this card is seriously broken, all Nicol Bolas abilities are awesomely over powered. the plus 3 ability, destoy artifact, land, or enchantment. minus 2 ability, basically a mind control and by far the most useful in edh (mind control their commander). minus 7 ability, discard hand seven points of damage and sacrifice seven permanents. in a grixis control deck he is awesome glad I own a copy.

Remember kids, after your opponent has cast the mighty bolas there is a scoop phase allowed quickly after he hits the field.

Nobody has mentioned the most obvious play with this guy; you get a 3/3 for free after you cast this with beast within and an opponent in commander!

@Reishyn:
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Nicol Bolas. There are 60 wafer-thin cards that fill my deck. If the word 'hate' was printed on each in letters a nanoangstrom tall, that would not be one-billionth of the hate I feel for Nicol Bolas at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.

So… Master Bolas lord of all that is is a great card and all that… I just find his first ability a bit out of color… Black removal is almost entirely about creatures, sure it has some land removal but it's mainly creatures and only a few cards that deal with artifacts and nothing that is mono-black that deal with enchantments. Red has artifact and land removal, burns for creatures and yet again no artifact removal. And Blue… Blue's removal is mainly temporary things like bouncing and the like sure we have Rapid Hybridization now but it's one card among all the others. The "non-creature" permanent wording is something I think is mainly in Green's domain… so why strap it on a Grixis Planeswalker? Something along the lines of "destroy target artifact, creature or land" would have been more appropriate in my opinion.
All in all 4.5/5 due to this little thing.
