Although most of the others mentioned serve her loyally (until she gets hungry and eats them).
I like the cut of your jib. Vampire tribal, voltron, control, combo, mana ramp: so muchversatility in one hell of a character. My love in this game shall always belong to my Queen of the vampires.

Vorthos-player with way too much time on his hands and a love of thematic decks.
EDH - Yes, Each One is Named After a Song. I love tying music to my decks.
Drana can voltron as well as she controls, and all she needs is mana and card draw. Two things mono-black is dumb good about.
You too. You Drana players are a-okay in my book.

I still have my foil copy of Drana from the first mono black deck I built a few years ago. She would lead my current mono black deck if it wasnt for Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed. The silly things him and I do together keep Drana in the 99.
I run Erebos, God of the Dead. He doesn't have as big of an impact as some other generals, but he's really solid support. He rarely leaves play so I typically only have to cast him once a game. I really enjoy having a draw engine in the command zone. Any extra mana gets sunk into extra cards. Drawing a few extra cards isn't going to win a game, but I regularly draw 10-20 extra each game. It isn't too hard to bury 2-5 opponents in card advantage. Black has plenty of ways to gain life that offset the loss when drawing, many of which I'd run anyway. I run Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief in the 99 and am usually happy to draw her, but for my monoblack deck I prefer her as a wincon and my draw engine in the command zone. I ran her as my general a long time ago though.
Interesting to see nobody has mentioned Kokusho, the Evening Star. He's a really powerful and easily abusable option. There are so many ways to cycle him in and out of the yard. I'm guessing a Kokusho deck might draw a little unnecessary hate just because he was banned and people are afraid he's too powerful, despite something arguably better having been printed at common.
Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed is my commander of choice because I like long, grindy attrition-based games. I've found myself casting him for upwards of 14 mana -- actually, I think 14 mana is about the record. To me, he's not even a creature. He's recursion in the command zone.
Black has such a variety of generals that it makes for a fun color combination.
I've tried Ghoulcaller Gisa, Chainer, Dementia Master, Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Liliana, Heretical Healer. I'm thinking of trying Toshiro Umezawa next, or Phage the Untouchable. Each build plays differently so it's hard to pick a favorite. Black just does so much well, whether it is Big Mana, Reanimation, Stax, Control, practically whatever you want. It's hard to nail down a favorite since each has a very different feel to them even though they are all monocolor. For now, it would be a tossup between Gisa's zombie apocalypse, or Chainer's reanimation/sacrifice chainings.

Geth, Lord of the Vault is good but I found he got a little boring and started to draw more hate than I'd like. Chainer, Dementia Master and Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed are both quite powerful as well.

Erebos, God of the Dead Cards, indestructible, love it.
Horobi, Death's Wail Control, whacky fun, love it.
Kagemaro, First to Suffer Mega control, combo loops from the grave, Pain, love it.
