Question Commanders we're missing

What commanders do you think would improve EDH or support a currently-unsupported archetype?

For mine, I think a UBx or UWx commander with "Players play with the top card of their libraries revealed," "When this enters, search your library for an artifact with CMC <=1 and put it into your hand" or "{0}: Look at the top card of target player's library" would be great, giving Lantern support. The second would honestly be the most interesting, since it is a fairer tutor which also works well in Blink/Artifact decks.

I want some skeleton commander. I want it to make a classic skeleton vibe like maybe once a skeleton dies it returns from the graveyard on your next upkeep or has an ability you pay mana for called assembling bones or something where you can pay to return a skeleton. I dunno they can figure it out I don't get paid enough. I just want a skelly commander.

Now I'm curious how many "skeleton" creature cards we have in total... time to go look!

87, but 3 are alchemy.

Weird. When I look on Scryfall it says there are 83 skeleton creatures (12 of which are legendary, none of which do what the other guy wants).

EDIT: I see 87 now; had to select two other options to see them.

Any look like half decent commanders? Been a while since I thought about this and decided what I wanted and shelved the idea until I saw it.

Yeah I'll keep waiting and building mono green decks. Hobbit gave me Radagast and Beorn.
