Maybeboard


This is a heavily themed Bolas style control deck focused on the glory and flavor of the God-Pharaoh himself, Nicol Bolas. I first conceptualized this deck back in 2008 with the original Nicol Bolas as the commander and it has undergone many changes as newer sets have been released.

WIN CON 1: The goal of this deck is simple, play Omniscience and maintain control of the board with your sweepers, planeswalkers and enchantments. You will want to utilize your planeswalkers like Tezzeret the Seeker and Liliana Vess to tutor for cards needed at any given time so you can continue to maintain control of the game. Normally a winning board state would be Omniscience + Necropotence + Venser's Journal. Once you have Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth online, you can float tons of mana, cast Treachery, untap Cabal Coffers, then proceed to Torment of Hailfire for 30-40+ triggers.

WIN CON 2:

Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top

Once again - The deck is designed to be extremely flavorful, therefore with a playgroups permission, I keep a side deck/wish board of cards which are listed in the maybe board and I main deck Mastermind's Acquisition to have access to it. This is usually acceptable to most playgroups and fits the "Bolas always has a plan" theme of the deck.

WAR of the Spark Update: - Added Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God - Added Liliana, Dreadhorde General - Added Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge - Added The Elderspell - Added God-Eternal Kefnet - Added Bolas's Citadel - Added Deliver Unto Evil - Added Commence the Endgame
