So...did Urza die when he got his eyes removed?
Sorry for my noob questions :/ haven't read nearly enough into Magic's in game history

No, Urza died upon the final activation of the Legacy Weapon.
In his fight with Gerrard, Urza was beheaded and was still alive. Do you think removing his eyes would do anything more? Lol. But that just shows you how powerful oldwalkers were before the Mending. They were basically gods. Nearly all powerful, nearly immortal... Bolas is trying to get back to that...

I just had a crazy fanboy moment. What if when we return to zendikar bolas DOES get back to that and they reprint him with the power of an old walker? What if he like kills the eldrazi and steals their power to make it his own and so he has eldrazi themed abilities? That would be awesome, but of course it's all wishful thinking.

His ultimate as is is pretty Eldrazi-ish

I think his ultimate is pretty toned down... Sure it's good, and it's that powerful, but imagine his ultimate if he hadn't lost all that power from the Mending...

[Destore117]

^ I'd...rather not ._.

(Think of his mana cost if his ultimate was OldWalker.)

It would be nice to see a new Nicol Bolas though, seeing as we've only gotten {Nicol Bolas} and {Nicol Bolas,Planeswalker} plus it'd be really fun to have decks using all 3 Nicol Bolas cuz why not?

There's going to be a new Nicol Bolas. I'm also expecting Ugin sometime soon. Nicol Bolas as is is pretty badass. If he absorbed Eldrazi ect...

{Nicol Bolas, Transcended} {8}{R}{R}{R}{B}{B}{B{U}{U}{U}

+ 5 Gain control of target creature or Planeswalker.

+ 3 Destroy target noncreature nonland permanent.

-10 Target player discards his or her hand and loses life equal to the number of cards discarded this way + 3. You draw cards and gain life equal to the life lost and cards discarded this way.

- 35 gain control of all permanents target player controls. That players life total becomes 5 and can't attack you or Planeswalkers you control.

If {Nicol Bolas, Transcended} would be put into your graveyard, from anywhere, shuffle it into your library instead.

                                                                      18

+5 fits his manipulations of various other Planeswalkers.

+3 is close to the one printed on {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

-10 is close to {Cruel Ultimatium} and {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}'s ultimate.

-35 is pretty much game. In Nicol Bolas fashion.

Maybe if the numbers were lower with the sameish CMC he'd be printable. I doubt it. Maybe +1, 0, -6, -12 starting 8.

Ok total newb here. I've tried looking into how to beef up my magic history and have gotten extremely lost as to where to start and where to go. Can someone suggest a starting point and a where to go after that? I've looked at the wiki and it was quite daunting as to the actual beginning. Much appreciated!
