eeriekiller Hellkite Tyrant was mainly just meant as an answer to artifact decks, but I may switch it out for Utvara Hellkite in the forseeable future. Unfortunately Sword of Feast and Famine is around $16, but Hellkite Charger might work out in the deck by itself.

Understood. You might not want to get SoFaF soon, but if you ever get the chance, it's definitely worth it :)

If you want, I have a deck that really is just a compilation of every dragon worth playing. It's linked here if you want to look at it

eeriekiller noted and bookmarked, thanks :)

Also, since Bolas is all about mind games and what not, do some fun politics. One of my favorite political cards is Akroan Horse. If you all want to gang up on someone it's always a blast.

Hey mate. I just dropped by to let you know that you inspired me to make a Bolas build of my own. The deck is here: BOLAS RUNS FOR OFFICE

Rakdos Signet > Rakdos Cluestone, ditto for the other one. I don't know how well your land base works, but if you really suffer issues with your land base, a Terrain Generator will work well enough with the amount of basic lands you have. I'd obviously recommend a Sol Ring for early boosts.

Quicksilver Wow, had no idea I wasn't running Sol Ring, replaced the cluestones w/ the signet's too. Thanks!

With Bolas as your general, do you still have to sac him at the beginning of upkeep? this seems a bit weird at turns one and two since you won't be able to have enough mana out to pay his cost. This is probably a stupid question since I'm new to commander, but I'm still curious.

I think I see what you're thinking. You don't start the game with your commander in play

November 30, 2015 11:35 p.m.

Pseudalopex_Culpaeus Your commander doesn't start in play :P

Ohhhhh. That makes sense. Thanks guys lol.

Interesting deck. Nicol Bolas is my favorite character in all of Magic so immediately I get excited. I plan on making a Nicol Bolas deck soon but I will spare no expenses.

I'm actually making two, an all White Border theme deck with the original Bolas and then the best possible Bolas deck there can be with the FtV Bolas.

I'll look this deck over when I have some more free time.

I have my White Border posted if you wanted to check that out. I'm still updating it and changing it.

Any help you can think of would be great.

100% White Border Bolas

Why Dragonlord Kolaghan? It's ability is useless and there are better creatures for six mana.

evncrbch Haste enabler, and fits the theme. If you have any suggestions I'm willing to hear them

If you are looking for 6-mana dragons, better options include Scourge of the Throne, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius, Hoard-Smelter Dragon, Keiga, the Tide Star, and Kokusho, the Evening Star.

I was looking for ideas for a commander deck and I love your deck. The dragon theme is awesome. I will probably end up building something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!

Ghomrag Thanks for the compliment! Be sure to send me your decklist if you ever put it on tappedout!

Hey Jaxtol so heres my decklist Bolas's Contol. I am trying to start with this pretty budget build and make it better over time.

Get ready to update this deck A LOT in the next few months. It's looking like bolas will be integral in the stories of the next three sets. See Dark Intimations and the fact that he is confirmed in HoD and Amonkhet.

Hi would this deck work if I replace Nicol Bolas with the latest updated card Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  Flip as my commander

July 5, 2018 10:27 a.m.

Shad0ra1d3r. Functions just as well, if not better.
