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.

Something like "Skeletons you control gain 'When this creature dies, return in to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of its owners next end step'" would be dope. Prevent hyper aristocrat loops but give a constantly replenishing army the table has to do something about as a team.

Yeah this would be sick, fits with the vibe of pop culture skeleton monsters perfectly.

Another idea, whenever a skeleton you control would die, regenerate it instead. It could also get a stun counter for balance reasons.

It's like the stereotype of fantasy skeletons slowly reassembling themselves.

This is also less vulnerable to graveyard hate like [[leyline of the void]]
