Any spicy Commander Legends brews incoming?

I'm still computing the sheer swathe of legends we've had come through, and honestly, it'll take me a little while to run through them all. Especially the partners. It's not a mechanic to be taken lightly and it'll take me a bit to see if there's any combinations that'll take my fancy.
Here's what I'm looking at building initially:
Blim, Comedic Genius
Something about this guy tickles my fancy. I'm not 100% sure there's an angle that won't make you archenemy, and I'm not really interested in giving people immediate lose the game permanents, so I'll have to mull him over and see what I can make of him that's viable and more political than just griefy.
Gor Muldrak, Amphinologist
I'm generally not a fan of what Simic does in the modern game. Near-constant access to obscene draw and obscene ramp putting the game on easy mode is pretty bland to me. This isn't that, and I like that.
Also, it tickles me that this guy is the MtG equivalent of this conspiracy theorist that I'm sort of intrigued by (more as a weird phenomenon than anything else) called David Icke. Long story short he believes that there's a society of shape-shifting alien lizard folk that control the world in various ways. Part of me wants to make this a vorthos version of that, with anthropomorphic lizards like Sakura-Tribe Elder and such, and changelings for flavour too. I could even include tinfoil hats.
He also gives me Dagon vibes from Lovecraft lore, so that might be some neat flavour to explore too.
It might be a bit too weird, but I like the commander nonetheless.
So what's everyone else brewing?
