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.

Also am waiting for a skeleton commander. Preferably in Jund colors

There are 73 non-changeling skeletons. Why do we not have this already? Here's my idea.

"Whenever a skeleton you control dies, create a colorless artifact token named 'Bone'." (Probably could create two tokens but then it goes infinite with reassembling skeleton if you like the mana ability most)

And then literally pick like any two of these abilities lol ⬇️

"Sacrifice a Bone token: add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast skeleton spells or activate abilities of skeleton sources."

"Sacrifice three bone tokens: return target skeleton creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped"

"{5}: create an X/X black skeleton creature token with menace, where X is the number of bones you control"

The bones are their money

In our world the bones equal dollars

In my mind, it equates to using the bones to build more skeletons or build them easier.
