Still a rough draft, this is to be a Nicol Bolas themed deck. I want to focus more on flavor than competitiveness, at least for now. I'm only using cards I physically have, so I'll update it with new cards as I acquire them. What if Nicol Bolas had a Planar Bridge? So The deck uses some gearhulks and other artifacts, some gods, and eternals as well as other undead.

Cards like Bontu the Glorified help me to get cards like Proven Combatant into the graveyards so I can bring them back stronger. Cards like Foundry Inspector help me get out the handful of artifacts I have supporting the deck, like Planar Bridge. Diabolic Tutor helps me get Planar Bridge out. Tears of Valakut is there for general use against flying but specifically in case I have any trouble with Commander Eesha, which sees heavy use in my circle of friends.
