The Ur-Dragon & Nicol Bolas

This just dawned on me today but with the Ur-Dragon being the progenitor of all dragonkind. Would this make him/her/it more powerful than Nicol Bolas or Ugin?

since apparently the Ur Dragon is the essence of all dragonkind within the whole multiverse (not just one plane), kinda sounds like that's the case. at least Bolas' current power post mending. who knows compared to his pre-mending power.

Very hard. They both have wield the whole colour pie. I would place tentive bets on the Ur-drgon for one reason,he is the god father of all dragons. He is no doubt restaint to the Touch and, I would say, more powerful in straight out combat.

Sulk do you have a link or WotC background to the Ur-Dragon being restraint to the touch?

Post mending I'd say ur dragon because he's the progenitor of dragons, certainly he wields some immense power that bolas simply cannot.
Pre mending walkers were gods though and went above and beyond the means of their normal species, so I might place bets on bolas pre mending.

What exactly is "the Touch"? Never heard of that before.

@Rev it's a guess, as Ur-dragon is the father dragon, he is probably a powerful telepath. You can't give you children something you don't have.

What is the touch?

From Memory, the touch is a ability special to bolas that wipes/blanks out someones mind. I don't remember if he has to physically touch his foe, or a mental link, which I think almost happened to Jace at the end of the Amonket story. Its like bolas' last Ace. Again all from memory, so I could be wrong

Sulk jace says otherwise. Walkers kind of break that rule. It was demonstrated in dtk though that telepathy IS a dragon thing, so I'd assume the ur dragon is too
