Jirina Kudro's different from elder dragons. I fully expect the commander decks to be tied in to the set and a human that figures prominently in the book is a fine way to do that, but something big and splashy like the enemy colored elder dragons should be released in the product for everyone, not the one aimed at one specific format. I am sure they will still all make sense as commanders, since they design with commander in mind more now than they did when Dragons of Tarkir was released.
I mean we yet to see anything of the dragons but the five "heads" of the school have been featured a ton on the set packaging. I'd think its just as likely those 5 are the splashy mythic rares.

"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
Kind of interesting that they briefly slipped in the fact that the 5 houses were established by "Elder Dragons". They sound like plausible legendary face cards for the on-theme Commander Decks for this set, and probably with some "professors" or unique legendary creatures as the other secondary Commanders for the decks.
In addition to this, they also mentioned 81 new cards for the Commander decks! Holy cow. I would guess we probably have approximately 15 new cards per deck, and 6 cards (Probably artifacts and lands) that fit into each deck. I imagine this includes cards from the actual Strixhaven set: these decks feel pretty similar to the Ikoira decks.
I don't think they'd make a cycle of elder dragon founders for the commander decks, they'd go in the main set for sure. A) because they want to differentiate the commander decks more than that, and B) because non commander players would be disappointed. It'd be like making Ikoria's Apex monsters the C20 commanders.
On the other hand they talked about how linking the commander decks to the main set can do some fun ideas such as having Jirina Kudro as the face of the deck and not in the set despite her arguably being the main heroic character in Ikoria.
Also thinking on how people were upset that many of the Elder Dragons in Tarkir where not all made to be commanders coughDragonlord Kolaghancough
dude kolaghan is the only bad one when I comes to commander’s but she’s slowing becoming more useful from those relentless rats and Persistent Petitioners decks in edh and more any number will pop out eventually
Kolaghan triggers off opponents though, its more of a counter for those deck that something you can build around.

I'm gonna guess Will and Rowan will be a MDFC which is nifty since each of their cards so far will show the "twin planeswalkers" flavor in a different way.
EDIT: On that note I dont think we will se Garruk, the twins are likely here as the best picks for a MDFC walker card and likely here more for game play and story.

WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN WILL AND ROWAN!
Glad to see they are finally getting the enemy color set people have been wanting and hopefully we will likely get a few options for enemy commanders.
