Just a Nicol Bolas themed Commander deck. Honestly want to test it out and see how well it functions. If you have any suggestions please say so!

The goal is to basically play a mid-range/control style. Clearing the board by destruction or bounce, discarding cards from the opponents hand when possible, countering their tempo plays and grinding them all down at once.
