So I'm looking to make a superfriends commander. I know I'm either going to use progenitus or Cromat (which I already have). My question is what kind of landbase would you guys suggest(cheap would be nice) and what planeswalkers should I include.
Well cheapest you can get are the new guildgates. With gatecrash thats 10 dualies that are cheap. Other than that i think the "Tainted" lands are pretty cheap. Bounce lands arent too expensive either
Cheap + superfriends doesn't exactly mix, them walkers are expensive!
But yeah, guild gates for sure are cheap dual lands, and you will probably want guild signets and bounce lands from old Ravnica too. The Zendikar "refuge lands are pretty cheap too. Alara triple lands like {Crumbling Necropolis} aren't very expensive either. {Chromatic Lantern} is going to be a must-have for you.
As for your walkers, you're talking about 100 (about 60 non-land) cards in a singleton format, so...you can fit every planeswalker ever printed and still have room left.

Wow. 40 planeswalkers in the deck imagine that.
I would love to see it happen, especially with {doubling season} in there. But that deck would cost a fortune that is way beyond my budget lol
Oh god, the though just occurred to me... {Creeping Renaissance} naming... planeswalkers.

I'm just going to go proxy up a deck. Don't pay any attention to me at all...
This is seriously one investment i'm willing to make. These planeswalkers are awesome and having like 10+ out at a time seems incredibly good.. The only thing I'm thinking is i'll need a lot of token gen.
Also gorzo what do you think about the lair lands? They go along with the conflux tri lands.
If you want a lot of token gen deffinitly include all 3 garruk's and {Elspeth, Knight-Errant}

I plan on using every planeswalker minus new jace. He just seems like a bummer when your playing jace TMS and baby jace

The mind sculptor, yes. Baby jace no way. Have you seen new jace in action? -2 is nuts card advantage especially in commander since its a somewhat slow format. Rip best card out of opponents library and yours? Winning
I'm drawing a blank on lair lands, link one for me?
I like new Jace, his ultimate in Multiplayer games is nuts, and mini {fact or fiction} is nice too.
I look forward to seeing what you come together with!

{crosis's lair}
And I'm not to sold on new jace right now. I'll see if he'll drop in the next few weeks then maybe I'll get one

I think you mean {Crosis's Catacomb}
{Darigaaz's Caldera}
{Treva's Ruins}
{Rith's Grove}
{Dromar's Cavern}
That's all I can remember. There's one for each of the Invasion legendary Tri color dragons that had when it deals damage pay 3 and chose a color for an effect to happen ( {Darigaaz, the Igniter} {Treva, the Renewer} {Rith, the Awakener}. Etc.)
Yes thanks I couldnt remember their names offhand
They seem good if you have lands with ETB effects to bounce.
{Chromatic Lantern} is a much more efficient color fixer though. Tutor/{Fabricate} for it.

Those lairs and ravnica bounce lands seem good with the vivid set of lands
And spells with proliferate. Duh

I didn't even think about that... Thanks cajun
Haha! I can just imagine! {Contagion engine} "Ok and now all of my pw's ulti!"
That or {Plaguemaw beast} with all that token gen :P
{phyrexian rebirth} with 30+ tokens not including their creatures
While we are proliferating can't we just throw in a {Darksteel Reactor}?
This deck is making my head hurt... Probably just gonna stop and build an isperia deck
{Pentavus} should be in there
Would affect planes walkers? If the legend rule doesn't apply I assume planeswalkers can come out in force haha. Just a thought {Mirror Gallery}

You'd only be able to have a single version of each planeswalker in play at a time but that doesn't really matter as you should be in control with 4 to 5 planeswalkers on the field
I run a Modern Superfriends deck with {Doubling Season}, {Contagion Engine}, {Venser, the Sojourner} (who flickers contagion so I can proliferate 2 more times). Definitely awesome interactions between these.
And pray that nobody casts {ruination} I was playing my 5 colour deck and some noob knowing I was playing 5 colour, slipped it into his deck. I'm still steaming from that one. Such an a-hole move. Everyone in my meta is refusing to trade or even play against him now. Thanks, btw fellas. So I recommend counter spells. lol
I suddenly wish I had a lot of money and friends that played commander...
I really want to see this deck.
Well I dont have funds to do it but if someone else wants to build it be my guest :)

Funds be damned, just design the thing. Your idea.

It costs exactly $0 to build the deck on iMtG and play it on Cockatrice ;)
True... Ah what the hell alright I'll build it
