Out of the main face commanders revealed for the upcoming set, Bright-Palm is the more interesting to me. I like +1/+1 counters, and its ability to double counters on creatures seems fun without being overpowered, annoying, or painting a target on me.

Not a mechanic-related thing, but is it just me or is it weird Bright-Palm isn't a monk?

The idea of this deck is to stack +1/+1s on one creature and swing- while the idea is to get the commander big and swole, in testing (which to be fair, isn't always reliable) I've beat down with a 50/50 Esper Sentinel. We can also easily go wide, since most cards here that place counters place them equally. Either way we choose to do it, we can go infinite in two ways- First, Combat Celebrant + Helm of the Host means we can continually exert the copies of the Celebrant to keep attacking until there's no more resistance. And second, we have Bear Umbra/Sword of feast and Famine + Aggravated Assault with enough lands to keep paying the cost for another way of getting infinite combat steps.
