i think alandra has the potential to be a really fun, and decently good, aggroey monoblue commander.
drawing two cards a turn is easy, drawing 5 cards a turn is also pretty easy with stuff like time spiral and echo of aeons and puzzle box and junk. control the board a little, cantrip a lot, pop off with some hand refilling spell and swing for a massive amount. is she cedh level good? hell no. is it a fun and slightly different angle for monoblue? just enough!

So with that said only simic remains of the cycle should be a blue legend
tree of perdition is nice reprint definitely one of her better anime arts hopefully the price will be more reasonable now for me to get one.
