With the launch of Midnight Hunt, we will be getting two Commander decks, GW Coven Counters and UB Undead Unleashed. We've already seen the counters Commander, a human Noble who produces a counter each turn and who can draw you a card.
We know that on Innistrad, humans mainly take up the GW color space, so we can likely assume this will be some kind of Human Tribal and +1/+1 counter strategy.
Undead Unleashed definitely sounds like a Zombie deck, and knowing that Zombies on Innistrad occupy the UB color space, we can expect lots of graveyard reanimation and making 2/2 Zombie tokens. We don't know the Commander for this deck quite yet, but someone did find an image of a Undead woman who did look a bit like Gisa.
We know that when these Commander decks come out, they usually are priced at 20$, and still have some decent reprints in them. We also know aside from the Face Commanders, these decks feature some new cards to help round out the strategy. Looking at the Kaldheim decks, I believe they had 7 additional new cards for each deck.
I wanted to start a speculation on what new cards we think we could see, as well as what cards we could see reprinted. I imagine a lot of Innistrad cards will be reprinted to stay on theme, plus they have a big card pool of reprints to draw from.
Below are some of my ideas. Feel free to speculate yourself on what you'd imagine could get reprinted. Feel free to also post your new card ideas!
Unhallowed Priest5BB
Creature - Zombie Cleric (Rare)
When Unhallowed Priest enters the battlefield, create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token for each creature card in your graveyard.
2/2
United Militia2W
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1 white Human creature token. 2W: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
I don’t know I have a feeling human tribal is going to be less militant than it has been in past sets. Between the leaked commander and join the dance they seem to be more celebratory more tribally lol if that makes sense. I have a theory that gravestorm is going to be introduced in this set and I think it’ll be focused in blue black. Plumb the forbidden in strixhaven was basically a gravestorm card not 100% but still pretty close. I think it would be a way of marrying magecraft and the sacrifice shenanigans from witherbloom. It could be dangerous but I think it would be a fun space to explore.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone

I do agree that there will be a shift in the way humans behave, but I also think they have to tie in the old humans of innistrad with the new ones, meaning there will likely be some holdouts of humans that are still militant and strong against the other forces of darkness.

I can see it especially in the commander precon as only like six are new cards if I remember right.

You could be right, I knew it was something like that. Thankfully that's still a decent amount of new cards to round out the tribes with!
