I really like Nicol Bolas so I have been playing around with different options. This is the best I have come up with and it went 2-0-2 at the last FNM I went to. I believe I would have won both of the other games if I had a few more turns.

So I added in some Red Sun's Zeniths for some quick burn spells and the rest of the deck is to control until I can get Nicol Bolas out and start destroying as much as possible.

I would love input on how to make this deck run better! Thanks!
