I really want the entire cycle to be Legendary. Torrent Elemental's ability feels like a fixed Derevi to me.
But mostly I want to build around Soulfire Grand Master.
Really? I would love to build a Mardu token EDH around Brutal Hordechief. I'm still so angry at Wizards that no Mardu-Commander supports such a strategy, especially after they had the keyword Raid, but no, we get Zurgo Helmsmasher, who is incredibly boring for Commander AND sees no play in Standard...
Flowstone Overseer just came to me another card I'd love to be able to run in the command zone. The potential for 7 power gives it some advantages over Kumano, Master Yamabushi.
I would love Laboratory Maniac. Mostly 'cause it's my favorite card and I got Jason Felix to alter one for me.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Wizards so far has failed to repeat the character or flavour of the original Lich. Every attempt to "fix" the downside or balance the card has failed, miserably.
The legendary "Liches" are nothing like the original, not that they meant to be.
I would like a Commander playable version of Lich.
Every time this thread comes up... it's always Nantuko shade. I have been waiting years for something like this and I am losing patience. I may just build a deck with him at the helm.
I agree. We should all only play g/x decks because they are the most objectively fun and anyone who disagrees does not know the truth about EDH. Everyone should just play their decks because interaction beyond high fiving about how many land are in play is unfun and equivalent to casting Stasis while kicking puppies. I for one will never play with anyone who casts tutors, removal spells, blue cards, things I arbitrarily decide I don't like but will probably cast myself later.
I feel like Kheru Lich Lord would make for an interesting commander; a sort of BUG counterpart to Sedris, the Traitor King who could give monstrous ETB creatures evasion and haste. Paying 2B to reanimate a Terastodon and tap it sideways sounds lovely.

I took you advice, Zygous, and put the Flamespeaker in my Squee Burn deck. Had Batterskull on him, which netted me alot of life. He actually didn't draw me anything nice, but exiled a bounce of lands, which was pretty damn sweet! Now I'm intrigued to make the deck a bit more lifegaining-equipment-based, especially since Alhammarret's Archive got spoiled.
I would like the wonder that is Villainous Wealth on a legendary stick.
Please wizards, please.
I imagine it could go something like this: 2BGU: Legendary Creature - Something Whatever "When you cast villanous wealth on a stick, -villainous wealth text- for X, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast villainous wealth on a stick.
Maybe something to nerf it a bit by making you have to play wisely before casting it, such as making the creature cost 1 less to cast for each creature card in your graveyard, thus nullifying the effect a bit? Otherwise it would be a tad bit overly strong.
The existing BUG generals don't interest me at all, feel too restrictive in all being very build-around, but the color combination does. Being my favorite BUG card ever printed, I would love its effect on a legend.
Honestly, and this sounds a bit silly, but I'd love a Relentless Rats type of commander, as in it let's you have more than 4 of a certain creature or something... Or even one that counted as a Shadowborn Apostle would be fun to mess around with.
The Nephilim would be my first pick. I've got ideas for an "everything but X" deck for 4 out of the 5 combinations. (I'm not giving up Green in a 4-color deck, if you were wondering.)

You should really try him out in your red decks. I put him in mine and he has pulled his weight quite well.
Once, I gave him deathtouch via a Basilisk Collar and was able to use him a blocker to completely stonewall a Thrun, the Last Troll that was fully voltroned. I even had him strait up ruin a game one time when I had both Batterskull and Sword of Fire and Ice on him.

I'm not a big fan of angels, but I like the not-ordinary ones that pop up in Magic. I would be all over them if I could run them at the helm.
Rakdos Guildmage - would actually be great for BR madness. Sire of Insanity could also be fun.
Viscera Seer - not enough legends that are free sac outlets. My favorite creature of all time.
