Like my last post about EDH, I will talk about a general that I would use if I were to create a mono-blue EDH deck. For the color blue, the mechanic I like the most is taking possession. The best card to do this is none other than Memnarch!
First off, a really good reason to choose Memnarch as your general would be he is an artifact that just has blue abilities. That already gives you some diversity! Secondly, his abilities allow you to take all of your opponent's artifacts (more than once per turn as well!) and whatever is not an artifact, he can change into one and take that as well! And the best part is that what you take is yours until it dies!
There are a few really good cards that should have slots in your deck. First off, there is Liquimetal Coating. This turns things into artifacts, so you can save mana with Memnarch and just take things right off the bat. If you wish to do this multiple times a turn as well, I would suggest an Unwinding Clock or a Voltaic Key as well. Secondly, there is Grand Architect that can buff your creatures and give you an insane mana base to play any bigger artifacts you have in your deck. There are also plenty blue enchantments that will take possesion of things. I think the best being Treachery, since youre practically paying 0 mana for it.
Another portion of blue I love is taking extra turns, and Time Stretch and Time Warp are the perfect cards for that!
Finally, every blue deck should have plenty of counterspells to be able to protect your commander. The best being Desertion, where you take what you counter, which works perfectly in this deck.
You can get Memnarch and any card you wish to have for his deck at an awesome price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
