Commander Deck Help forum

First sorry if I put this in the wrong place. Second I'm sorry for not being able to condensed this in a way that makes sense.
So in my area friend of mine started something call silver league. Basically regular Commander but Only Commons and uncommons in the 99. We're on our way like 7th season of this, it's really enjoyable what decks that I wouldn't normally and turn two of them it's a full-fledged Commander decks after the season was over. But now that we've done this for a while I am not quite sure what to build.
I've done Combo:Experiment Kraj placed 7 out of 16 Tokens:Omnath, Locus of Wrath 9/22 Voltron:Sigarda, Host of Herons 1/14 ( made into a commander) Goad: the big lion guy. dead last ( made into a commander) Skip one season
And we're getting ready for the next which will start in November I think
And I'm trying to get something ready for that season. I've tried to put together a weaver/ kondo infect deck but it was really slow
I just got done trying a another partner combinations also super slow not really getting a board state until turn eight
I'm trying to build something that I have not done before and something that would do well without the need for rares or Mythic cards.
Anybody got a commander I could try? And card suggestions for said Commander.

Xenagos, God of Revels could operate on only commons and uncommons.

Korvold, Fae-Cursed King is a super high value card and could absolutely run on uncommons.
All else fails you could do thrasios and tymna instead and just outdraw your opponents til you win

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy sounds like he could work really well. Most mana dorks, even Priest of Titania, are commons and uncommons. Most mana rocks are also commons and uncommons. All of the infinite combos with Kinnan, Basalt Monolith, Pemmin's Aura, and Freed from the Real, can go in the deck, but the reason Kinnan is good is because he gets so much mana and can go big with it quick. You've got uncommons like eldrazi that you can ramp into. The best part about this deck, from what I can tell from a brief glance at the format, is that boardwipes are really scarce. They just are hard to come by. So you can overwhelm your opponents with more mana and cards (Of One Mind, Fact or Fiction, etc) than they can deal with.

Well you haven't done green black yet Meren of Clan Nel Toth is probably still a fun build around even if you dont have the hulk to smash everyone's dreams.

RNR_Gaming you know I've never played a graveyard deck I think I would be a lot of fun!
Lanzo493 those where a lot of the combos that I ran with experiment kraj. Big Mana taking advantage of untap effects. But you're definitely right, I think he's an extremely heavy hitter in something like this.
GhostChieftain He's a past Season first Placer. He just get so big so quick! And I just would personally like to avoid building around past winners. Thought about bringing that up and listening the winners, but I felt my post was already long enough it didn't want to add on to it longer than I had to. Gidgetimer I think he'd be pretty cool to build around as well. hejtmane I hadn't thought about that pairing but honestly I think I just burned myself out on partners.
Appreciate everyone giving me ideas. I'll end up building multiple throughout the season It's a point system tournament three sets of three games And you can get extra points what's called Brewers Delight for playing different decks for each set. So,if anybody can think of anything else let me know. if,I don't build it now. I might just use it later.

Could do lurrus reanimator and have a combo wincon with animate dead and leonin relic warder

From what I've heard so far, 2 of the first place winners were Sigarda, Host of Herons voltron and Korvold, Fae-Cursed King that could also get rather large. Sounds like going big is a good idea if you can't figure anything else

Elsha of the Infinite
can build her without top using things like Soothsaying Penance to manipulate the top of the library lots of mana rocks are uncommon or common flexibility in build styles.

Have you thought of Akiri, Line-Slinger
partner with Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
artifact creatures buff Akiri so does sials. Plus using things things like Aether Spellbomb buff akiri until you need to use it and you can pull things back from the graveyard with things like Myr Retriever and Skeleton Shard these are all commons an uncommons plus a alot of draw and fetch lands from common and uncommon artifacts
