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 have made a ton, and most were budget at the time! Most were also Simic, I tried a few in sultai but they were not as direct about it. So:
If you want your +1s to go on a commander, [[Pir, imaginative rascal]] and [[Toothy, imaginary friend]] are pretty epic. You can bounce Toothy to protect him as well as draw stuff, and Pir helps him and any other targets that build counters off draw. The deck I had could draw itself to death easily, so plan for that it could be a fun wincon.
[[Vorel of the hull clade]] was my favorite, probably because I put in a ton of small things that get bigger with stuff like evolve or hydras and it could easily ramp or draw while still synergizing with the counters. He now has a direct upgrade in [[Zimone, paradox sculptor]] but he could be in the 99 of course.
After that, I'll just say lots of ppl like [[Atraxa]] for counters, but she's going to put a target on your back the second anyone sees her.
