I hear so much hype about M13 being the first core set to have multicolored cards, and this guy ends up being the only one. *sigh*

Hands down the M13 reprint about which I'm least excited. Great card, but for some reason it didn't feel like an appropriate reprint, even in spite of all the Alara shout-outs the set boasts. Hard to be critical with so many great reprints in m13 though :P

So now we have precedent for letting multicolor cards in the core sets. GOOD. Time to start sniffing through the Invasion, Ravnica, and Shards of Alara blocks for candidates for uncommon and rare cycles in M14.

This card ALSO means we won't need the kind of reminder text that was on Marsh Goblins, Dark Heart of the Wood (The Dark version only), and Scarwood Goblins.

DarthParallax forgot to give credit to voltaire-"when youre evil" for the song for those that didnt know. This card and Worldfire are what i want from M13. Epic in my triple deck.

Opening Hand
Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
Channel
Kaleidostone
Elvish Spirit Guide

and either a Dark Ritual or another Kaleidostone to generate the final black mana and you can have him out turn 1. I know it's an absurd combination of cards, but it's fun to dream and hypothesize.

Every deck I've made and ran Nicol has won me more than my aggro-blue and UW control.

If your deck is looking to go big, might as well go the biggest and most glorious there is.

I really feel Nicol Bolas is going to make a decent impact this time around (in ravnica standard). He certainly has enough power and there are very reasonable ways such as Gilded Lotus or Liliana 3.0 (hello watery grave/blood crypt) to make sure you have the mana to cast him without dipping in green.

Don't forget to play your Prince of Thralls before busting that -9 for a little added insult.
