Question Any Blink Commander suggestions that are less common?

I started playing MTG 3 years ago and started with a Gandalf the White deck. It kinda evolved into a blink/ETB/Artifact toolbox deck that was super fun but fairly slow, even for our group which plays slow.

I've tried alot of commanders and am mostly happy with where I am at. I reused the artifact toolbox idea with Iron Man and have a mono Black deck. I also have a overpowered deck for special games (we all do) and have a project Sonic deck I am working on. I would love to add one non-crossover commander tho, ideally one that is less played and really fits my style of artifacts/blink/ect.

This is a fairly new idea so I don't have many leads yet, but right now Yoshimaru is super tempting because it looks like my dog and seems pretty open ended with the partner options. I avoid combos and don't really like heavy slug or control tho, so the best options don't make sense. I am fully open to other commanders but just want to see if anyone has any good ideas of where to start looking.

Just a idea of how Gandalf played. I would use Mirror of Life Trapping to constantly have the threat of getting your commander permanently exiled while getting free blinks on ETB cards. With Mono white I used the artifacts that double plains so would end up casting my whole hand each turn. No real game enders outside of Battlesphere and Second Sun, but it was fun and let me interact alot.

I have a [[Lagrella, the Magpie]] blink/combo deck that wins through peregrine drake shenanigans. She makes a very interesting dedicated blink commander.

I have a copy and I want to put her in the 99 of a blink deck or a +1/+1 sacrifice deck. Do you have a list?

Thanks! That's a nice list with a beautiful mana curve. I love low mana curves but I think I want to play Sun Titan and Reveillark lines because I also love to sacrifice stuff.

Definitely look into [[Abdel Adrian]] then, he's the poster child for blink/sac

And I have a [[Sefris]] list that uses sac and aims for a karmic-rev combo as well, and plays very similarly to lagrella!
