{B} Ghoulcaller Gisa (Legendary)
Unlimited number of dudes.  Ok.

Sac a 2/2 Zombie get 2 in its place. I like...

Also my friends and I so came up with Planesmando before Wizards!

Gisa is actually kinda the zombie EDH commander that we always needed...

agreed. tribal zombies definitely got a huge boost. they also wanna run things like {umbral mantle} to untap her to keep making zombies. kinda wanna build a fake one online just for fun.

[The1337Magician]

Oh! Do you think Ob Nixilis could be the Black one?

She works good with  {Gravespawn Sovereign}

She is also the "Cycle of monocolored legendary creatures that are characters from Magic's past that never got a card." She was referenced on plenty of cards in Innistrad (along with her brother Geralf) but never show.

I am excited about the possibilities. I wonder if blue will have Pemmin from {Pemmin's Aura} and {Stifle}

See I always thought she was {Wakedancer}. It's ability fits her new interpretation. But this is both semantics and off topic.

Carry on.

So who do you think the other four Legendaries will be? Also they seem to print three legendaries per Commander deck so what do you think the third "cycle" will be?

I'm going for Pemmin in blue. The 3rd legendary will probably be one that already exists: like the last commander product. But there are also Xantcha, Jodah, Gix, Belbe, Tawnos and Ashnod (among others) who are referenced but not given cards.

Leshrac might be the black planeswalker. I believe she's been featured in the comics before, she's a banshee so it could play into the Zombie/Undead theme.

Ob Nixis could be the white planeswalker.  He was a good planeswalker before he lost his spark and became {Ob Nixis the fallen} correct?

I could be wrong about him ever being a good planeswalker but I do know he was a planeswalker that lost his spark.

[Dudecore]

Leshrak is a he

Perfect. So they'll have some gender equality if my prediction is correct

[The1337Magician]

Well assuming that Jaya Ballard is the {R} one (which is a good guess):
Both {Jaya Ballard, Task Mage} and {Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir} were printed in Time Spiral are  {Mangara of Corondor}, {Lim-Dûl the Necromancer}, and {Thelon of Havenwood} planeswalkers? Also just off of the top of my head is {Phage the Untouchable}?

I get confused, but I think {Jeska, Warrior Adept} is a planeswalker, but not while she was {Phage the Untouchable}. I might be wrong, but I think when {Karona, False God} split, Akroma and Zagorka died and Jeska got her spark.

Lim-Dûl worked for Leshrac, and was not a planeswalker to my knowledge.

If they don't use Pemmin (because he's not a real character) they can do Jodah. He was instrumental in early Magic, and is only enshrined on 1 card: {Jodah's Avenger}

Urza might be another choice for red or black

Urza might be another choice for red or black

No. Urza is all five colours and super powerful.
