Xavier Sal, Infested Captain
Legendary Creature — Human Fungus Pirate
{t}, Remove a counter from another permanent you control: Populate. Activate only as a sorcery. (Create a token that’s a copy of a creature token you control.)
{t}, Sacrifice another creature: Proliferate. Activate only as a sorcery. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

Yeah, I debated whether or not to put it in a commander and have Xavier Sal, Infested Captain. That is a good card but I found that the deck works best, even if it was in another format, when most permanents stay in your graveyard and I have more precise reanimation, such as Broodheart Engine. Thanks for your consideration though.

Here's a few idea pitches off the top of my head:
Marchesa, the Black Rose or Don Andres, the Renegade
theft: survives removal and board wipes easily, saltiness depends on how much your pod likes having their stuff taken away
Xavier Sal, Infested Captain combo: non-infinite combo options like Intruder Alarm or Corpsejack Menace, generally low salt
Yarok, the Desecrated blink value: lots of directions to build in, plenty of control options
That Rona, Tolarian Obliterator Flip combo I mentioned: dump your deck for per card
Vren, the Relentless sacrifice: wants lots of removal, flexible win con
If one of those looks interesting, go ahead and use it as a base.

" I becoming the archenemy at my 6-7 power tables for just having the commander"
Hol' up, lemme stop you right there homie. When facing opponents for the first time, you must do better than "My deck is a 7" - What's your manabase compared to theirs? Do you/they have a focused strategy with only the most efficient cards? What's your budget compared to theirs? These are the questions you should be asking when trying to assess if the game you're going to have will be one where everyone gets a chance to be scary at least once.
"Have I misread the room here about this commander and it's an Sen Triplets level of scorn people have"
I can say that from my perspective that Xavier Sal does not attract the ire or wrath that Sen Triplets does. In fact, Xavier seems somewhat innocuous on it own. Triplets is a problem as it just controls an opponent without any set up - your commander requires some permanents to interact with to be deemed an immediate threat. Someone else correct me if i'm wrong here but I believe Xavier Sal, Infested Captain is not a kill on sight commander.
If I sat down across the table from you during a game, I wouldn't consider your deck a threat until your commander was on the field with at least 3 or 4 sagas or with some of the more problematic ones like Binding the Old Gods. To ramp, and then tap your commander to remove a counter from the 2nd chapter and snipe a permanent each turn is pretty intimidating.
DemonDragonJ on Why Does Xavier Sal Have …

Xavier Sal, Infested Captain's abilities can be used only as sorceries, which bothers me, but I supposed that he has that restriction to prevent him from being too power, but Cayth, Famed Mechanist does not have that restriction upon her ability, so I wonder why that is; is it because her ability requires mana to activate? What does everyone else say about this matter? Why does Cayth not have the same restriction that Xavier Sal has?

Coward_Token, I fully agree with that, and, on that subject, I am very glad that Warren Soultrader has no restrictions, but I do fear that it could easily be overpowered.
Also, why is it that Xavier Sal, Infested Captain has restrictions on his abilities, but Cayth, Famed Mechanist does not? What makes them so different from each other?
