What should the theme of Commander 2018 be?

I would like to see one of two options.

1) dual colored decks led by legendary versions of characters that have only usually been planeswalkers like the Gatewatch and others.

OR

2) three colored decks that focus on groups with lots of flavor. The weatherlight's crew, phyrexia, someone else idk.

According to the C18 announcement stream going on right now:

Bant Enchantress

Jund Lands

Esper "Top card of your deck matters"

Izzet Artifacts

Also showing some of the new art. I missed the first one, but once they show them all I'll post them here

Jund is 3-color, but I am interested in all the shard color decks for sure!

There was also the art for what is likely the Bant commander. Clicked back to the stream right as it went to the next image, but it looked a lot like a Theros God.

I assume this is the main Esper commander. No idea what plane this is, she's just a fancy lookin wizard

Uhhh.... Zombie kids I guess. Obviously a black card from the color scheme of the piece, but not sure what it could be. Probably not one of the legends.

More zombies. Not enough detail to name a plane, and likely not a legend.

A knight. Might be another legend, although the art feels Mardu or Boros (which it can't be, since there isn't a deck in those colors).

There was another art from the Bant deck that had a woman pouring a jug of stars into a field of grass or wheat.

That was my favorite of the reveals.

Super excited for the Esper deck, but I'm not sure how much support the deck has. Without much support it'll probably feel a bit bad. Blue has Future Sight and Magus of the Future, but idk what else. "Top of deck matters" feels a lot more Simic than Esper because of Garruk's Horde, Mul Daya Channelers, Courser of Kruphix, Momir Vig, Simic Visionary, Oracle of Mul Daya, etc.

Yeah, good points but then remember that they can make whatever new cards they want for these decks.

RazortoothMtg, the red/black deck cannot be Jund without green; it is Rakdos otherwise.

Is there any chance of Rhystic Study, Privileged Position, or Akroma's Memorial being reprinted in this set? All of those cares are popualr in this format, but have become very expensive, which makes them more difficult to obtain.

Rhystic Study is a possibility since it was originally a Common.

The other two...I doubt it!

Would also wager that the one at the top with the masks is a Jeskai monk, given the vestments and shaved head. Also is that zombie kid from Shadowmoor? The art style feels very Shadowmoor.
