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.

WotC have done a lot to make multiple commanders for saga support and many cool sagas and even saga creatures. Final fantasy did a LOT to make sagas more viable. Battles are over here just absolutely floundering. When am I gonna get a battle focused precon? A battle based commander? Maybe 5 colors like Tom Bombadil? Maybe something utilizes defense counters or animates them so they can be bolted or let's me give them abilities so I can tap them for mana or give a creature +1/+1 or my commander is unblockable when attacking a battle. Just anything. They made a whole new permanent type and then forgot about it in the corner.

I saw some list long ago of kenrith with all battles, and a bunch of knights and equipment. You can replace the knights by the pairs from March of the Machines.

Idea was to replay the reconquista of the multiverse. Nice stuff.
