Nicol Bolas Control EDH

Commander / EDH*

It's a control deck that wants to win by either a big Torment of Hailfire or Firemind's Foresight into Reiterate/Reset/Lightning Bolt combo. I'll have a few card searches but I'm not trying to always win by combo. It's only there for when the games stall out or I need an out. Big Hailfire is the main way to go.

After a few games I think this deck has problems playing proactively. Although it is built as control there's only so much it can do, especially if I don't draw into my draw cards. Plus it is very hard for me to pull off a meaningful Torment of Hailfire, meaning my planned "wincon" is a useless card. However if I'm able to land a Planeswalker with mana up, it can get scary. So far I have not been able to play Nicol Bolas himself that easily and to insure he sticks.

Any advice, comments, or thoughts on how to improve this deck would be much appreciated!
