IWhen you cast this, you just want to yell, "I AM BOLAS! COWER BEFORE ME!"
Seriously, he's the most lethal and most expensive planeswalker ever. He kills stuff, ssteasls creatures, and then uses Cruel Ultimatum on an opponent.

Okay. I will now teach you how to have a thing of beauty. Nicol bolas, elder dragon, wielding nicol bolas, planeswalker. Get them both on the battlefield, and hold off on winning for a few turns. Play mycosynth lattice, then play bludgeon brawl. Equip nicol bolas, planeswalker to nicol bolas, then attack for (presumably) lethal damage. If that wasn't lethal, pop of the planeswalkers ult. Laugh maniacally.

I was gonna rate him 4/5 cause anything that costs 8 mana, four of which are specific, should own the game anyway, but then I gave it 4.5 cause it's fuckin Nicol Bolas

This guy can guarantee you a three-card advantage when he hits the field, even if your opponent has Planeswalker removal handy.
If they don't, they lose in three turns. Pretty straightforward.

When the second ability is played, the player should say, "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
Please tell me someone else here plays Mass Effect 2
Awesome card. 5/5
@ArKive: Celestial Purge will do the trick for 2 mana (I've used it on friend's Sarkhans and Ajani Vengeants before :P)

All Planeswalkers shall kneel before the omnipotent Lord Bolas.
If you would so foolishly choose not to, then your very existence is hereby forfeit, as Lord Bolas has no need for those who would defy his insurmountable might.
So make like Sarkhan the Mad and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. Join the legions of Lord Bolas.

This is the reason every player using black should consider Vampire Hexmage in their decks.

I may be setting myself up for a facepalm here. Not sure if this means anything, but Nicol Bolas is the only Planeswalker not referred to by his first name in the card type.
You have "Planeswalker - Nissa/Ajani/Jace/Chandra/etc." but in this case it's Planeswalker - Bolas.
Maybe Nicol is too epic to refer to merely by first name.
EDIT: Just read a bit of Wiki on Nic here. Turns out he is so epic, he survives (wins?) a duel against his OWN mirror image? Beat that Chuck Norris... planeswalking > karate
