It's still hilarious to me that people thought Liesa was just a worse Kambal originally. "It doesn't even gain life!""It costs so much mana!""Look at that restrictive cost!" By the time Legends turned a year old though, Liesa had taken the top spot of the whole set.
Ratadabrick really got a resurgence with LOTR, not only did it get so many legendary options that wizard had to publicly pull back, but it goes infinite with Boromir, Gollum, Samwise, and the 9 Nazgul. This means Ratadabrick now has both an infinite resource loop as a part of its main combo, but game ending combos in 2-3 cards.
I have always failed to see why people prefer Teysa to Elenda. I think the fact Elenda didn't use to work with the previous commander rules (replacing death with going back to the command zone, so she doesn't trigger) is a big reason as to why she flies under the radar. Elenda feels like the far more synergistic commander. She might not double your death triggers, but she might aswell do so if combined with a sac outlet, essentially allowing you to sacrifice twice the number of creatures on your side of the board AND doubling your sac outlet activations, which is huge (specially with Altar of Dementia, which might aswell get tripled). Couple that with the fact that she turns "return this creature when it dies" effects into even more sac fodder and she is able to pop off at a moment's notice. The only thing distinguishing Teysa in my evaluation is that you don't need to commit as hard with her and you get the vigilance + lifelink token buff. She just seems like a less explosive, more steady, but way weaker Elenda.

Yeah the ring making anything into a legendary just makes him go nuts

While Elanda is a better aristocrats commander Teysa is a much better straight tokens deck
Yes but elenda can also requires more protection compared to Teysa@@rastrisfrustreslosgomez544
Teysa ain't as fragile as Elenda
Liesa is a beast!
SO GOOD! Wanted to build a deck around her for ages but never gotten around to it
