Nekusar can be badass. But you're usually the number one target

Narset hands down.  Zur is a close second.  Both win without allowing anyone else to do anything about it.
This, plus Oloro Stax.

I'm partial to Arcum. It's my competitive deck. I think it's just straight up stupid.

If straight winning is your game:
{Zur the Enchanter}
{Sen Triplets}
{Uril, the Miststalker}
{Oloro, Ageless Ascetic}
{Narset, Enlightened Master}
{Athreos, God of Passage}
{Oona, Queen of the Fae}
{Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}
(Anyone notice a common colour scheme here? Esper for life, baby!)

Oloro stax

You guys see that many Oloro Stax decks? I'm the only person in my LGS that runs one...
I personally think Arcum is pretty busted. Most Stax decks I've seen run either too many creatures, or they're completely attrition based (like mine). Others run {Ad Nauseam} which has less to do with Oloro and more to running a busted combo in Esper colors.

Derevi, Zur, narset, wanderer, arcum, oloro... There's a lot

Could you like maybe name your top three

No one brings up {The Mimeoplasm}? It's pretty degenerate. Copying a {True Name Nemesis} and my commander has protection from you? Or copy {Skitheryx the Blight Dragon} and haste insta win? Or T1 {Entomb} {Jin Gitaxias, Core Augur} into T2 {Exhume}, {Animate Dead}, {Dance of the Dead} etc. gg lol

{Sedris, the Traitor King} can do reanimator too. I think the list is looking for broken commanders, not broken colors. Which is why I disagree with Oloro, because {Sen Triplets}, {Dromar the Banisher} and {Sharuum the Hedgemon} every other Esper commander ran Stax before Oloro became the best at it. If he were banned I'd just move my list back to Dromar.

Arcum and Deveri pretty much have decks build around their brokenness.
