Hey guys!

This is my Nicol Bolas deck! I tried to make it more control by several counter spells and removal spells. I also run a good amount of planes walkers for the straight up advantage of having them out.

This deck isn't quick competitive yet, but I'm looking to upgrade the land base soon.

Notable Synergies:

Hermetic Study + Nicol Bolas

Nicol Bolas + Viridian Longbow

Burning Anger + Nicol Bolas

Nicol Bolas + Sarkhan the Mad

Nicol Bolas + Waste Not

Cruel Ultimatum + Waste Not

Liliana Vess + Waste Not

I also like to cast Toxic Deluge for 2 and if they let it resolve (which they normally will), i will cast Sudden Spoiling after to wipe someones board.

This deck is far from complete and I'm open to any suggestions!
