Tracking my Nicol Bolas, The Ravager deck. It used to be DJ's bolas deck tech and changed many times over the years according to my mood.

First I cut the discard theme and made it a stronger planeswalker/theft/bolas theme, then I added some dragony goodstuff, then I re-added the discard theme and slipped a bit towards the usual grixis culprits. Today, I make it a modular deck that can play at tables from 6 to 8 depending on about 10 cuts and cards that can be sided in and out to make it better or worse, depending on your pod.

A delight to play, extremely thematic, and, 6 commander decks later, it is still my favorite.

In a pinch, if you need to raise the powerlevel, remove these, put Kess in the command zone and add the sideboard:

• Nicol Bolas
• Sepulchral Primordial
• Lathliss, Dragon Queen
• Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God
• Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
• Dragon Tempest
• Worn Powerstone
• The Eldest Reborn
• Evolving Wilds
• Dragonlord Kolaghan
• Scourge of Valkas

In a pinch, if you need to lower the powerlevel, remove these and add your pick of the maybeboard

• Underworld Breach
• Dockside Extortionist
• Displacer Kitten
• Expropriate
• Demonic Tutor
• Sidisi, Undead Vizier
• Notion Thief
• Tergrid, God of Fright
• Dauthi Voidwalker
