If you are looking to slow down opponents with a bunch of discard/hate bear/taxing effects then a commander you could consider is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death.
There are a lot of 1/1 creatures that make all of your opponents discard a card, and a lot of the hate-bear cards are in the 2 or less power range. Alesha giving you a way to keep bringing them back after they die or you sac them could be a useful effect in the command zone. Cards like Dauntless Dismantler, Inspired Insurgent, or Hammer Mage might help with destroying artifacts. Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle in the 99 could work as backup for your commander. Requiem Monolith gives you a card draw engine that can also kill your weaker ETB creatures so that Alesha can bring them back.
Goblin Sharpshooter + a way to give it deathtouch like Basilisk Collar, Onyx Mage, or Vault of the Archangel lets you repeatedly clear creatures from your opponents' boards.
Alesha's signature trick is to attack an opponents who has lost their creatures and bring back Master of Cruelties onto the board tapped and attacking (getting around the restriction of it attacking alone). The opponent won't be able to block the MoC, so their life total becomes 1, and then Alesha finishes them off. Cards like Break Through the Line can help creatures like MoC push some damage through.
There are a variety of combos that you could run as a finisher. If you don't care for combos, then cards like Cathars' Crusade and Serra Redeemer can help to make your creatures more dangerous threats. If you end up running a lot of discard and forced sac effects like Accursed Marauder then you could potentially run Tergrid, God of Fright Flip as one of your game changers to steal your opponents' stuff and win with that.

I wanted to play a more combo-centric build of this deck at the same power bracket. I was curious if you know of any creature piles that basically win the game when flipped from the GY onto the table.
Something I had in mind was Ashnod's Altar, Myr Retriever & another creature card to complete the combo, since Myr Retriever could grab altar out of the GY anyways. I know this list would have to drop Lurrus of the Dream-Den, but that’s fine with me. Unfortunately you’re not allowed to run two Myr Retrievers in commander so I’m a bit stumped. Any ideas?

Companion really isn't working out for anything. Yorion, Sky Nomad and Lurrus of the Dream-Den welcome Jegantha, the Wellspring to the land of the Modern lost.
Reanimator's gotten a lot of new toys since Faithless Looting got banned, especially in MH2. I'd like to see it float back up the ranks a little bit. I suppose it would be too much for another Golgari Grave-Troll unban? That worked really well last time, right? I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen? There's a lot of options for graveyard hate right now, especially that Surgical Extraction, and Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void can still be viable when they're needed. Graveyard-omancy is so hard right now...
I'm interested to see Psychic Frog survive. Not super surprised, but I had it at an outside chance of being banned. It's very color-restricted, but it's been a good engine for several decks. I feel like it's right at the top line for Modern utility.

Looting for Gold and Riches

Hybrow Yes, plague is definitely my next pickup for Ayara, very good :). Thank you for the compliment! In terms of your Ayara, it seems like you are aiming for reanimator--not sure if Ayara is the best for that. I would recommend Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker, Imotekh the Stormlord, or even orzhov Lurrus of the Dream-Den if you want to splash some white. Those are just some ideas. I have a dimir reanimaor deck you might could piull some ideas from as well. deck-large:eldrazi-from-beneath I find looting is a perfect mechanic for reanimator.

wallisface I'm not sure comparing the overall best nonlegendary creatures to all creatures is quite the right comparison. Legendary creatures in general tend to be more powerful than non legendary creatures in general. By comparing the average strength of legendaries to the average strength of all creatures (which may actually be impossible to standardize and express numerically), I think it's reasonable to say that legendary creatures as a whole are better than nonlegendary creatures as a whole. Atraxa, Grand Unifier, Griselbrand, Omnath, Locus of Creation, Lurrus of the Dream-Den, Muxus, Goblin Grandee, and Leovold, Emissary of Trest are a small sampling of legendary creatures that have influence (or bans) in multiple formats.
Some individual nonlegendary creatures might break the ceiling of most legendary creatures, but the general floor for legendaries is much higher, and the ceiling is comparable if not also higher. Competitive formats are built around "the best" cards, but there are a lot more nonlegendary creatures by number and proportion that aren't "the best".
