This is my take on a deck that Bolas would bring to the table, using various cards that relate to his lore, include him in art/description, or tap into elements like politicking and manipulation

the maybe list includes various cards that im either looking to fit into the deck, or might make for nice alternatives that keep to the idea and principles of bolas, though perhaps not as flavorful as other options in the deck. Additionally there are some notable cards missing from the deck such as mana crypt that could be included in. My reason for leaving them out is that at the end of the day, i play decks like this with friends. Its a deck and a game for fun but some cards just make ridiculous amounts of value.
