Zoah: I'm pretty sure that with the Legends art, Beard was indeed trying for "demonic dragon". Kind of goes with the name. Nicol is derived from the German word for "devil", while Bolas is apparently some sort of demonic epithet. Exhibit A: The Goetic demon Glasya-Labolas...or, as his name is occasionally rendered, Glasya La *Bolas*.

Lord Bolas in his early years. And he was still stronger than most beings in the Multiverse.

Simply put one of the most beautiful cards in the entire game. Not only does it have ridiculously amazing artwork, that looks even better in the gold border with the FTV foil, but it is also really good in any timmy style deck. Throw him in Commander, Reanimator, or Cruel Control and you too will see the terrible power of Nicol Bolas. Oh and I nearly forgot to mention, dat flavour text!

Good commander but people have a tendency to rush attacking when you play using this card. They get all "Oh, you're playing Nicol Bolas so I have to wipe you out right away" and I have to tell them that the card costs EIGHT mana. But then I attack with Barbed Shockerfor the lols.

I was gonna buy Thraximundar for a Grixis EDH deck because I like it better as a card but I saw this art and I thought "Of course Nicol Bolas has to be my commander".
Nicol Bolas is the most epic thing ever!

Simply phenomenal in my Scion of the Ur Dragon EDH deck.

When I'm feeling particularly cruel and Bolas-esque, I resist one-hit kills with Dragon Tyrant or Moltensteel Dragon, and I swing with this fellow. Watching opponents squirm and gape in annoyed horror is oh so delightful.

I like how he's chasing a hellkite overlord in the art, what a joker!
