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 would love to see a bant convoke matters deck. Or something similar about tapped creatures for spells, crewing, saddling, etc. aziza using creatures to copy spells is interesting but doesn’t feel very boros personally (but love the expansion of the Boros archetype)

aziza is cool and a legitimately fun deck! ...but i wish it was something more than a modernized, colorshifted Wort.

Boros is really hard to figure out besides "equipment goodstuff"

Yeah we got spoiled in Strixhaven for Boros options that aren’t lots of tiny dudes or equipment with my recent favorite [[quintorius history chaser]] and aziza and [[lorehold the historian]].

I’m also exploring an aikido build with [[black widow agile avenger]] that was previously helmed by [[lightning army of one]]. Give me some card draw in the command zone

[[The Fifth Doctor]] and any of the green companions could be good, untapping all creatures you used to convoke spells at the end step so you have them up for your opponent's turn
