From Naban to Urza, these are the best of the mono-blue commanders in Magic: The Gathering.

This can consistently be used to drain other players of their life without the need to attack.

Additionally, Dina can be made into an offensive threat.

Karlov of the Ghost Council is another efficient two-mana lifegain commander option.

This allows Karlov to function as a more aggressive and interactive Orzhov alternative to Trelasarra.
