Elder dragon and tyrant of worlds, Nicol Bolas is one of the oldest known beings in the Multiverse. Mana hungry and wielding a triple threat of blue, black, and red spells, hes a force of villainous destruction, crushing all magic (and minds) that stand in his way.

His malevolence is matched only by his boundless intellect. Compassion and respect for life don't enter into his plans. He will go to any lengths to regain the godlike powers that were once his.

Nicol Bolas knows all about being an archenemy; having set his unswerving sights on nothing less than control over the entire multiverse. Wherever and whenever he planeswalks, countless surrender their will, their lives, and sometimes their wills again.

I made this deck to be full of flavor. But don't get me wrong; while it has a lot of deliciously flavorful cards in it, you'd be wise not to underestimate it. The deck is centered around cruel and powerful cards backed up by terrifying scheme cards.

The archenemy deck is of my own design; The scheme cards I selected are ones that I felt portrayed Nicol Bolas the best. You have: board-sweeping effects, reset buttons, card drawing, creature stealing, and reanimation. All of which are fair game for Bolas.

I wanted to show a little love to the Archenemy play-style since it seems people have forgotten that it even exists anymore. I personally love it :) it kind of reminds me of fighting a final boss in a game or a D&D campaign. I hope I did the sinister Bolas justice in this deck that's designed to make his opponents squirm and fear him. I hope you guys enjoy it. +1 if you like Nicol Bolas as the Archenemy! :3
