Got a Nicol Bolas in a pack randomly, kinda excited, yet kinda shocked. I have no idea how to make a 3 color deck with a card like this work. I tried building this deck with a friend, and I'm trying to think of ways to tweak this deck so as to:1) not make this an all-or-none deck (either winning by a landslide, or getting completely crushed)2) winning with this deck without playing Bolas.
