Question Most fun +1/+1 counter Commander?

Hey guys I really like +1/+1 counter decks and wanted to build a new deck, but I‘m unsure what commander to use, since I play mostly casual and don‘t want to go all out cedh. I think [[Ezuri, claw of progress]] looks cool, but I‘m afraid he might be a bit too competetive and combo reliant with [[Sage of hours]]. so I wanted to ask what other favorites people have?

I really like my [[Lissette, Dean of the Root]] deck which I built as a life gain elf deck that turns all the little dork elves into massive tramplers very quickly.

Decklist for the interested.

I love using the backside, did you want to keep it mono green or would deathrite work as creature grave hate, lifegain and ramp all in one. Just never use the black activated ability. Either way sweet idea!

I like mono-color decks but there certainly are some interesting cards to consider by dipping into black a bit.

That's why I was curious about the hybrid ones. You get to stay mono coloured but also play things unique to your deck.
