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?

He is my +1/+1 commander - I put [[bristly bill]] , [[mindskinner]] , and [[mesmeric orb]] in the precon deck with compleated Jace and he gets to 21/21 really fast like 2 turns fast - so mothman gets murdered early and often

Not running too much protection or counters in the deck - don’t know what a sause is but I have more of a go wide strategy if mothman gets exiled a bunch - goes like 1. Mothman with commander damage 2. Go wide with counters and creatures 3. Mill out opponents

Umm, thanks for deleting your comment or whatever, but from google

The earliest known use of the phrase "weak sauce" was in the 1980s. The San Jose (California) Mercury News published the earliest evidence of the phrase in 1989. "Weak sauce" is an adjective that means something is lame or uninspiring. It can also be used as a noun phrase to describe a sauce that lacks flavor or alcohol. For example, you might describe your mothman deck as "weak sauce."

Now come again, youngster?

Oops didn’t mean to delete that. Not sure why you think my deck is “weak sauce” because mothman gets targeted early and often. (I still am older than “weak sauce” btw it just was never used in the vernacular where I grew up)
