I have build a Commander Deck around Grand Arbiter Augustin IV. He gives you so much advantage in mana fixing and the opponents will hate you for the mana more, belive me ;) Maybe you think about this nice card.

Try finding a theme that you like. Proxy a deck with the commander you want and playtest is to see if you like the commander.

Roon of the Hidden Realm is another flicker option, if you like the sound of that. Ephara can be powerful, because she takes something you naturally want to do (play creatures) and makes it better for you. However, if you build her, remember that she does need creatures to be effective, and preferably creatures with flash.

She's not in the colors you recommended but I've found Queen Marchesa to be a very fun commander. I think the fun of building around her is the inclusion of the Monarchy which can lead to a lot of interesting play dynamics. She's also very open in the way to build a deck around her. I've seen token strategies, more control-oriented plans, pillow-fort decks, and several other ideas. My 2 cents. Good luck with your build! I know how tough it is to be in that rut.

If you are looking for interesting decks, I've always found Maelstrom Wanderer to be a fun deck if built right, you could go super competitive, or have a casual really sweet deck

I think its better to run Ephara inside a Brago or Roon deck rather than using her as the commander. Between her and Brago, while she gives you a card a turn, Brago does ramp, draw, exile, copy, everything at once. Just to tempt you a little more with him, think of blinking Duplicant, Mulldrifter, Peregrine Drake, Clever Impersonator, Lavinia of the Tenth, Venser, Shaper Savant, untaping mana rocks like Gilded Lotus and Mana Vault, reseting Tangle Wire and Mystic Remora, activate a Planeswalker twice a turn...

The best blue green commander that does not have to be built around creatures is Rashmi, Eternities Crafter

Start by thinking whatdo you want for a deck to do: synergistic cool plays, damage, controlling your opponents, comboing, stacking the game... Then search for a commanders that fits the game plan you choosed. For example, I started with artifact decks because I liked synergy within the deck, then it turned into combo, so I played Sharuum the Hegemon with tons of combos, where the commander could be part of, or help to build up to.Another commander I have found incredibly fun is Brago, King Eternal, blinking stuff and doing so many broken stuff (and also seeing my opponents suffer to multiple Rishadan Brigand triggers is priceless).
Looks like you don't like voltron strategy (swinging with a 20/20 for the kill) or creature heavy decks, so I would suggest going for a more controlling, stax play. Try Brago. The deck is pretty cheap to build and yet very powerful in play.
