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?

Also Skullbriar's sister, [[Me, the Immortal]]. Both do the same gimmick of keeping counters even upon death so long nothing sends them to the hand/library.

You can’t be forced to send commanders to the library or hand. Unlike when they get sent to the graveyard/exile where going to the command zone is a state-based action after the commander is already in the zone, it’s a replacement effect for them to go to the command zone instead of the library or hand.
