I've been focusing on creature-based decks for awhile and I have a substantial collection of planeswalkers built up, so I want to assemble a Superfriends deck so that they can actually see some play. I'm leaning towards going with a Bant build featuring Angus Mackenzie because a lot of good walker support lies in those colors, but I figured I would ask for advice here as well. I'd like to stick to three colors as I do not have the budget to go for the 5-color round at this time. Anybody have any suggestions on how to go about this?
I know she tends to draw a lot of hate, but I have a Narset Superfriends deck. Her attack trigger can plop a lot of friends into play for free. There are plenty of red 'walkers that play nice with Narset like Ral Zarek and Dack Fayden. Oh, and Daretti. He is pretty darn good for his +2. A little equipment support lets Narset hit harder and gives Nahiri some nice targets too.
Biggest problem is convincing people you aren't doing super degenerate things that people tend to do with Narset like infinite turns or attack steps. Don't get me wrong, dropping a Venser, Tamiyo and Ajani Steadfast after combat feels great but expect some stern looks from your opponents.

I don't particularly like any of the bant generals for Superfriends, other than Angus. I don't think he's very good in multiplayer, but I don't think any of the others are better.
Planeswalker tend to scale down in multiplayer games. If you plan on playing 1v1, I think it's a powerful strategy. If you want to play multiplayer, you need to play things that stop people from attacking you. Note that Propaganda and friends doesn't work if they are attacking your planeswalkers.
Not sure about helping you on the build a but a few cards you may wish t o include are Clever impersonator and Copy Enchantment You can copy things such as Doubling season or Sphere of safety if you really need the protection (Copying sphere of safety once makes them have to pay a minimum of 4 mana. I actually pulled this off by copying sphere with both. Along with having doubling season out and having stolen another persons doubling season (Perplexing Chimera) with a couple other enchantments
So they had to pay 24 mana/creature to attack me. Only one person (the mono green deck) could pull it off. Everyone else was searching for answers.
[EDH] It's built to be a casual format and to a specific vision, and if you don't like the vision, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not going to change to accommodate everyone. Big tent is not a goal.

Illusionist's Gambit is a good one-shot effect. Isperia, Supreme Judge can dissuade people from attacking you and your gang. Mystic Barrier can help you focus on one player at a time.
I don't like Norn's Annex. It is good against tokens, but nothing else. Sphere of Safety is better, but if you play it you should also play things like Collective Restraint, Porphyry Nodes, Doubling Season, Inexorable Tide... Planar Collapse
I like Palisade Giant, Silent Arbiter and Crawlspace to contain decks. Ensnaring Bridge is typically very good. Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, Hornet Nest, Magus of the Moat and Moat, and Peacekeeper are considerations.
Lavinia of the Tenth and Stonehorn Dignitary work very well with Venser, the Sojourner.
Extra turns are amazing in superfriends. Cards like Eternal Witness and Archeomancer work well with them and with Venser.

the point is those two cards are useful.
