The name says it all.

This deck is my baby. I still remember my scream of delight when I first pulled Bolas out of a single M19 booster from Target.

This deck is a lot of things, but it is mainly a Grixis Discard/Wheel deck with a ridiculous amount of utility thrown in for flavor. It absolutely shines in group games and holds his own in 1v1 as well. Bolas himself has small utility when he enters and forces everyone to discard, and then has even more remarkable utility when he transforms into one of the most badass Planeswalkers ever printed.

He also includes some of the most fun ways to win, Including but not limited to;

Exponential Wheeling with Consecrated Sphinx Subtly turn Haunt of Hightower into a one-hit kill monstrosity Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake for infinite mana and flicker, which you can use to; Tutor and play your entire deck with Rune-Scarred Demon Surveil yourself to death and win with Laboratory Maniac Deck yourself, your opponents, or both with Dimir Guildmage And So Much More!!

Honestly, I'm always finding a new way to win, and if you find any, please let me know! Suggestions, Also let me know! I'm always open to editing him, and I do on a regular basis.
