Does the Kodama of the West Tree and of the East Tree count? They weren't really relevant for the story, but it made me really sad to see them left out of the Kodama "cycle".
Here's some big ones i would like to see as cards: Urza
Tawnos
Ashnod
Hurkyl
Drafna
Gustha Ebbasdotter
Serra
Yawgmoth
Leshrac
Tourach
Tevesh Szat
Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
Edgar Markov, Sorin's scary-ass grandpa.
Mother Luti, the leader of Keral Keep. You don't get to be in charge of a pyromancer's monestary without being a total badass.
He would probably have something similar to one of the Tezzeret ultimates that turns an artifact into a creature. Except it would turn creatures into artifact creatures with infect. To stay on topic, Matoc. As far as I know he's only a flavor text character. Old timer? Garth One-Eye. Hee hee.
I know we're not supposed to make cards here, but the mention of Yawgmoth makes me wonder, how on earth would we make a Yawgmoth card? With all the other characters you can make kick-ass Planeswalkers or Legendary Creatures, but Yawgmoth... Maybe something similar to the Theros gods, but by now that would feel very derivative...
As for my personal nominations, they are characters who are probably a bit obscure by now. Kolo Meha, form Legends II anyone? Adira Strongheart from Legends I? Geyadrone Dihada, Pilvic, Crixizix, Garth One-Eye, Gull and Greensleeves... Sorry, I'm an old timer in the storyline community
But my number 1 nomination has to be Jodah, the main character from the Dark/Ice Age/Alliances novels. And immortal mage who was present in many important historical events stretching from The Dark all the way to Time Spiral? He deserves more than just a little reference.
If we could get more references to old characters I would be so happy....
Man, this new Commander thing makes me so happy. I know there are others who probably hate every aspect of it but I'll take the negatives (inability to truly capture the power of oldwalkers) for being able to see a glimpse of their power in card form.
So let's get back to non-walkers that never got cards (and are worthy of legendary status)
We got Gisa from Innistrad for Black....
So, from what I can remember:
Arixmethes (the gigantic kraken from Theros whose name I probably butchered)
Fblthp
Nicol Bolas' chubby mini-me
Cacophany
Ajani's brother??
Theros' God of Love
This.... "Raven Man" perhaps?
I can't think of anymore tbh...
So what exactly made Gisa a stand-out character but with no card? Was she just on a LOT of flavor text?
If they keep this up through 2 and 3-colored commander sets, then I would think Fblthp would be UW since he's on a blue and a white card and he lives on Azorius turf, and I can't help but think of Ocular Halo lol (which might make him the first UW character to get comedic invulnerability instead of most characters who are killed for being UW (like anyone with "Leomon" in its name in any Digimon series) Raven Man would at least be and Arixmethes would be and idk about the rest. Heck, Bolas' mini-me would be a walker too technically, but probably Grixis. So Pre-Mending Venser could be a thing in the future, and Pre-Mending Liliana is possible...
3WWU, 2GWW, and 4RWW! These were the mana costs chosen to summon the perfect little angel! But Professor Avacyn accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction! Chemical x Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born! Using their ultra super powers, Gisela, Bruna, and Sigarda have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!
So what exactly made Gisa a stand-out character but with no card? Was she just on a LOT of flavor text?
Mostly that her (and her brother, Geralf) featured very prominently in various world-building articles.
The two of them are necromancers, her of the traditional magically-raising-the-dead variety, and Geralf was a skabaren who used alchemy to make Frankenstein-style flesh golems. The two of them are completely nuts, and would argue about who's necromancy was better.
And by argue, I mean they would build armies of zombies and wage war on one another, rather oblivious to the goings on of the world around them.
They eventually teamed up to attack Thraben, and during the process, Geralf murdered Mikeaus.

I'm still very upset they weren't a split card a la psycho.
It just dawned upon me that we can finally get Sidar Kondo!!!! Oh please WotC.
My anticipation to the reveal of the other Planeswalker Commanders is killing me ...
If Serra gets announced I might possibly go ballistic then stalk my LGS for pre-order (because hey, this is the only way she could get material other than those Vanguard cards of decades old and she ain't gonna appear in other non-card materials like toys and the like).
Oh, and a Freyalise would floor me.
WOTC Pleathe....

I'd bet money the white walk is Serra since we have seen her angel in the core sets in the last 6+ years so even newer players who don't know the lore, are already familiar with the name.

I know about that one. There was also Vuel in the works iirc.
If there is ever a time to get some old faces....it's now.
I mean, I'd be happy with Gatha, Xantcha, Gix, Croag, Kreig, and others like that though. I'll be a little upset if we only see more recent faces.

Dying for Arixmethes (you spelled it correctly) from Theros, Choryu from Kamigawa and Jenrik from Innistrad (go figure) to hopefully get cards. I's like Riko, Michico and Chroyu's friend to get a card as well (Kamigawa) but I'd be more than content with just the three former characters making it onto cards. Hoping this happens!

Cards I still want to see created:

That would be sold at about fifty times the MSRP.
Sorry, that is false unless you present credible Market Data.

to have Gisa as a card.
Gisa is said to be part of another cycle in the set, of Legendary Creatures of old characters that never got cards.
SO HYPED!

I twittered MaRo about that not even a week ago.
He actually tried to get Kondo into Time Spiral, but was shot down (and replaced by Saffi Eriksdotter) because it was thought no one would know who he was.
As it turns out, Kondo isn't mentioned ONCE on any Magic card. Whups.
Here's what his card would have been
Sidar Kondo
2GW
Legendary Creature-Human Lord
