Nicol Sounds Like Nico, So I Had To Reference GTA IV.

My first and only red-centered deck that I wanted to build based around Nicol Bolas, and dragons. I have another 2 Bolas deck in the works, one of which is shaping up to be a more competitive cruel control deck, which is a play style I am much more comfortable with. This is my only “red centered” deck so far, so I’m still learning how to use it. No playtesting has been done yet on this one, if you happen to find this deck, feel free to suggest things, but I might take a few days to respond since this is on the backburner for me right now.

The basic idea I had was have Boneyard Scourge continually reanimating, but I decided that constantly murdering my own dragons isn’t going to work so well when I’m trying to also run Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and need protection for him. So, I decided to include dragons like Kokusho, the Evening Star where killing them provides an effect itself, on top of reanimating Scourge. So, if an opponent plays a (non exile) removal spell against Kokusho, sure, it dies, but now you get Scourge back, and life.

My biggest question for now is if I should even bother running Planeswalker Bolas, or if I should just stick with Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  . I’m leaning towards keeping only Ravager, but I have no real way to play test this deck, except against myself. On top of that, I’m currently searching for more fitting spells for this deck. Again, any suggestions will be welcomed at this point, even if I don’t go through with them.
