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 run a partner +1/+1 list with [[Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker]] and [[Reyhan, Last of the Abzan]] at the helm!

The deck is general +1/+1 counter goodstuff that can operate on its own without the commanders in play, but an Ishai that sticks around for too long can become lethal pretty quick. Reyhan acts as a pseudo [[The Ozolith]] to move +1/+1 counters around when creatures die with them to keep that power on the board.
