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.
