Boy, Belzy is literally the 4/1 joke.
But us Vorthos remember! Fight back fake lore with real lore!

Not sure I'd use him in any of my current decks, though I could see it being useful in decks like Mangara of Corondor where commanders's ability removes oneself.
Similar to Omnath, Locus of Rage where its own "death" would not trigger 3 damage unless it goes to the graveyard.
For Null Brooch discard and Ghirapur Orrery to play more lands, aye? Though likely hand size would remain high with her than not.
I guess Gisa and Geralf and The Scarab God would also work due to their reanimation ability. I don't suppose Oath of Scholar would be nice in Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis and Phelddagrif? (Need DirkGently's opinion on Phelddagrif.)
For those who're interested, here is the precon deck list of "Widowmaker" that had both Null Brooch and Oath of Scholar, emphasizes on Sky/Fish strategy with some reanimation:

Base on the list, I suppose Vela the Night-Clad would also work well with low hand size.
Which commanders would work best with these? I', thinking of Chromium, the Mutable, Dralnu, Lich Lord, and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy.
Yes, one reason why Tarkir was such an amazing plane also, and much went wasted in the new timeline.
Since Ugin taught the humanoids to use Morph magic, I think he did not intend the dragons to rule like tyrants.
A nice read, I don't know many of them.
The tutor is very good in top-of-library matter decks like VV2 where you could immediately put to use (or just with Sensei's Divining Top), and her discard ability gradually put opponent in top-deck state.
With personality, too, rare amongst WotC art direction these days.
I just hope the legends are multi-dimensional, could do things in additional to the themes of the decks.
In fact, none of these decks/theme appear to be doing anything beyond what their color combination had been portrayed to do (or at least able to do) in the past. The themes are very... given, fit too naturally like combat+Boros, I was hoping for more twists, like Mono Green top-deck-matter, Mono White spellsling (yes, that was a thing in standard), Group-Pain (doesn’t have to be Rakdos), more Phelddagrif politics, etc.
Granted, there might be surprisingly flavorful and unique legends like Feldon of the Third Path, I just hope the decks would be more out of the norm.
