Ok, since I derped and posted this in the wrong section, I'll ask it now!
Ok, so I would really like to make a modern or legacy deck built around Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. I have a standard deck around him, but, standard kinda sucks :P What are some staple cards in a deck? I know there is one of the Ultimatums from Alara, but I can't think of which one. I just need to know some good cards from older sets to put in. Any help would be appreciated.
{Cruel Ultimatum}
That is probably to slow for legacy. Modern might be possible though.
{show and tell} + {omniscience} = T2 {Nicol bolas Planeswalker}
Given you play an {island} and then {city of traitors} or {ancient tomb}

Why T2? Couldn't you do all that T1?

How Would u get 2 lands in play turn 1?
This is Legacy, folks. You can get 3 mana on t1.
{Island}, {Mox Sapphire}, {Sol Ring}
{Crystal Vein}, {Mox Diamond}
or good ol {Black Lotus}.

Ehhhhhh, {Black Lotus} and Moxen are banned. Try {Lotus Petal} and {City of Traitors}.
LOL Oops! I keep thinking Vintage. :o
Yea you could T1 with {lotus petal} but I would not run the petals......they would hurt you by taking up a slot. The only time they will help is with a king fu grip first hand.....and that is a long shot.
This type of deck runs lots of counterspells to stall until you set up the combo. Alternate win con of {blazing shoal}+{progentius} to pump an {inkmoth nexus} or {blighted agent}.
Lol maybe I shouldn't have listened to Hays and posted this in modern instead. Moneys a bit tight, so things like show and tell just ain't gonna happen :P.

Damn, they're up over $50 now. We might see a potential banning here. Altough then everyone will start playing Reanimator :(
They won't ban it. Not everyone is the world is playing it, and {Force of Will} is still legal, first turn wins don't happen anymore.
Sneak ({Sneak Attack}) n' Show ({Show and Tell}) is just the new reanimator. It just adds to the meta, it's not overwhelmingly overpowered.
