I am also looking forward to the better reprints that were mentioned by Gavin Verhey. They know C18 decks fell short on the reprints and they want to fix it going forward.
Not having to save a lot of reprints for Masters sets is going to help. I can see that.
I really want Wedge commanders, with the Partner mechanic.
Finishing the Talisman cycle would be awesome. I am doubtful they will finish land cycles for EDH, but it would be welcomed.
That being said, if they continue only making 4 decks it will make it hard for them to complete cycles for make a Wedge commander theme. 5 cards do not split evenly into 4 decks.
Do we know if they will revisit the change to 4 decks?
I would love to see mono colored partners. I loved the partner mechanic but "partners with" on the other hand was a big let down to me. I don't want you to tell me how to partner. Seeing a bunch of mono colored partners would still be looking at 1-3 mana decks given the option to potentially pair it with another commander of the same color or the 2 color partner pairs. I really don't like 4 color decks but I really do like 1-2 colors so some mono color partners would really expand on what they had done previously.
It would be super cool to boot to see the previous partners get a reprint assuming they did mono color partners. I don't know if that's too much to ask but it would be super cool to just get a commander product with all of the partner options in them.
I would be very surprised if they did PWs again, two years in a row.
I think they will continue with the 4 decks and the higher price tag. Hopefully C19 will have better reprints though.
I think we are going to see another ability that could only exist in Commander. Partner, Eminence, Prossh, Derevi.... they will be doing something unique again.
I am hoping that it is something that scales like Prossh, and not something free like Eminence.
If they do 4 decks, there will not be a color balance.
I would really like them to do colorless though.

I would actually like to see 3-color partners. I really want 5-color Reyhan, last of the abzan.
If they made 5 decks they could do the 5 wedges and have 3-color and mono-color partners in the same decks. I think we need more Wedge commanders.
