Alrighty, I've figured out a way to get UNLIMITED EXPERIENCE COUNTERS with Ezuri, Claw of Progress (well... almost). All thanks to one card...
That's right, it's PENTAVUS! Everyone's favorite disassembling and recombining robot! And, with Pentavus, each time you create a Pentavite you trigger Ezuri's ability, adding an Experience counter. In fact, for merely 2 you can:
Spend 1 and remove a +1/+1 counter from Pentavus to create a Pentavite
Trigger Ezuri's ability, gain an Experience counter
Spend 1, sac your Pentavite, and return a +1/+1 counter to Pentavus
Rinse, and repeat!
If you've got the mana, you've got the Experience counters! Also, using Ezuri's ability to give +1/+1 counters for each Experience counter you have to Pentavus himself could replace moving the Pentavites back to Pentavus, anyway! Of course, if Pentavus drops too low, he susceptible to getting zapped... so keeping him relatively big might be a good idea.
Also, on a somewhat side note, this works basically the same for Meren of Clan Nel Toth, too. Saccing your Pentavites triggers Meren's experience-counter-gaining ability, too! I just couldn't think of a good forum title based on Meren.
An untapper like Intruder Alarm? (I've only recently been realizing how broken that card has the potential to be.) Infinite mana with a large Sage, Pentavus, and the enchantment, with all the triggers needed for either of the commanders you mentioned (note it also works for Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest alongside Meren and Ezuri). Granted, at that point you've got an expensive three-card combo, plus commander and some counters on the Sage, but whatever.

"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes... Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Yeeeeaaaahhhh. It's a cool interaction but if you get that set up there are better things to feed those time and resources into. I mean we are talking about one of the most powerful two color combinations in the format.
