Just what the title says. Let's say, hypothetically, rules are changed and now hybrid cards can be used in any deck as long as one of the two colors is in your commander's color identity. What cards are you most excited to add to your decks?
We can even go a step further and add that split cards work this way as well, as long as one half is in you color identity.

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.
There are a few other cards being played in my meta as well. I have 6 decks together and only two of them are using any hybrid cards because I dont have any offhand that I feel fit my other decks. Overall I would say that the impact of the hybrid cards has been minimal so far. Its been mostly minor stuff and I think for the most part nobody has really had any issue with it.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

In terms of greatest power added, clearly adding Kitchen Finks and Murderous Cutthroat to lists enables a bunch of combos that previously didn't exist (for example, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Murderous Cutthroat + Sac Outlet in any B/x build; Kitchen Finks + Cathar's Crusade + Sac Outlet in any W/x build). In terms of decks I actually currently have built...
- Sygg, River Guide would probably run Sygg, River Cutthroat as a powerful drawing tool.
- Unmake might find its way into Drana Vampires.
- I could see my wife's Jenara Doubling Season deck possibly running Daghatar the Adamant but he's not a game-breaker and might not make the cut.
- If I owned a Vexing Shusher I'd probably contemplate running it in Daretti before ultimately deciding not to because space is too tight, my meta has few to no counterspells in it, and it isn't an artifact.
And that's about it.

Hell, I'd run him in mono-green and mono-red too too...
Other ones, well, my Jalira deck would love to add Mirrorweave and Spitting Image to its cloning subtheme.

There would be so much fun to be had. Heck, if I could just run Spitting Image I'd be peachy.
