That shouldn't happen. Basic lands should never appear in booster packs or from the AEther. What plane were you on when this occurred?

I know I don't have any images on my mobile forge (purposefully) but the planeswalker emblem on the generic Forge image is hard to see. Where are these images pulled from? I downloaded the quest images to see if that would fix things, but no dice. I think I saw a few pages back that there were clouds or other things?
The images for each region are pulled directly from card art for lands from the plane. Similarly, the art shown in the Planesalk screen's slide show is pulled from card art for plane cards associated with that plane. If you don't have the art downloaded for the region lands, it should just be displaying a solid color or two-color gradient based on the region's colors. If that's not what's happening, I'll have to fix that.
Also note that Planar Conquest doesn't use any of the downloadable quest resources nor does it have any resources you need to download just for that mode. All images used by Planar Conquest are either automatically installed with the base resource files or extracted from card art.

It's in your starting pool but not automatically added to the deck at the moment. So you could add it manually right after starting the conquest. This was done so that originally you could pick a planeswalker that didn't fit the colors of your starting commander/deck, but I recently changed it so the available planeswalkers are always playable in your starting deck. Given that, I can try to update the deck generation logic to include the Planeswalker rather than forcing you to add it manually.

That might be a bit too strong with multi-color Commanders (especially tri-color ones). Not sure if it's possible, but I'd recommend a 2 mana tax if you want to spend mana of any color.
Sounds like you were playing a "Planeswalker" match, not a Commander match. That's why your PW appears in the command zone and why you can spend any color mana to cast it. I did that so you could use whatever deck you want with your representative PW regardless of color requirements.
That said, the fact that your opponent didn't have his own walker in the command zone suggests an event that's not properly configured. Which event was it?
Thanks for the feedback.
