I want to Conflux for this, Worldfire, Cruel Ultimatum (blue), and Academy Rector, and Progenitus (green).
1. Play Academy Rector.
2. Academy Rector for Omniscience.
3. Spam shit at the board till everyone dies :)
I think it would be fun to try to build a deck whose mana curve STARTS at 6, except for that Academy Rector xD
(How do I play the Conflux fast? :P)
Since I am pretending I am Nicol Bolas, I think this Manabase has no problems with it:
4x Mox Pearl
4x Mox Emerald
5x Mox Ruby
5x Mox Sapphire
6x Mox Jet
That's 24 right? :P I was told your manabase should be 24 cards. I'm new at this game but this looks powerful :)

Even though it's pretty bad this has applications in a slow control deck.
Last night at a M13 two-headed giant tournament I cast this thing on a guy and he dumped Garruk, Primal Hunter, Thragtusk, and a Fog. I thought he was at his Wit's End. We won that game, even though Sands of Delirium came close to milling us out. I love M13!
First appearances can be misleading, and this card was actually fun to cast. Cards that serve me well are always under my radar when building new decks.

I don't know what people are complaining about. "patheitc" is the original Greek.

I can just imagine Jace losing his shit after Bolas finishes speaking. Nicol Bolas, troll level = INFINITE.

This could have just been a crap rare that I didn't have to care about. But then they put awesome art of Nicol Bolas on it, and it annoys me. The art doesn't even fit the card's ability...
This is a terrible card as others have said because by the time you get it out, your opponent probably doesn't have much of a hand anyway, especially if you're already playing discard. Why not go full on suicide black and make a cheap "discard target hand" spell that has some sort of relevant backlash?
It's even worse that they accidentally let a typo get through because now everybody's going to complain about that instead of the actual card. The typo's dumb, but it's not that important. Besides, I don't think Bolas' opponent can spellcheck a vocal monologue.

Against most decks, 7 mana will be too late for this to be significant, but for decks with a lot of draw power this can be devastating.
2/5

It's not just the typo — the card itself is "patheitc" as well.

I'm surprised this is rated so low, especially with the typo.

Nicol Bolas is a dyslexic dragon - guess what? He's still bad mofo!
This card is just pathetic. That they choose to reprint it even more.
