All Suggestions Welcome! - Acquire Board copied below, please see before suggesting. Thanks!

Goal is to bring out Progenitus (or as my friends like to call him, "Prevent-itus") early via ramp/untap/double mana. The early game (first 3-4 turns) usually consists of ramping and fixing mana and then the deck can really take off. I have gotten Progenitus on the board as early as turn 5 which is usually game over for someone.

The biggest problems I have faced with this deck are heavy counterspell or sacrifice decks, since getting Progenitus countered or having to sac him as soon as he is in play quickly leads to an uplayable 14+ mana commander. The other problem is I really need to add more card advantage, as I tend to run out of cards if the deck is doing really well plus things like Consecrated Sphinx and Sylvan Library don't stay on the board for long.

Overall, it's been a long but fun process of learning from my mistakes and acquiring solid cards for this deck. I really love the challenge of sitting down for a commander game with a 5-color/10-mana-commander deck versus the usual mono or dual-color decks with much cheaper commanders. The deck can win without even casting Progenitus, but as I said, that is the overall goal of the deck and simply having such a powerhouse of a commander can draw some early aggro, but I don't blame my opponents.

Thanks for viewing! All feedback is welcome!All hail Progenitus! Except that atrocious FTV art, that Progenitus sucks.

Still trying to get a few choice cards, like an Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Child of Alara, Noble Hierarch and maybe Woodfall Primus. Happy with the deck so far, performs consistently well and doesn't usually get mana flooded or screwed.
