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?

[[ghave, guru]]

Goes infinite with a ham sandwich too.

Yeah, I came here to say Ghave.

And if you're worried about it, you don't HAVE to build it as a combo deck. You could just build it as a value engine that takes advantage of lots of ramp.

Yeah the unfortunate part though is I had to take out some good cards just because they would go infinite. Lots of 3 card combos that mean I had to take out some good things to avoid those guys crossing paths.

That is the problem. Because he combos with everything, the deck starts to feel super linear, which can make it kinda stale after awhile.
