Landed Nicol Bolas, the Ravager on the M19 pre-release weekend. Had to make a Bolas themed EDH deck as Bolas is one of the namesakes of the format. I was running Keranos, God of Storms for an Izzet Wizard deck which I've striped down to grab all the useful control spells to then add in black for a brutal Grixis hate deck.

Edit: End of 2019 I've always called this my bolas deck, but bolas hardly shows up so I've leaned into the theme to see how playing a planeswalkers matter (and they're all Bolas) deck. Still keeping the counter magic and counter counter magic bs up.

Edit 2021: propoganda goes in
