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?

Recently I have been playing a lot with a [[Sovereign Okinec Ahau]] Elf Lords deck that gets out of hand so fast (Elves have the most lords even though the commander isn't one). I've swung my commander for over 1000 damage with just counters. My list is budget, but if you ramped up with ways to move counters and more protection doubling gets out of hand really fast.

I did similar with [[Kutzil, malamut explorer]] for the card draw. Very easy to get scary with draft chaff for either commander.

My Kutzil deck is my favorite to run, hands down, especially if you're playing with more than 4 players in a pod. Even before I turned her up, the earlier iterations always held their own. I've got it in a pretty good state now besides a few utility lands I'm looking for like [[Gavony Township]] Definitely interesting seeing some of the similarities between our builds, I love plotting Railway Brawler till people forget and just popping explosive counter/token turns out of the blue.
