A reimagining of a deck I saw here, called "Nicol Bolas, Lord of Discard", to better fit my playgroup. I liked what it did, and how it did it, but I upgraded some of the card selection, modified it to be slightly more skewed towards a control mindset, tossed in a couple more pieces of removal, and make it a little more cruel, overall. Draw some cards, lose some friends. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, since I'm relatively new to the EDH/cEDH format, coming from Modern/Standard, and don't really know how to build for a multiplayer setting.
