A curiosity is that Antiquities is the first set that brings different illustrations for the same card
Look for commanders that want big creatures like Ghalta, Primal Hunger
On top of giving near immunity to counters, red and black have a ton of creature and artifact removal effects, and with Shadow giving them split second, you can get around most tricks that other colors can use to protect their permanents
Exile any number of target instant, sorcery, and/or Tamiyo planeswalker cards from your graveyard
These sets are either very strong multicolor sets (Invasion/Planeshift, Khans of Tarkir, Return to Ravnica/Gatecrash, Shadowmoor), sets with great removal at common/uncommon (M11, Conspiracy/Conspiracy: Take the Crown) or strong colorless or colored cards that can reward any draft (Mirrodin/Darksteel and Theros)
Beyond the credit, public detail on the artist is thin, so we are keeping this general rather than overstating a body of work
