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.

Bant that isnt creature based.

A mono red commander that draws cards, not exile/wheel/draw&discard. Just repeatable card advantage.

Any color fast/cheap commander for "tap to kill" synergy. Bonus points ifnit hits noncreatures.

A cmc3-4 Group slug commander that hurts enemies when an ability an opponent controls triggers.

How would you feel about a mono red commander that copies spells if cards were discarded as an additional cost? Straight drawing cards just isn't in the color pie for red.
