Notes:
 I wanted a deck that could use {nicol bolas}. I think he is pretty awesome. Saw The bolas turbo fog deck and I had to build it. I did make some changes. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks.

Why does everyone skimp on lands? You want probably 24-25 lands here. Yes, it makes a huge difference.

Willthomjr

And you'll want creature removal, which is why most turbo fog runs white. {day of judgement} or {terminus}

Dudecore

{Terminus} x4. You don't have any creatures, it's perfect. More {Elixir of Immortality}.

Thattallguy

Thanks for the ideas so far. I am going to look into trading for a {terminus} or two. I have one all ready. What do you guys think about for a sideboard?  Also I was thinking about putting {jaces erasure} in here. Do you think it is a good fit?

Thattallguy

I am also thinking about Druidic satchel here since there are no creatures it is basically lifgain ramp

Dudecore

You can try {Shattered Angel} (for a few weeks till rotation). It is a creature, but can help you gain life if they choose to play double lands with {Rites of Flourishing}

No. Jace erasure isn't worth the slot

Dudecore

{Jace's Erasure} is one of the worst cards ever. Stick to beating em with olaneswalkers

Deck is updated. What do you guys think? 5 color is kinda too much for me. What if any should I eliminate. Also needs sideboard suggestions. Thanks

I disagree with the land base only because I run a turbo fog and have around 22 lands I think and with rites you will draw and lay out more land. If they don't answere the lotus then you have more than enough to cast your fog and bolas. I may use terminus when the other fogs cycle out but with all the fogs you don't need to destroy there creatures. Bolas is really fun in this deck.

He's running 5 colorsz 22-23 lands and he'll be screwed. You need to hit your land drop every turn.

22 land gives you a low likelyhood that you will see your third land drop that this whole deck rides on. 24 is the minimum for a deck that rides on 3 a mana minimum. Especially without early game ramp options.

#13
Drop Red and {Chandra, the Firebrand} and drop Black and {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}. Focus on drawing and hitting your fog effects. {G}{W} is perfecto.

Edit: if the crux of this deck is build upon getting out {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} them rely on something like {Gilded Lotus} that doesn't ruin your mana base and give you dead draws.
