My play group has decided to spice things up with edh flavor decks and I am having trouble finding resources for my chosen theme. The card Hedonist's Trove has a really cool flavor of excessive wealth and opulence that I wanted to run with. I already have narrowed the commander down to either Kombal, or Queen Marchesa, but I was hoping the community might have some fun ideas for other cards to include. Looking specifically for lots of Gold in the artwork. Cards like Greed, or King Macar, the gold cursed. Thanks for any advice.
You could maybe go with cards like Abundance or Everflowing Chalice. Sort of indicating wealth and excess. I think green would be a good color to consider. You can do some ramp, keep in flavor and maybe find some bombs that fit your theme somewhere.
I know you said you've narrowed it down, but have you considered Tasigur, the Golden Fang? Its in Sultai colors so its a great fit mechanically, and the guy is sitting on a throne with a huge golden belt.
covetous dragon and hoarding dragon if you use Marchesa. You can flavorfully claim any dragon really because of their association with treasure. You can even use those gold to play them for actual flavor synergy

The dragon point is great. On that note I would also suggest Hellkite Tyrant. The card itself doesn't immediately scream "wealth!", but it is one of few dragons that actually builds a hoard as you play (and whose hoard can win you the game!). Take all those shiny artifacts.
Also the name somewhat implies rulership or lordship, even though in lore the hellkite tyrant is just a greedy dragon (its a Ravnica card and its not guild affiliated so its safe to say its ruling nothing but its hoard).

Villainous Wealth is a such a good card to run as a "wealth deck" finisher but it is off colors.

Got a Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder deck? I use Hedonist's Trove in mine, it's a "wheels" variant and generates a ton of discard amongst all players

Also lots of mana rocks could be considered sorts of 'treasure'. Especially Gilded Lotus.
