Hey I've been in a rut lately and need a new and different commander to build around. I'm thinking blue/black or mono-blue but I need help picking an interesting commander that isn't junky or overly hated. Any suggestions/advice is appreciated and other color suggestions are fine as well.
{Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur} is a rather popular General, but a lot of people tend to find him as one of the more annoying generals, really depends on your group
Man that mana cost 0.0... Hmm he seems kind of interesting although I I see why people would hate him as they do the other praetors. Thank you for the idea.
There's always {Oona, Queen of the Fae}. She's fun to build around and I don't think she's overly hated. I toyed with making an {Arcum Dagsson} deck but decided to stick with my {Animar}. I'll look around for more general choices and get back to you, alright?
A couple lesser seen {U}{B} options for you:
{Dralnu, Lich Lord}
{Oona, Queen of the Fae}*
{Ramses Overdark}
{Sygg, River Cutthroat}
{Szadak, Lord of Secrets}
{Vela the Night-Clad}*
{Wrexial the Risen Deep}
Some mono {U} picks:
{Aboshad, Cephalid Emperor}*
{Arcanis the Onmipotent}
{Azami, Lady of Scrolls}
{Braids, Conjurer Adept}
{Empress Galina}
{Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur}
{Kira, the Great Glass Spinner}*
{Llawan, Cyphalid Empress}
{Lorthos the Tidemaker}
{Rayne, Academy Chancellor}*
{Sakashima the Imposter}
{Soramaro, First to Dream}
{Talrand, Sky Summoner}
{Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir}
{Vendilion Clique}
{Venser, Shaper Savant}
{Zuge Jin, Wu Strategist}
That should give you a few ideas. I put an asterisk next the a few that I personally like, and would like to makes deck with myself.
If you're willing to add {W} (Esper) or {R} (Grixis), you'll have even more options available in your colors, if by chance none of these flip your switch. Hope this was helpful!

Way to go above and beyond! My list wouldn't have included that much anyway. Thanks Gorzo!
I'm sick and bored with nothing to do, gave me an excuse to think about something other than mucus for a half hour :P
Wow thanks for all of the help guys these generals are all very interesting. Hmmm now to pick my favorite and get going. Thanks again for the thorough responses
{kami of the crescent moon} mono blue hugs :3
