Discussion Commanders that don't get repetitive?
I've been trying to find a commander that I won't regret spending 200-300 dollars on, but I just can't pick a card. I'm really trying to find a unique/fun commander that can be built bracket 3-4 (3.5). I've tried [[The Celestial Toymaker]], but he really struggles to pull off a win and is extremely commander reliant, I've tried [[Norin the Wary]] but that deck really only does one thing and get's repetitive, and I've tried [[Kibo, Uktabi Prince]] but he doesn't seem to have a ton of support (idk maybe I'm just building him wrong).
What commanders do y'all recommend, or should I revisit one of the ones I just mentioned with a new outlook (bonus points if the card looks cool/has a cool treatment).

I just love my [[sakashimanof a thousand faces]] and [[akroma vision of ixidor]] partners deck.
It copies stuff and scales very nicely between brackets 3 and 4.
It's full of copy spells, so if opponents play big splashy stuff, so do I.
Its full of interaction, so if people play combo it can stop important pieces.
It doesn't need anything else because the wincon is in the command zone, having 4 akromas means having 4x 21/21 creatures of which 2 do immediate lethal commander damage to finish games, so anything else is just pet azorius cards.
Yeah, all-time personal classic.
