Another storyline thought:
There's 3 major evils running around in Magic right now: Bolas, Eldrazi, and Phyrexia. What makes Bolas stand out is he is keeping tabs on the other two, which both happen to be world-consuming evils.

Tezzeret is on New Phyrexia to "Prevent leadership from taking hold", While Sarkhan was sent to Zendikar to awaken the Eldrazi, all Bolas's plans.

Could it be that Nicol Bolas, being the manipulator of worlds that he is, is going to use the other superevils to carry out his own schemes? Or maybe he's going to pit them against each other, the Phyrexians vs the Eldrazi, to see which world-destroying evil is the most powerful...And therefore the most fitting for him to direct to his own purposes?

I disagree with ARandomMop. Old artwork was way better. Bolas looked bigger and more mysterious, what you'd expect from a godlike elder dragon. This looks... Meh. Just like some dragon.
Still, I'm glad to see everyone's favourite elder-dragon-planeswalking-evil-mastermind reprinted. It's been already 2 block since we last saw him.

Combos well with dream halls. Plop him down and use his +3 to destroy it. Sure there's a chance that someone will respond with something while dream halls is out but it seems to work more often than not.

Hard as sin to cast but worth it.

Few ways to cheat him.... but what about "hard"casting?
Actually Bolas deck prove a few solutions already.
Obelisk of Grixis help in case of color screw.
Nightscape Familiar gives a nice discount.
And Morgue Toad can be sacced for needed U and R mana.
But what makes it frightening is that Bolas can be playable in Mono B. Just throw some Dark Rituals to the mix.

hm, yea... when I look at that expansion symbol (especially Mythic) all I see now is some sort of Pokemon guy with a smiling turtle face!
