I am hoping 2019 offers a viable Devil commander. Maybe a per spark Tibalt or someone new entirely. I love the way most Devil creatures deal damage upon death. I Think this mechanic would be great in commander. The tribe would need significantly more support to become viable, they would need a lord, possibly a Harbinger, and obviously a commander (I was thinking one who says whenever a Red creature you control dies it deals two damage to any target, Devils have mountain walk) and several other devils with applicable abilities. Now I know most of us dread the idea of another set of tribal decks, but what if the deck was more built around the mechanic of creatures dealing damage when they die opposed to this is a deck about devils.
I could certainly see a BR deck named something like Infernal Dominion or Infernal Overlords with a focus on Demons, Devils, and Imps. Infernal Torment? A BR Ob Nixilis or Tibalt can be the CPW, and Rakdos, the Showstopper would be an excellent reprint. For that matter, so would Rakdos the Defiler. Everlasting Torment would play nicely into the theme.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

I'd be up for it because I enjoyed the idea of Devils from SOI block, I just think that they needed something more. Likewise, I think that Devils need more support outside of commander products for this to be viable but I think it would be cool if it happened.

BR Wrath of Hell Deck I could get behind it. Besides they do need to finish the Ally Color Pairs. We have GW Cats so they might as well do tribal again and do UW, UB Faeries, and RG Elementals as well. I have no idea about a good UW tribe is.
