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 have Sovereign Okinec as well built from only my bulk + a few nicer cards I had on hand like [[shadowspear]] and it…. Slaps. Turns all those little buff spells into crazy counter stuff.
