Hate to be a downer but I’m not too impressed with theses commanders. Really hoping we get better alternatives or at least really strong new cards that make these mechanics more viable. I was really excited for the madness deck, but was hoping that it would not be a vampire tribal deck, unfortunately that seems to be the case. Maybe they will go in a general undead direction and include and include zombies. Populate seems fun but I already have a deck in the same colors that already does a similar thing. Morph already has a lot support, and may be fun to build, but the flashback cards that are currently available don’t get me excited to build around this commander.

...do vampires really surprise you?
Out of the 37 or so legal madness cards in rakdos, over a third either are vampires or depict vampires. This was kind of a foregone conclusion, I would think.

On a happier note they all still have potential to be great. What I’d like to see is a lot of instants with flashback that are relevant to combat maybe ways to pump my opponent creature instantly when they attack an opponent. Sultai should be fun and gives me an opportunity use those manifest cards. populate looks pretty good ad will probably be best out of the box. Rakdos looks interesting to say the least I just don’t need another vampire tribal deck.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Does kerrick change your opinion
He’s so broken
Slightly he would slot well into a lot of my decks, And seems like a fun commander to build, but I just don’t see how he fits any of these themes. I assume he will be in the madness deck, because cheating discarded cards by paying life sounds like something that could be something. Maybe it won’t be vampires tribal after all.
He will be in the Madness deck because the madness deck is 2 colored. The 2 colored Deck gets the monocolored legendary. At least that was the case in the last 2 years product.
If the other decks have any additional new legendaries than they are multicolored like Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, Taigam, Sidisi's Hand etc. And yes it can happen, that no additional new legendary apart from the 3 optional commanders is added. Like in the Vampire Deck.
I don't want to bring this into CCC, but I'll throw my hat in and speculate a card that allows a break in Comp. Rule 707.6, something that will allow its controller to rearrange the facedown creatures they control in some fashion, similarly to Jeskai Infiltrator, perhaps, while still keeping the facedown creatures fully hidden (since Comp. 707.6 says if a facedown card was to leave the battlefield it is revealed first).
Wouldn't that be exciting for this deck's purposes?
So what do you think could be sub-themes or types of cards or what legendary from the most wanted could be in these
One big speculation Gavin confirmed each one will contain a planeswalker I believe all are reprints if not mistaken

A second known character in each deck is likely, ideas?
I still think gix could pop up in the madness deck
Oh and they said the tokens are gonna be big guys so new dinosaurs is getting more likely by the minute

I agree it's underwhelming. (Apart from the face-down deck, which will hopefully be good or have great politics.)

I think Garvin stated that every deck will contain a planeswalker reprint
Your already incorrect because Gavin said each one will have a planeswalker reprint in each deck
Wouldn't that be exciting for this deck's purposes?
