I was wondering what everyone was hoping for when more commander decks are inevitably released by Wizards. For me I am just hoping to see something other than wedge generals, perhaps a series of decks that focus on just 2 colors, or even mono-colored generals. I know that wedge is popular and opens decks up to more possibilities, but I often find that mono and dual color generals are more flavorful.

Interestingly, I came in to say that I hope to see more Shard/Wedge generals. A lot of tri-color combinations that I would enjoy playing lack any flavorful/capable commanders. On another note, I think the Commander's Arsenal hit the spot, although I didn't pick one up.

I would have loved to have picked up Commander's Arsenal myself - but there weren't any around where I live that I was aware of, and I'm not a big fan of purchasing sealed products online.

A commander functional reprint of all the dual lands or dual land like cards, that would only work in commander. I think this would relieve a lot of pressure on the most expensive part of this format, the mana base.
In no particular order; 4-color, wedge, and enemy pair generals. Basically, I'm in favor of more variety for the color combinations that have comparatively fewer options currently available.

It's not a commander product wish as much as a in general magic release one but;
Stop making big dumb creatures and spells. I'm sick of the 8+ cmc spells that have stupidly unthought out resolutions.

The EDH stax primer When you absolutely, positively got to kill every permanent in the room, accept no substitutes.
I would like to see more mana base support. More commanders for R/W B/W and wedge combinations more 5 color commanders. Maybe another way or 2 to bring cards back from exile, Rift Sweeper and Pull From Eternity style.
I'd like to seem some more 4 color support and enemy color generals. As other's have said some mana base support would be great. But that is something all of magic needs I fear.

And while we're at it, let's stop with the garbage oversized cards and just give us more alternate-art/foil regular-size generals. Pimp never goes out of style.
I definitely want more 3/4 CMC reasonably costed generals like Jarad that aren't OP and don't scream BUILD AROUND ME, IN FACT, HERE'S THE DECKLIST HAVE FUN GUYZ, where you sort of have to work to bring out their potential but the payoff is worth it.

The oversized cards are really REALLY annoying.
And stop making it basically a powerball drawing for each product. I want to play magic cards, not to go Indiana jones missions for it.

I guess you could do like "Azorius Command Tower," "Boros Command Tower," "Izzet Command Tower," etc. or something, which would take the place of Tundra, Plateau, and Volcanic Island for a :symw::symu::symr: deck. There's probably better ideas, but... there ya go...
i would like to see tribal based decks ... like a run of mono or dual colored generals and decks for each major creature tribe including an artifact one.
I would love more shard/wedge support. Tri lands or complete a cycle of Murmuring Bosk, charms, good guildmages (like RtR or RAV style but 3 cmc, 3 color, and 3 abilities), "Bolt" lands, and less ETB big effects and more smaller activated abilities or triggered abilities. They need to get it out of their head that EDH is a 17+ mana format and is just a singleton format.
I just want to cement what others have said about "splashy and fun" spells. Cards like Omniscience or Enter the Infinite are dumb. We want to use our brains to figure out janky, 4-card combos to do the things those cards do, not look online and netdeck ways to generate infinite mana and then play those big dumb things.
Also, I really want them to make a pinger general. Perhaps:
Poopfart, Lord of Tims 1UWR
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Vigilance
T: Untap all creatures you control that have activated abilities with T: in their costs.
3/4
or
Evilfart, Lord of Tims 1UBR
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Creatures you control that have activated abilities with {T} in their costs have deathtouch.
Whenever a creature you control with an activated ability with {T} in its cost deals damage to an opponent, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

Multani, Maro-Sorcerer - Group Hug
Aurelia, the Warleader - Multi-Attack step aggro
Karona, False God - Your spells are my spells
Glissa, the Traitor - Artifact Toolbox
Agree entirely with this. More Disciple of Bolas, less Enter the Infinite.

As long as they are like Stranglehold and not Homeward Path. This would be cool.
Stuff that help mono-white and mono-red would be nice as long as it's not more color-pie warping stupidity.
