I've also built a 99 card singleton blue/white deck I call "Last Stand of Avacyn's Faithful" that needs a good commander to be a commander deck. I'm thinking Geist of Saint Traft, but can't really see myself spending $25 just to complete a deck of dubious quality. Besides, my local store only seems to hold Commander games on Thursdays, and that doesn't fit too well with my schedule.
Geist is a bit of a weaksauce commander, just, for the record.
In U/W, you might find something like:

or

more effective.
It wouls seem that Geist only really works if you build the rest of your deck around keeping him alive on the field, and without some big buffs, he's not a super effiecint way to bring down your opponenets.
