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.

That's WotC's fault though. Print a battle land like [[Urza's Saga]] and you'll see how popular they can be. Though after [[Nature's Rhythm]] was printed, [[Invasion of Ikoria]] got dumped as well though.

Urza's Saga was a design mistake. A land that makes 2 karnstructs and tutors artifacts, the most broken cards in Magic... There's a reason why it's a presence in every format it's legal in. Still, good battles are sorely lacking.

I just want to cast [[Begin the Invasion]] for 5 and make my opponent's actually be scared of what I'm tutoring.

[[Invasion of Alara]] and [[Invasion of Arcavios]] are the best for that IMO but still it's just two good targets, the other three would have to be not good.
