My favorite commander, Marchesa, the Black Rose is a deck is geared towards powerful synergies, premium card advantage and board manipulation. I've opted for a toolbox deckbuilding approach that gains value from the Marchesa recursion engine as opposed to using cards that are too "cute" within the theme. I have other commanders that are thematic or friendly, but this is my one deck with deliberate combo kills built into it making it my most aggressively powered deck.
