We have Zeratul as Xel’naga based Protoss Commander.
What about Xel’naga Based Terran and Zerg Commander?
We can have Xel’naga Kerrigan and General Warfield commanding Xel’naga based Terran Army.
Xel’naga and Terran don’t mix too well, Zerg could have something, although I am not sure what.

We can have Warfield control Xel’naga Artifact.
If it blows up by enemy, it destroys all of Warfield’s base hahahaha

Good idea for Warfield actually. I would love to see him as commander but there is barely anything left for him besides Gorgon Battlecruisers.

Who knows, a third Terran Heroic unit could be the only appeal he needs. But not really.
I really hope they make Warfield a commander at some point.
My list of terran commanders that need to be made before they abandon the game is:
Warfield
Valarian
Ariel Hanson
Tosh
A UED commander with Valkyries
And while I’m at it, here’s my Protoss:
Rohana
Selendis
Ji’nara
Urun (from WoL campaign)
Mohander (from WoL campaign)
and Zerg lists:
Izsha
I wish they had made more Zerg characters they could use. Niadra is cannonicaly away from the battle until after Amon is Defeated, and is obsessed with Kerrigan’s last command to kill all protoss.

canon doesn’t matter in coop
Niadra, Overmind, Zurvan, are all good zerg options

It’s not that it’s completely disregarded. Just that they like doing “what if” scenarios, so we can get Tycus, Zeratul, and Mengsk. The Overmind and Niadra are potential candidates for a “what if” commander, but they are less likely to happen than characters that are still cannonicaly alive, and accounted for. We can’t be sure that they will consider characters that aren’t around at the time.

I think if anyone could be a Xel’naga Commander it’d be Ouros. Ouros could use Ihan-rii units and similar abilities to Amon. Ouros could summon Void Shard like constructs and even Void Thrashers.
As for who could be left:
Terran: Tosh, Valerian, Warfield, and Hanson
Zerg: Izsha, Overmind, Niadra, and Zurvan
Protoss: Selendis, Rohana, Ji’nara and Ouros (Ihan-rii)
If Overmind is on the table, then so are Zerg cerebrates, and each one had a specialty. We only ever got speaking lines from Zasz and Daggoth, though. Canonically, Zasz did hit-and-run, but Daggoth specialized in sky zerg, which could be interesting.
But the wiki says Blizz is not having cerebrates in order to “play nice with Games Workshop,” whatever that means.
Edit: it means the IP conflict with Warhammer 40k.
Very good list. There really many commanders to make.
I would buy them - Blizzard!, let´s go make them, there are players who want to pay for them ;))
I like how some Terran and Zerg commanders influence each other. Kerrigan, Zagara, Stukov, Stetmann, Mengsk all have units that are both Terran and Zerg themed.
I’m thinking Valerian could use reverse-engineered Pylons. Warping in his forces instead of dropping them in via pods. Maybe some units of his could use reverse-engineered Protoss tech for special abilities. Maybe Sword wielding Umojan Ghosts? Or his Ghosts could switch from Sniper to Sword like Arcturus’s Troopers? Maybe Valerian’s forces could gain shields?
From HotS concept art and his emergency landed Battlecruiser, I’d love to see Zeus Landers make an appearance for him.
He’d need some pretty distinct mechanics, though.
I think Warfield should be on the field. He does have a cannon arm for crying out loud! Let him/us use it!
Also he should use Warhounds.

The Dominion’s finest general…
…using trashy modified SCVs. To be fair, I really want to see Warhounds and certain other units so I’m fine with it.
He’s pretty cool, but I’m not sure he should be a hero unit.
He should definitely have Warhounds, though.
Maybe he calls down a Gorgon that can use the old beta BC Plasma Torpedoes AOE anti-ground attack?
Or maybe they’d target up to two ground units and two air units at once to show off their size and array of weapons.
Given the HotS Char mission theme of Terrans occupying Zerg territory, some focus on taking and holding ground could help, but I’m not sure on specifics.
Ik kerrigan is already in the game, but I won’t mind seeing a xelnaga kerri commander.
Does anyone wonder what would be a Zerg Xel’naga will look though it will look very weird, just use void rifts to mimic other units
Ihan-rii are already used by Zeratul
