Been wanting to do Nicol Tribal off and on so here's a decklist finally.

Nicky B and Company - Nicol Bolas representations, Insect Gods, and God-Eternals

Depicted - Most flavorful of his associated cards, and most based off of. (Discard, Mind Control, Control, Draw)

Associated - Associated through Bolas' machinations and plots, or worship of his God-Pharaoh persona.

Referenced - Quoted or depicting plans of Bolas

Support - Cards to round out cycles or fill in holes of an archetype where it is needed while trying to stay flavorful.

Resources - Bolas' machinations require preparation of resources, and these mana rocks should suffice.

Lands - Most of these are lands and planes Bolas has been. again, staying on flavor.

It has also been brought to my attention that Planechase/Archenemy is somewhat viable for EDH, so the 10 Archenemy:Bolas Schemes and 10 Planechase planes he's visited could be a possibility.

Alara - Grixis or The Maelstrom

Dominaria - Talon Gates

Kamigawa - Takenuma

Meditation Realm - Pools of Becoming

Phyrexia - The Fourth Sphere

Rabiah - Sea of Sand

Ravnica - Izzet Steam Maze

Ulgrotha - The Dark Barony

Wildfire - Naar Isle

Zendikar - Hedron Fields of Agadeem or Akoum

Archenemy Heroes would use Gatewatch Planes, or "Heroic" at least:

Innistrad - Gavony , Stensia

Ravnica - Selesnya Loft Gardens , Agyrem

Dominaria - Academy at Tolaria West , Krosa

Zendikar - Murasa , Akoum

Other - Bant , Eloren Wilds
