So I am an avid deck builder that likes building decks. Probably more than Playing play the game itself. (though I do wish to test my decks and when i play and have fun playing, i want to keep playing. Which is why I play (exclusivelly) EDH (of and i take part in pre-release/launch parties, or draft with my friends, Conspiracy was fun)
That said I am on a quest to build 32 decks (Well 33, as I have 2 Five color decks, but they are vastly different, Dragon tribal and Superfriends(I would make Superfriends Atraxa if not for the fact that I want to run red)
So since there are officially 32 color combinations now, I decided I should start filling out the list and seeing which decks I will run. I do enjoy making lists (Even if I don't build every deck) but I do like having a reference.
so without further ado I will make this list, (i am hoping suggestions and Ideas can be given to fill out the rest. I do have one rule, i wish to avoid multiple themes (Such as having BR Goblins and Mono-red Goblins.)
So yes, fire away. Interesting commander would most likely be picked. If you want even suggest a strategy with said commander. I may be interested in playing a commander in a different way. (Such as Ramos being Superfriends instead of good stuff or combo)
I would be careful to build only decks that you find interesting rather than forcing completing the 31. Im not so keen on the 4c so dont have any suggestions there but will edit if I have some. With this said here are some suggestions
This is gonne be more expensive both in time and money.
Its okay, I'll just sell a kidney.
/sarcasm.
I know it is gonna be a lot. Luckily with duplicate cards, I can Proxy ones I already have. that's what I do with My lands and some other expensive cards.
I once proxied the modern gauntlet, mostly the tier 1 decks. I had several of the cheaper cards. But it took ages to make. And I never got to play with them enough before I had to disband the project.
You need at least 3 test games with each game. In addition you probably need to tune the decks. Unless you just want to follow the wording of the law, instead of the spirit of the law. How often do you play commander?
Are you looking at a 6 month project?

I Play commander every Thursday (or at least i try to play every Thursday, some nights i just can't make it for various reasons. Like Last week, i got a concussion at work and couldn't drive (My friend gave me a ride but at the end of the night, i learned that florescent lights were not helping my head and i should have just stayed home)
Six months, i am expecting it to take longer than that.
Actually i won't play that guy. Maybe toss him into teh deck but I think for Mono white I would go with either Jazal, Balan or Raksha. going agro swarm, Voltron or (mono-white) Cat tribal with some voltron (there is enough mono white cat support)
Some thoughts from what I have on your current empty slots:
Yasova Dragonclaw 'more power than cmc' aggro. Beating people down while they're casting their Cultivates and Cluestones.
Athreos, God of Passage attrition/discard. Focused on spamming small creatures that do something either when coming or going(often discard effects), then chumping/saccing them all day to slowly grind a victory.
Dromoka, the Eternal: let's pile +1/+1 counters on things that have indestructible and/or hexproof, go to town. Eventually. Getting a nice mix of things that naturally get more counters, and things that don't die is the key. Predator Ooze being the inspiration, of course.
Vaevictis Asmadi 'big mana' Jund. All of the mana, all day, then cast stupid-big X-costs. If I got nothing else, well, can always one-shot people with the dragon himself. Aim is to have the biggest ppol of non-infinite mana.
My four-colors are still under construction heavily enough that I can't really go on recommending them
Good luck on the project. It's fun trying to figure out how to have the least overlap between decks, in a project that never really ends.

Aetheros is the only one that appeals to me. the rest are kind of meh or in one case, not even likeable.
My monored deck is a Godo, Bandit Warlord deck. I find this imensly satisfying. It plays a lot of mana and a lot of artifacts. Not Voltron per say. I also run the 3 dorks that auto equip. I have 4 of the swords (not war and piece) for evasion. It is my favoret deck.

Yea i enjoyed Rafiq a lot and he was voltron. All 5 swords, bunch of cheap equipment, Evasion, Batterskull. Copy artifact, Sculpting steel and other to copy equipment and to top it off, Tons of Exalted. I am swinging in with 40/40 rafiq unblockable and shroud.
I'm personally at 29/32, recently started working on #30.
WU: I run Rasputin Dreamweaver blink. While Rasputin himself doesn't blink things, he's an amazing blink target, giving you an additional CCCCCCC each time he enters. (Goes infinite with the likes of Eldrazi Displacer.) I've also got a subtheme to the deck of all my removal (including counterspells) is exile. WB: I've got Daxos the Returned enchantress. Unfortunately, most of the actual "enchantress" cards are in green (and my decklist only has 2 auras, so I skip Kor Spiritdancer), but being able to pay 1WB to get an enchantment creature token is great for various sac outlets and constellation triggers (like Thoughtrender Lamia). WG: Gaddock Teeg hatebears. I don't have much in the way of a wincon (though aggro with my larger creatures works, and Helix Pinnacle works if I've locked down the table). Mostly, it's designed to frustrate everyone involved. UG: Vorel of the Hull Clade. It's not exactly superfirends, although it has enough 'walkers to warrant the inclusion of The Chain Veil. It can also do rude things with Tangle Wire, and it can win exceptionally quickly with Darksteel Reactor. WRG: Uril, the Miststalker Foglio art tribal. All the nonlands except Uril are illustrated by Phil Foglio or Kaja Foglio. (Also two lands, since they only illustrated two.) It's got some really bad cards (Trade Caravan), some staples (Swords to Plowshares), and some hidden gems (Black Scarab). The manabase can also get me there, with stuff like Kessig Wolf Run and Slayers' Stronghold URG: Maelstrom Wanderer. The deck pretty much consists of ramp, ways to bounce Wanderer, and big things Wanderer can cascade into. Vomit deck onto table, and kill people with 3 hits from Wanderer. Done. BRG: Prossh, Skyraider of Kher combo. Also Burn at the Stake because the thought of a bunch of kobolds dancing around a Planeswalker they're burning alive amuses me. WURG: One of my missing three WBRG: Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa+Vial Smasher the Fierce Mongers. My mono-blue deck has no wincons, and relies on stealing my opponents' wincons. My nonblue deck, on the other hand, runs cards such as Squallmonger which my opponents can use instead. UBRG: Silas Renn, Seeker Adept+Tana, the Bloodsower Oops! All spells. It fails about half the time without my opponents doing anything, but it can also go from "basically no permanents" to "yes, I did just win the game". The potential for a T1 Ward of Bones is also hilarious.

Once i Have all 32 listed they will be my pojects, i will only build those decks (unless a ew general comes out that just Screams "build me" If I do not already have the color deck built and said new card is better than the ones I have listed already, it will take precedence. (i wanted to build scarab god but I was far more intrigued by building vela (that and i did not have teh cards for a zombie tribal but i had cards for Vela. Plus I was playing ninja Vela and I enjoyed it even though I lost 90% of my games. When I turned her into combo, things got scary and i increased my win rate.
Naya Dinosaurs under Marath, perhaps? Marath plays very well with the upcoming enrage ability. So basically, a gimmick deck.
K&T hugs is a thing and slots into the 4-color nonblack space. Some versions are more thuggy than huggy, though (note that Riku is in these colors and makes dumb spells dumber!).
BW bleeding deck full of pingers, removal, and extort or perhaps Shadowborn Apostles and demons under Athreos.
Cheers!

Gishath is overcosted, and Marath lets you trigger Enrage with precision.
Hmm, well the dinos were not really impressive to me so not going to worry about it too much. Maybe I will find something else that is more interesting.
I'm always impressed when I see other players get this close to a full chromatic compliment of decks. I'm actually pretty lucky in that I have the card resources to actually get there, but there are some color combinations that I just have no idea what I'm going to do (mono-white and Mardu) and two that I'm totally unhappy with (Colorless and Jeskai). I also have no plan on doing 4-color decks at this point. I'm rooting for you on this one.
As for some of the spots you are missing, if you are looking for some themes to explore maybe I can suggest a few:
Orzhov - Drain Life (my Obzedat deck is an example), Sacrifice-Based (sac outlets with Grave Pact, Martyr's Bond, World Queller), or Reanimator
Selesnya - Life Gain (my Trostani deck is an example), Enchantress (Argothian Enchantress, Verduran Enchantress, etc.)
Simic - +1/+1 counters (maybe differentiating it from Atraxa by sticking only to +1/+1 counters)
Naya - 5+ power matters with Mayael, Beast tribal
Jund - I had trouble with this one as all the commanders seemingly do the same thing

With Naya i was actually looking into Gahiji, Honored One Get some prison effects to have people sort of aim away form attacking me, alone with making it a better benefit to swing at someone else.
As for WG i was thinking of going rhys, tokens matter.
As for you. Mono white could be something like soldier or marrior tribal. (Wariors work with be white god from amobkhet) and as for mardu. Really look into Zurgo helmsmasher with mass bardwipes.
That said I am on a quest to build 32 decks (Well 33, as I have 2 Five color decks, but they are vastly different, Dragon tribal and Superfriends(I would make Superfriends Atraxa if not for the fact that I want to run red)
So since there are officially 32 color combinations now, I decided I should start filling out the list and seeing which decks I will run. I do enjoy making lists (Even if I don't build every deck) but I do like having a reference.

WU: I run Rasputin Dreamweaver blink. While Rasputin himself doesn't blink things, he's an amazing blink target, giving you an additional CCCCCCC each time he enters. (Goes infinite with the likes of Eldrazi Displacer.) I've also got a subtheme to the deck of all my removal (including counterspells) is exile.

Unfortunately, most of the actual "enchantress" cards are in green (and my decklist only has 2 auras, so I skip Kor Spiritdancer), but being able to pay 1WB to get an enchantment creature token is great for various sac outlets and constellation triggers (like Thoughtrender Lamia).

WRG: Uril, the Miststalker Foglio art tribal. All the nonlands except Uril are illustrated by Phil Foglio or Kaja Foglio. (Also two lands, since they only illustrated two.) It's got some really bad cards (Trade Caravan), some staples (Swords to Plowshares), and some hidden gems (Black Scarab). The manabase can also get me there, with stuff like Kessig Wolf Run and Slayers' Stronghold
URG: Maelstrom Wanderer. The deck pretty much consists of ramp, ways to bounce Wanderer, and big things Wanderer can cascade into. Vomit deck onto table, and kill people with 3 hits from Wanderer. Done.
BRG: Prossh, Skyraider of Kher combo. Also Burn at the Stake because the thought of a bunch of kobolds dancing around a Planeswalker they're burning alive amuses me.
WURG: One of my missing three
WBRG: Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa+Vial Smasher the Fierce Mongers. My mono-blue deck has no wincons, and relies on stealing my opponents' wincons. My nonblue deck, on the other hand, runs cards such as Squallmonger which my opponents can use instead.
UBRG: Silas Renn, Seeker Adept+Tana, the Bloodsower Oops! All spells. It fails about half the time without my opponents doing anything, but it can also go from "basically no permanents" to "yes, I did just win the game". The potential for a T1 Ward of Bones is also hilarious.

Hmm, well the dinos were not really impressive to me so not going to worry about it too much. Maybe I will find something else that is more interesting.

As for some of the spots you are missing, if you are looking for some themes to explore maybe I can suggest a few:
Orzhov - Drain Life (my Obzedat deck is an example), Sacrifice-Based (sac outlets with Grave Pact, Martyr's Bond, World Queller), or Reanimator
Selesnya - Life Gain (my Trostani deck is an example), Enchantress (Argothian Enchantress, Verduran Enchantress, etc.)
Simic - +1/+1 counters (maybe differentiating it from Atraxa by sticking only to +1/+1 counters)
Naya - 5+ power matters with Mayael, Beast tribal
Jund - I had trouble with this one as all the commanders seemingly do the same thing
With Naya i was actually looking into Gahiji, Honored One Get some prison effects to have people sort of aim away form attacking me, alone with making it a better benefit to swing at someone else.
As for WG i was thinking of going rhys, tokens matter.
As for you. Mono white could be something like soldier or marrior tribal. (Wariors work with be white god from amobkhet) and as for mardu. Really look into Zurgo helmsmasher with mass bardwipes.
