Old School Nicol Bolas

On 26 April 2019

Here’s some sort of deckbuilding challenge : a Nicol Bolas EDH deck, but with only old frame cards (nothing after 7th edition). A control deck of sort, killing with mister Bolas himself with the help of some old dragons.

Full decklist on Archidekt : https://archidekt.com/decks/67471#Nicol_Bolas_Old_School

Global price : 100-150€ on www.cardmarket.com
Power : 4/10 (1 being draftshaft, 4 a common Commander precon, 10 a very consistant competitive edh deck)
Fun to play with / against : 8/10 (it’s always fun when old weird cards take some light !)

I mainly play at home with friends and in a league near Paris in the local game store La Geek Factory. Our group has some rules: no infinite combo, no extra turn, no more than 3 activation of the same activated ability during a whole table turn. And the games are over after 90 minutes.

My decks follow those rules. And as I have a lot of deck built, or in various building stages, some may not have all the really powered cards (my budget is not infinite, as are our combos !), and as I prefer to use a lot of various cards in various decks to enjoy them all.

If I was a guild in Ravnica : Simic
On Tarkir : Temur

I enjoy decks of all style, but I am prone to play with a commander on the bottom of EDH.rec Top Commanders page more often than not.

At the table I like to be very political, and I really enjoy a game when everybody enjoys it.
