I've struggled for a long time with the concept of how to make a mono-blue commander deck feel fun and dynamic. So I decided to do what I did with my mono-white commander deck and just take excess cards from my binder and see how they could work together. It's turned into a kind of jack-of-all trades (sans many counter spells because I don't have fun with those). It has sub-themes of odd blue destruction and stat-changing, freezing tap spells and creatures, gain control of cards, and cloning effects.

This might be the only way I can foresee myself having fun with a mono-blue commander. I normally don't like mono-blue at all. The only decks I've liked with it are Illusion tribal which is sometimes too mean and sea-monster tribal which I really enjoy (but there doesn't seem to be enough for a mono-blue commander yet).

I picked Desert Doom as my commander because I want to consistently play her more and I had no more room for her in my dragon commander deck.

Update:

After a while, this deck has evolved to become more gain control themed, but still has some of the old strange flavor.
