Eggs as in, 1cc or less artifacts. My idea focus on sac/recast of cheap artifacts and abuse their effect, and other enters/leaves battlefield triggers.
Breya, Etherium Shaper is a good commander for pretty much anything artifact related, but there's some decent specific synergies with an eggs plan - the small artifacts make good sac fodder for her ability (especially the ones which trigger off going to the yard rather than needing their own ability to draw), while she gives you an outlet for the infinite mana some of the eggs loops generate.

Strange that I completely overlooked 4 color commanders O_O Silas and Akiri would work similar too. Probably go well with new Treasures too.
A sweet commander for eggs is Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest. It lets you loop your eggs and make a huge army, often letting you kill with commander damage. A sweet card black gives you for eggs is Yawgmoth's Will, as it lets your big turn get double big. Without white you lose out on Second Sunrise and stuff, but at least the deck would be different than other stuff you'd see around.
I play a Silas Henn deck (Silas with Eggs) and I love it. They're low cost, so re-casting them with his effect doesn't eat up too much mana that I can use to power him up with equipments. The eggs themselves confer great abilities that help him or the deck along, and can be steady recurring draw.
Let the haters hate. It's an interesting deck idea in EDH due to the 1 card limitations. Silas and Akiri is my vote since it has less of the bad reputation that Breya has.
I play Breya as sorta-kinda "eggs" - as in, I try to have every way to use and re-use them, but the deck at large is about maximizing Breya's ability and recycling until I create some kind of victory. Eventually.
That said, I am not going for the actual combo. Not enjoying the idea of taking 15-min turns, nope.

Mishra is a combo commander as far as I know, I'm looking for ones outside of combo. I'm looking at Silas Renn, Seeker Adept/Kraum, Ludevic's Opus, looking beyond Grixis there are other options like Sydri, Galvanic Genius and Glissa, the Traitor.
What are people's thoughts on this?

Mishra is good because you throw down a Possibility Storm and all of a sudden each egg you cast gets two eggs.
