Title: Bolas Control(-ish)
Post by: Silent1236 on July 31, 2012, 02:45:15 PM
This is a deck I decided to build when I pulled {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}.  It fares pretty well.  Not the greatest, but there isn't a whole lot of "money cards" in it.  Nothing really powerful and expensive.  Any help and feedback would be appreciated!

Creatures
4x {Fog Bank}
3x {Massacre Wurm}
1x {Wurmcoil Engine}
1x {Malignus}
1x {Palladium Myr}
2x {Firewing Pheonix}  (actually work pretty well)

Instants/Sorceries
4x {Mana Leak}
2x {Think Twice}
2x {Ponder}
2x {Mental Misstep}
4x {Searing Spear}
1x {Life's Finale}
2x {Go for the Throat}
4x {Doom Blade}
3x {Diabolic Tutor}
2x {Black Sun's Zenith}

Artifacts
4x {Gem of Becoming}
2x {Manalith}

Planeswalkers
2x {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

Lands
9x {Swamp}
5x {Island}
5x {Mountain}

19 lands seems to work due to the {Gem of Becoming}s  I usually end up with 10 lands or so and a few in my hand very quickly.  Oh, and I really could use 1 more {Life's Finale}

Then I would drop the diabolic totors for more draw power.

Lol I only have one of the myrs.  And th tutors are kinda useful if I happen to not draw Bolas.  I may do that though.

That's true.  Ithelps IF I get it out.  So it would prolly be better as a ponder/think twice
