How would you change your favorite commander?

If you could make any single change to your favorite commander what would it be and why?
This came up for me because the single change I would make to my favorite is giving Mairsil, the Pretender haste. Haste enablers take up a good 6 or so cards in my deck that I would love to dedicate to other cards... And I see a similar trend in many other Mairsil decks where they have some number of haste enablers that really provide little to no other benefit.

I would make a printing of Titania, Protector of Argoth that comes in foil. That's it lol

Commander Anthology did that though... right? Was it just this year's that foiled the 2014 legends?

Anafenza, the Foremost I would take out the word "tapped" so she read "attacks, put a +1+1 counter on another creature you control"
Ezuri, Claw of Progress I would take out the word "another" so he reads "put X +1+1 counters on target creature you control"
Breya, Etherium Shaper I would take out the lifegain ability, and add "exile all artifacts and return them to the battlefield under their owners' control"

ZendikariWol, The first commander anthology only gave us the face legendary in foil. It wasn't until the second anthology that they gave us all the legendaries in foil. There's still no foil Titania :(

I would make 4-color commanders that, I dunno, didn't come exclusively from C16?
Also CastleSiege dude that bites, sorry!

Steelspike That ability on Breya would be broken AF. She'd be able to replace the thopters she sacs immediately, meaning there would be about a thousand MORE infinite combos she could have, and the ones she's already got would be way easier to pull off, PLUS making other artifacts better.

Radha, Heir to Keld provides mana for the whole turn, like the new version of her.

Yeva, Nature's Herald : I would make her cost one less. I already think she's perfect, but this is the inner greedy person in me.

Sharuum the Hegemon gains lifelink to support a more midrange/battlecruiser build of sharuum (like what I enjoy running). I don't really think it's worth trying to make sharuum a "better" combo commander. Breya already has that throne and trying to 1-up competitive commanders will just make for a degenerate meta.

Pharika, God of Affliction to give Pharika's controller the snake, not the exiled card's owner.

Thank you sooo much PhotogenicParasympathetic! I run a non-U political deck (feat. Thantis, the Warweaver and Gahiji, Honored One and the like) and OHMYGOODNESS Pharika's gonna kill in that baby!
Also love your name. That is all.

Yeah, there is that... Maybe add "activate this ability once each turn" would sufficiently nerf it to not go infinite with Ashnod's Altar and Anointed Procession / Panharmonicon

My personal favourite is Karona, False God . I opened her in a pack ages ago, and instantly fell in love with her unique, powerful, and difficult to build around ability.
Her having "Karona attacks each turn if able" would be a significant improvement--she takes a lot of work to effectively play, and often that work is for naught if opponents do not choose to attack with her.
