Izzet already has so many good Commanders.... hmm... Simic would be nice though, I guess.
Izzet needs a commander that gives a fuck about artifacts. That is what blue and red does in Origins, so having one would not surprise me in the slightest.
Boros needs a commander that does something besides "hitting hard", since the best "hitting hard" commander is Aurelia (a second combat phase is that good). If possible, a commander that provides some form of card advantage, God knows that it needs it.
Golgari and Simic already have very good commanders, Orzhov could use another playable one since Obzedat was designed for Standard and Teysa 2.0 is bad.
Izzet could use an artifact commander, but there's Nin, that is an "artifact commander" in that she takes unlimited mana (the point of most artifact decks on EDH) and turns it into a win con :P
And, on a personal opinion, +1/+1 counters are lame and very underpowered on EDH.
i mean both nahiri and goblinface from last year had card advantage, it's just that white's card advantage is usually in the form of recurring things back rather than drawing cards

Every Ghave deck ever laughs at this opinion.
Also Boros has Gisela as a commander, who is pretty goddamn insane.

I saw someone literally go infinite by accident playing Ghave the other day.
My Marath deck is a +1/+1 counters matter deck and super fun to play. I need to get one of those new Hydra's for it to go alongside Retaliator Griffin, Sunscorch Regent and Forgotten Ancient.

Quick sidebar: In one of our drafts Shahar was playing Cuneo and dropped a second-turn Topan Freeblade. Reading Cuneo for a Celestial Flare, he refused to attack into an empty board until a Meteorite got dropped on the Freeblade’s unrenowned head. Andrew then proceeded to torment Shahar with the constant gift of Meteorites. Since I was rooming with Shahar, I decided to get in on the fun. It was great watching him find Meteorites in his shoes, glasses case, pillow, wallet, pants pockets, and a couple still unknown locations and proceed to blame Cuneo. He’s only going to find out the truth when he reads this article.

3 aetherspouts
Everything else I know is around
Ugh. My aetherspouts were a huge pain in the ass to find. Every store was out, local or online. I got them eventually but yeah. Good luck. If you're desperate you can play whelming wave, i guess. You're on your own with the others though, maybe just buy some packs? Or do any of the precons run them

On other news, there's the usual salt at Mono-Red winning tournaments at the beggining of a format, and the usual counter salt.
I believe that is an improvement over all the Abzan Control mirror matches, but hey, it's me.
