Seems like the art displayed here is incorrect. His right-hand wingtip would be outside the art frame, no?

One of the best things about this card is how it says "seven permanents"...including planeswalkers. It adds a lot to the flavour and idea that this guy has been the pimp of almost every planeswalker in the game...

Ajani Vs. Bolas tells me that there will be a HUGE drop in the price for this card. EVERY Walker Vs. Walker set has the two walkers in them. So this guy will probably get his value HALVED on sept. 2nd.

Ugh. For collection purposes, Yes, I'd like one, he's cool and all that.. but with that manacost, no thank you, this is one critter I wont'e be playing, ever.

I gave him 4.5/5 because even though he is a game ender when he hits the board he is too difficult to play. You need at least a 3 colored deck to play Nicol Bolas and by the time he gets out most duels are already over.

I've played my grixis deck 6 times so far and got Bolas out 4 times. He won me 3 of those four. Maelstrom Archangel would be great but I traded the angel for bolas.

5/5 for style and awesomeness alone. The extreme cost means you cant get him out until very late and by then your oppoent(s) probably have an answer for him. But if not, they're in real trouble.

I still will never get what all the rage is on bolas, ive played against him many times. My simple solution:
1. Faiths fetters bolas
2. clear out your opponents defenses with your big creatures, you've had time to play them becasue of bolas's high cost
3. kill bolas with your creatures, you shouldnt have taken too much damage from him at this point
4. if you have a planeswalker, play it (if you dont have one skip this step)
5. move on to your opponent for the win
My recomendation is use the divine deck (in duel decks "divine vs. demonic") and add in ajani goldmane and/or elspeth (both planeswalkers) if you have them. You might want to take out one charging paladin and then, if your adding a second card, angelic protector. akroma hurts bad, good for killing bolas. do this and bolas wont provide you with any trouble. the only thing is your way, is getting faith's fetters or the divine deck :P.
