I don't think the Heroes and Villains decks will work because each deck needs three leaders... so say Nicol Bolas was one of the villains (to give him a good send off) and the face card was a Commander Planeswalker for Nicol Bolas... what would the other two cards be? the original Legends copy of Nicol Bolas? that seems silly to me, and still leaves the issue of the second new legend. Nicol Bolas' first Leutenant 'Crazy Zombie Dragon Warrior' could be a 3 color legend in the deck, but the idea of him being made the commander of Nicol Bolas' deck is laughable at best (Nicol Bolas himself would likely have the card shredded and banned in all formats).
I do like the idea of a Rogue/Ninja (unblockable sabotage) deck, something that touches on tribal but isn't a heavy tribal deck.
I find myself hoping once more for a Rebel deck and a Poison deck... you know, the long shots...
We need a black legendary mercenary to counter Lin-Sivvi...

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
My idea is that each deck gets a hero legend, a villain legend, and a partner duo consisting of one hero and one villain. For example, a RW deck could have Gerrard as the hero, Manfried Ulmach as the villain, and the partners could be Tahngarth (a heroic Minotaur) and Radiant (a villainous Angel).

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Where's the red in Gerrard though? His reluctance to heed the call? That's still pretty white.

Gerrard betrayed and beheaded Urza (and for all he knew condemned Dominaria) because he made a pact with Yawgmoth in order to have his significant other back.
That's pretty red behaviour.
He refused to heed the call because his best friend, Rofellos, got killed. And at the tail end of Invasion, he submits to Yawgmoth for a time because Yawgmoth offers to bring Hanna back, even though the rest of Dominaria would suffer. Let's also not forget that time Gerrard sacrificed any semblence of defense to best Greven. Gerrard is very white, but he's also very red.

I've been thinking, and I think a Dimir Faerie deck would be really cool. I've always wanted to play something like Faeries in Commander, but I feel like there's not quite enough support to make a dedicated deck.
What about a “what if” set with the 4 other elder dragon legends as planeswalker commanders? Now that Bolas is finished, give the other 4 some love.
They aren't planeswalkers, and core just had new versions of them to use as legendary commanders.

(U/B) is :symbu: or :symub: and the same is true for the other 9 hybrid symbols with their two colors in for the last 2 leters of the code. ((2/B) and co are :sym2b:)
Alternatively {UB} or {2B} in [mana] tags are (U/B) or (2/B) T is :symtap: and T will give T in [mana] tags
It would be kinda neat to see some of the randoms from Legends get a little more personality. Just at a glance, all these characters strike me as worth looking back into:

Didn't Lady Orca get compleated and turned into Tsabo Tavoc? Or was that just fanon?
As for the legends from Legends, I really wouldn't mind a new card for Gwendlyn Di Corci. Or just a card for some of the Elder dragons that haven't gotten cards yet.

Belbe is on the short list we might get her as well
There are many, many, many characters on the short list that is not so short. Just about every character who have not yet gotten a card (and several who do). But I agree with you and think Gix is very likely as he is one of the most requested characters who have yet gotten a card.

That and it was either yawgmoth or gix for modern horizons I feel the other would end up in commander 2019

Well, now the question is, what color(s) would the deck be. Black is a given, but I am not certain the deck would be monoblack. And will it have an artifact theme? A non-red/blue artifact deck would be interesting.

Black Red artifacts with Phyrexian overtones?
I could live with that as it would play very differently from the other artifact decks we've gotten over the years. Could also see a white/black artifact deck, to completely eliminate the regular artifact deck colors.

That would be pretty awesome. Let's expand it and say "batching" instead. Each deck themed around a different "batching". One would be Historic (Legends primarily, a few sagas, and artifacts), one could be a batching of a specific group of creatures, such as Canines (batching Wolf, Hound, Fox, Jackal, and Werewolf for example), or maybe undead (Skeletons, Zombies, Vampires, Wraiths, Specters, Shades...). Could be fun.

If core 2020 is a commander teaser than we have Naya with Multi-color matters, Abzan with Legendary tribal, Jeskai or at least Azorius with Fyling tribal, Temur with element tribal, white or Orzhov life gain and Sultai etb themed. Mardu could possible be the Fyling tribal deck, too because of Kaalia.
I have a feeling we're going to get RW and UB decks helmed by Gerrard and Volrath this year.

No that’s the obvious themes and there’s a lot of each in the set what we want to look at is the less obvious
For example
There’s a lot of spirits in the set and the fans were not happy with O-Kagachi, the vengeful kami since it’s under powered and doesn’t have spirit tribal synergy so they could be doing it for real with 5-color spirit tribal
Second Marauding Raptor could hint your creatures being dealt damage matter that could be the naya deck
To say what I’m talking about these creatures are good examples
And there’s two sub-themes that could happen first is a excuse to make more dinosaurs for the fans since enrage is a thing second a wolf/werewolf legend they all Ben waiting for since we want a werewolf tribal legend and ulrich was a disaster and Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves wolf tribal and damage matters

As for Tolsimir, we did get a Wolf/Werewolf lord in M20. They should honestly just give us a Naya wolf tribal legendary instead of teasing us like this.
