Give me your best and/or most fun Esper Commanders!

Hi all,

As per the title, I'm looking for esper commanders, ideally that get off the ground quickly and are capable of "doing the thing" consistently. I'm also not opposed to any particular playstyle.

I've tried a few that didn't really click with me, but I'm determined to keep trying. Before anyone tells me to proxy, yes I do proxy, and I've proxied entire decks in the past, but I try to buy what I can first (within a reasonable budget, no more than $10-20 on a single card), so many of my brews tend to include budget or "hipster" cards, as well as being a little short on tutors.

The ones I've tried so far are:

\- \[\[kamiz, obscura oculus\]\]: brought the precon, played a few games, took it apart as I felt it was repetitive.

\- \[\[Hashaton, scarab's fist\]\]: also brought the precon. I liked this deck, but it was often short of ways to win, and then a friend made a more powerful (strong B4) version that was infuriating to play against (heavy on stax pieces and counterspells), so that kinda took the joy out of hashaton for me.

\- \[\[Noctis, prince of lucis\]\]: a self-brewed deck that didn't live up to me expectations. Ideally this deck wants to combo off the moment noctis hits the field, but too much needs to happen to enable that. You need lifegain, a way to deal with counters, and a way to get the right pieces in your graveyard. It was balancing act that usually didn't work out.

\- \[\[Toluz, clever conductor\]\]: built this out of pieces left over from hashaton. Main idea was to win on end step by discarding to hand size. There were plenty of combos (about a dozen I think), but tutors were limited and I never seemed to have one ready when goldfishing.

I'm aware that some of the deficiencies of these decks may have been due to my deckbuilding style or my playing, and that's only to be expected. But I would still like some reccommendations for alternatives.

So yeah, let me know of any commanders you've had a blast playing in the past! Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
