You have no maximum hand size.
Whenever Body of Knowledge is dealt damage, draw that many cards.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Body of Knowledge plus Niv Mizzet (original or parun) lets you draw your deck, right?
Yep. Notably this is nothing new. That already worked with Curiousity, and it let you burn out your opponents while you did so, so this is a "worse" combo than Niv is already capable of.
If it is there's nothing to expect of something like a planeswalker with partner
No and no. The set will only have 2 planeswalkers. I think one Mythic white sorcery and one black Mythic nonlegendary creature is missing but I am not sure. And I didn't looked into the missing partners. I believe a black one is missing there, too.
Hoping the next commander legends would had expand the partner into a new mechanic like
Comrade(You can have this card as an additional commander if your commander has no assigned partner)
I was hoping for another white angel planeswalker with partner maybe next time.
I hope shadow and infect would be revisted as commanders
Dude... this would be broken as hell.
If comrade existed, everyone would be able to slap a comrade on all of their preexisting (non-partner) decks for zero cost to get an extra card in the command zone. If you've forgotten, Lutri was banned the day it was revealed because every Izzet deck could add it as an extra card you start with... and you want to print a whole bunch of those cards.
Even if the only comrade was Prismatic Piper (so you could expand the color identity of your decks by one color), that would still be too powerful.

Apologies if I'm not reading sarcasm but dang.
That would be far different than Lutri. Lutri was a card that would only benefit ur and would go in every one of those decks, making it a very expensive and difficult to reprint card. the piper is on 1 in 6 commander legends packs and letting every deck graft it on wouldn't unbalance the format at all. It would optionally add a color to every deck but 5 color, solve the 4 color problem, let you graft in that hybrid card, put less pressure to add unnessary colors to commanders in the future, solve the wastes problem, and probably many others. It should totally be a thing. I mean yes, it is an extra card, but that extra card is suckier than Hill Giant and every deck could have it, not one combination.

It's still an extra card and color for every aingle deck ever. This, in and of itself, doesn't make unviable decks more viable, but does make oppressive ones more oppressive.

So, basically it has about the same effect as the continued printing of new sets or not banning massive amounts of cards. I mean if you banned thousands of cards, weak commanders could really shine. Short of that, thre isn't reallly much you can do to change that. The real question is, does it make the format more fun? The potential extra card per deck is negligible because you would almost certainly cast any spell in your entire deck over it. It's basically just an emblem/monarch marker/city's blessing unless you literally have nothing to cast other than a vanilla 3/3 for 5. It's about the same level of broken as a free colorless land per deck that you only get to play if you have 7 or more lands. I mean sure drawing 17 lands when you only have 10 on the battlefield is card advantage in the most technical sense, but unless you can do something useful with them, they aren't card advantage in a practical sense. It really comes down to whether being able to add up to one color to any commander deck with less than 5 would make the format more enjoyable on the whole for people that aren't purposely breaking it. I mean if you don't want an extra color, you can just choose to have the extra card unless you're playing colorless. It's possible there's a game where you might actually cast it. It would even lead to the cool story someday of how someone managed to win with it. I think it would be quite entertaning.

Obviously no one would ever use it to add red to spider tribal add that hybrid card they want, splash for answers, play that off color card that's got such great synergy with the commander, play that dfc with a problematic color identity, or any of that. No one would ever use it to splash in green ramp into colors that don't have it or anything like that. The only thing people will ever do is use it to add additional combos and tutors to their decks.

Everywhere I've played commander in person, people tend to shun infinite combos. There's also a lot of playing silver bordered cards, pet cards, tribal decks, etc. Sure there will be people out there that will use any powerful card to break the format even more, but it's not that hard to break the format now. I've played commander with proxied Ancestral Recalls and Black Lotuses flying around at not breaking games. If you're powering out your Progenitus or something, it can be pretty neat.
I could see them doing Comrade if it had a downside or two. That way, adding another color to a commander is a process you have to think about. I've seen various versions of adding one color to a commander that had starting hand size reduced by one, skip their first draw step, or increasing the casting cost of the commander by 1 of the new color. I've dabbled on the idea, that gave your opponents X thing where X was the number of times you cast the main commander that game.
tl;dr: I think it's possible to add a color if some downsides went with the decision.

Because they keep saying that they want to print some better cards in white and they keep delivering us with one card in each set.Akroma's Will, Keeper of the Accord and Armored Skyhunter are good.
