As for the "Hollywood star" of the day. Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is a card I want to try out. He is a big dude that costs a lot (4
), but he can walk the walk and talk the talk. Starting out at a solid five is good, but once in play, he essentially is at 8 loyalty. Not only does he get to 8 loyalty first turn played, but can also get rid of pesky equiptments, enchantments, artifact, and even LANDS! Yes LANDS! many people just go "oh. poof land gone. they'll play another next turn." that may be true, but the shards tri color lands and conflux mana fixing lands are very essential in Limited. With the destruction of say, a Savage Lands, you can kill an opponent if all they have out are Mountains and Swamps. The second ability is a killer as well. If you play that for his opening ability, you can take your opponents "Bomb" if they got it out. How devastating would it be if you took their Hellkite Overlord or their Sphinx Sovereign. The use of the last ability, if Nicol Bolasis not removed by then, would devastate your opponent. They can't counter anything you play, they lose 7 blockers, and they lose 7 life. That is not Cruel Ultimatum, but just Cruel. I do not see Nicol Bolas in any deck outside of Limited, Standard, and Elder Dragon Highlander Decks in competetive play. It would take massive mana acceleration to get the mana needed, or they would have to use cards like hideaway lands. This is my opinion. Put what you think and reply. I am not a pro or an expert. I am just a fan of MTG. You may or may not choose to accept what I have written ,but I, like many other fans of Magic, cannot wait for CONFLUX to come out and will be avidly awaiting the previews of Alara Reborn.
