I was flipping through my cards, found one of my Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker cards, and decided he'd gone long enough without a deck I could play him in.

This deck, Like Bolas, is not nice. Creature kill is abundant, and there's a large suite of disruption spells. It's all stall tactics - the point of this deck is to power out, and win with, the Big Bad Dragon himself. I've even taken cards out of this deck that were good, but were another route to victory - I only want to win this with Bolas (or Cruel Ultimatum).

The Proliferate effects in here help abuse Bolas even more, and work wonders with Vivid lands and Pentad Prism. Three copies of Mystic Retrieval and a plethora of card draw effects mean this deck's answers are many and varied - don't be afraid to dig for your answers, even pitching important cards to Desolate Lighthouse if you need to, because you can get them back later.
