What are some commanders that thrive in an interaction heavy LGS meta?

Played at a new LGS the other night and holy crap everyone there took "play more removal" to heart because my stuff was getting blown up all the damn time. Loads of spot removal, some wraths, tons of counter magic, and most people holding up mana for other people's turns. I had fun but I was not prepared because all my decks are fairly linear combo decks that fold when my stuff gets repeatedly blown up.

So I'm looking to build a new deck around a commander who thrives in this sort of meta. Maybe someone who's hard to interact with and is either an advantage engine, or benefits when you interact with stuff. No real budget constraints as I have most major staples already. Who could I play? Thank you.
