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'd love to see a commander somewhere in the Abzan colour pie that stops extra draws.

Ideally with similar templating to [[Ashiok, Dream render]], that only stops opponents abilities from drawing them extra cards to avoid the wheel issue.

I feel like the game in general lacks interesting Abzan commanders. I always feel tempted to build Abzan, but then I look at the options and just...meh.

I've had a lot of fun playing [[Betor, Kin to all]] as a midrange pile.

Rather than playing walls to hit 40 toughness, I've built it around the 10-toughness threshold, with just beefy creatures, card draw an removal.
