I love Nicol Bolas and the Archenemy format, however I personally found the most recent decks to be quite under powered and under themed. So, as a pretty big casual player I decided it was in need of some upgrades. I do understand that this deck is quite strong with schemes; that being said, this deck is designed to play against the whole gatewatch (5 players). I will be making two extra planeswalker themed decks for Jace and Liliana, along with posting updated deck-lists for the Chandra, Gideon and Nissa decks.

Additionally, I understand that playing the same archenemy over and over can become a little boring. I am also in the process of making a Tezzeret Archenemy themed deck and an Ob Nixilis Archenemy themed deck which can be brought in as supplemental villain decks for the Gatewatch to battle.

Currently I have one of every single scheme (including the 2010 Archenemy) in a "super scheme" deck that we play with. I have toyed around with the idea of breaking them down into specific 20 card scheme decks for each of the extra villains I mentioned. Please share your thoughts and opinions!

Additional Rule: The Archenemy has to read the flavor text of the cards and schemes as they are casting them :)

UPDATE: I am including the links to my updated Gatewatch Decks here.

Jace of the Gatewatch

Liliana of the Gatewatch

Chandra of the Gatewatch

Nissa of the Gatewatch

Gideon of the Gatewatch
