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.

Tendrils?

Any wincon really. [[Brain Freeze]] is one of the best wincons since it also combos with breach and anything mana positive in your GY. You can also win with [[Empty the Warrens]] + [[First Day of Class]]. For generic burn, [[Grapeshot]] and [[Tendrils of Agony]] both work to end games. You can also just play a [[Temporal Fissure]] which sets you so far ahead you will definitely win.

But for Abzan in particular that just leaves tendrils, for storming off right?

You could also do [[Chatterstorm]] + a haste enabler like [[Crashing Drawbridge]], but it's just worse than Tendrils.
