Going for a more or less thematic push at Nicol Bolas. Not going whole-hog, as there are some thematic inclusions that just don't make the cut in terms of commander impact or playability, and I'm just not gonna put in every card with his flavor text, but this is my initial take on it.

Well a year or so later, I've decided to move more in the direction of Nicol Bolas Tribal. Still have some things cut for pure playablity (Imp's Mischief, much as I love it, is not super great in commander), and working on things like my rocks and overall curve as it's going to skew pretty high curve-wise. Considering Vault/Dynamo and might cut that Fires of Invention as well.
