A friend was wanting to play an oddball deck with a custom Swiss army knife commander. His original thoughts were 4 long winded activated abilities for each of the 4 color: a ramp for G, an opponents sac's a dude for B, a power toughness switch for U (and flying) and I forget the white aspect. We settled on making it a choose one for GWUB but cant find something appropriate for the white aspect.

Maybe a reanimate if dies? Lifelink? I don't really want another combat oriented ability given the PT switch + flying.
When playing Commander, before you add a card to your deck, you have to ask yourself:
"Is this card better than Rings ?"
If you play commander and don't have your deck[s] in the Decklist Compendium, maybe you should. Or if you're new or looking into the format, the compendium has some good advice for beginners as well as decklists.

We should all have one of these playable from our sideboards

Some random suggestions:
Exile target noncreature permanent if you control fewer permanents of that permanent's type than its controller.  (Edit: I suppose this should say "fewer permanent's than one of that permanent's card types" in order to be rules accurate.)

Target player gains 3 life or target planeswalker gains a loyalty counter. (choices in choices)

Put an enchantment token in play with "At the beginning of your upkeep, gain 1 life."

Untap a creature you control, it gains +0/+2 until end of turn.

Search your library for a Plains and put it onto the battlefield; sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

More ideas. Trying to keep it short for formatting purposes. Some spinning off of FTK:

: ~ is a Plains.

: ~ gains Defender.

: Return another card named ~ to the battlefield.

: Exile ~.

The exiling a noncreature permanent is good... wordy though given this is a choose one of 4 options.

You might try seeing what the Confederate Endeavour came up with in their attempt to make all custom 4 color edh decks community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758... If you're just looking for a ability though it might not be as much help. Full of ideas anyway I guess.
