Nicol Bolas is a jerk. Killing Ugin and stuff...

Aside from that, it looks pretty solid. Maybe Thoughtseize might be good as a one or two of since it hits more? Nice build.

I don't want to seem desperate but PLEASE COMMENT ON MY DECK.

A nice removal package..I think it looks a bit slow, maybe you need more T1 action, and 2-3 more Thoughtseize coulod help here.I don't get why Bolas is here.. He'll stick in your hand for ages.

Thanks for commenting zertsdfg. I might be open to running more Thoughtseize. The deck does a lot of damage to itself as is, thus the need for Batterskull and Vampire Nighthawk, but with Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time out of the picture, I don't have any reason not to run more handrips. Not sure what to take out, though. I do actually have to run at least one copy of Nicol Bolas, as that's the point of the deck, but other than that, I try to run my deck pretty tight. I think I'll drop a Ral Zarek and a Dreadbore for two more copies of Thoughtseize, and see how that works out.

i really do like it. I love anything with nicol bolas but maybe something for more draw. If you dont get jace its hard to keep getting material

drstevenstrange I appreciate the suggestion, but I have a full playset of Serum Visions, as well as three Electrolyze, besides the singleton Jace Beleren, and the two Phyrexian Arena. Are you certain I need more draw? That's ten cards with "Draw a card" printed on it. What would you suggest? An older decklist of mine ran Consult the Necrosages for draw, with the added bonus of a discard mode, but I couldn't afford the sorcery speed. Do you think I should add a singleton Jace's Ingenuity?

im not really sure i just was play testing it and i felt like i ran out of stuff but thats perhaps cuz i was just going against nothing.

+1 just for the GTA IV reference

Solid build; I like the fact that someone is actually playing Master of Cruelties!

On the other hand, I feel like you lose a lot of the "control" element by having no counter spells. I feel like 3-4 Remands help a lot in the early game, drawing you cards and stalling the board, and then a couple Cryptic Commands, Counterflux, or even Mana Leak would compliment that.

I personally dislike Dreadbore, because it's sorcery speed, but if it helps against a PW-heavy meta, then that's fine. Also, Vampire Nighthawk seems a bit out of place in a contol shell.

Anyhow, hope I could help out! And if you got time, check out my own deck, Keranos' Cruelty.

You should use Dismember for those indestructible creatures. Also you should consider Damnation or the cheaper alternative Mutilate. For mutilate to work Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Those are both really good suggestions, UlrikLordOfFire. What would you suggest I take out?

Id take out one of each fetch land for urborg. The rest of the cards I mentioned are more sideboard material.

Also you might want to look at Cryptic Command

WHO DARES CALL Cruel Ultimatum RUBBISH?!?!?
