Or you could make some tokens with MSE, I mean tokens are a lot easier than proxies because if you can feel the difference between a token and a magic card, it does not really matter.
I do that because I want to have tokens with the new look and also for token producers that never got the matching tokens.
Quick tip, use different colored sleeves for tokens!
Ideally I'd love to have all foil ZEN lands... but haven't found people willing to trade many and haven't found anywhere selling them on the cheap. Currently I run a bunch of random stuff. There's 80-100 Beta, mostly swamps and islands, ~20 foil Unhinged, ~20 foil Zendikar, and other random signed foil lands.
I haven't made pimping the lands a very high priority yet. I'd love to... but considering I'm still missing foils for ~20 cards, I can't go about pursuing land before them. I do try to pick up foil Unhinged or Zendikar lands to close trade gaps though... so someday I'll get there. Ideally I'd need 70 of each basic (for 16 people) and the cost seems overwhelming. I'll keep getting there slowly but surely.
I like to use foil basic lands, preferably the pre-modern (before mirrodin) ones. I just think they look better. I just ordered twenty random foil swamps to help out my collection. I have over fifty foil islands. I really like to play blue. The foil Urza's Saga lands are nice. Full art zendikar lands are good too.
I piled all of my basics together and picked my 35 favorite distinct arts, allotting slots for all the Unhinged and Zendikar lands of each basic land type. I have to say, my favorite basic land from any set are the Lorwyn ones. So well-drawn an easy on the eyes, though they're not as epic as, say, Zendikar ones.
I currently use Unhinged basics (40 of each) for my cube. I have around 30 of them foil (more Plains and Islands than the others). I've thought about switching to the Avon ZEN basics due to being easier to find foils of them, at least for me, than finding foil Unhinged.
As for my tokens, I have them put into sleeves of whatever color the token is. I use the UltraPro Magic-Back sleeves on the regular cards, so it's easy to find if a token has been shuffled into a deck.
I use basic lands of the first 8 classic black-bordered blocks that have 4 card arts for the land types (foil if available).. so 32 lands of each type.
I also have one each of betas and ice age basics, but the numbers didn't work out. That would have been an extra 6 lands per basic land type.
I've collected new border foils but got bored of them pretty quickly. Just prefer classic borders, especially since I know there's only a limited amount of them. I've also considered foil Zendikar and Unhinged full-art lands, but I haven't (and now couldn't) amass enough of them.
Once I am done completely proxying my cube (100 cards left). I'll be moving on to the basics. You should check out the basics made by some of the contributors in the make a proxy thread, especially the diptychs.
I just use Zen basics, because they're really pretty and I had a bunch of them. I wish I could afford foil Zen lands, and someday might be able to, but for now its nonfoil for me.
I'm gonna cross-post this here, because it's relevant to this thread. I just updated a "Basic Land Information" section for my cube, and this is what I'm using for a basic land suite:
I have 30 basic lands of each type sleeved up and ready for use each draft.
I use one of every single promo land available (21 lands), all the full-art land available (6 lands) and fill in the rest with my favorite non-promo basic lands of all time (3 lands).

Also, Mirage plains.
What is the difference between Arena and regular MM?
