I think they got the flavor right for this card. I really want to play this beast in my next draft.

Well I believe from a flavor perspective the planeswalkers are summoned to help you out and when they have no loyalty they just leave. So vampire hexmage is doing something to make Bolas want to leave. So maybe she smells really bad, makes an irritating sound or something I don't know.

This is an excellent, underrated card for Spikes. It's also obviously good for Timmies and Vorthoses. Sorry Johnny.
Any control deck that runs Grixis colors should run at least one copy of this guy. He's an excellent finisher, especially against the midrange decks that are dominating the meta. If you drop this guy, you will win unless your opponent manages to find an answer very quickly.
The mana is actually a little bit better than Cruel Ultimatum in a lot of decks, so I don't know why people complain about that so much. You're certainly getting enough bang for your buck.

this is one crazy card... would be a headache for my blue deck that relies on enchantments.. then again by the time this bomb drops on me i probably still have at least one counterspell in my hand by then.

I have rarely come across a deck that used him in the area I play FNM at, but from what I have seen he isn't that great. Sure he can come out and destroy something or take a creature from someone. All you need to do is use either Celestial Purge, Scourglass or a few other cards and he is gone. When I went up against someone that used him he didnt make it to my turn and I always got back what he took or destroyed.

No doubt that Nicol Bolas is a very powerful card but it is little bit expensive to summon. Nicol Bolas is suitable for the decks which has land and artifact destroyer cards in it. You must slow downs your opponent in order to summon Nicol Bolas. Your target lands must be Islands (for counter spells) and Mountains (for direct damages to Nicol Bolas). And better you have some mid and low power creatures to defend yourself.

I like this, but it's kinda casual. Still it is something to end games with. And i think he's the only planeswalker to live after firing his ultimate ability since his fake vindicate is a +3

While powerful if you can pay the very high casting cost... you aren't going to, save in limited (and you won't get him in limited because he's a mythic rare). Lamely, rather than having his original casting cost, he has a slightly lower one which still doesn't make him playable. The only real use of him is to cheat him into play, but there are very, very few ways of doing so, and most of them cost nearly as much as he does.
He will win you the game if you ever get him into play, though.
