Nicol Bolas the Mindslaver

Commander / EDH

DespairFaction


This is Nicol Bolas the Mindslaver. When designing this deck I decided that I wanted to do the most evil thing I could think of, which is steal other peoples minds aka. turns. So the main focus of this deck is to use Mindslaver, Worst Fears and Emrakul, the Promised End and copy those effects to steal turns and make your opponents Worst Fears come true.

This deck is basically a bunch of haymaking finishers, so it has an extremely high mana curve. This obviously leads to inconsistency in game play, but the game play is also fun because using Worst Fears type of effects is actually incredibly skill intensive, especially in a multiplayer game. There are many decisions about who do you think has the best cards in hand, or who do you kill with your opponents creatures, while making sure you don't die in the process. In the early game the only job is to survive, make all of your land drops, and draw more cards. Then when you put the pieces together, start playing your finishers.

I am sure there are numerous ways to refine this deck and make it more consistent, so feel free to make suggestion.

I recorded some gameplay of this deck in action. Feel free to check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT0Lp1U3K80&lc=z121sbcxgtqie3fx104cjrvz1m31ivzboco
