seems cool. Those are a bit boring though. I'd like to read what commanders you wanted to try and play, and then something happened where you lost interest in that commander.
