The baffling nature of Mark's comment aside (reducing the product load by cutting the 4-5 commander decks a year but putting 2-4 in every set, on top of 6 sets a year now???), I'm honestly torn. Some of my favorite commanders are from the era of set-themed commander decks, and for every forgettable deck we get a Shorikai, Genesis Engine or Mirko, Obsessive Theorist, which are not just strong but give support to certain mechanics or strategies the colors didn't have a good leader for. If we accept that product fatigue is a lost cause, I'm not necessarily against themed commanders; even bad sets can have a shining piece of salvage like Mirko. (I'm betting it's on the fact that he doesn't have a hat.)

Someone suggested to pair the Necrons with The Wise Mothman, but it seems a better deck that would benefit from the Mothman would be the surveil deck with Mirko, Obsessive Theorist so we ditched the Necron plan.
