For those of you who play EDH, here's a quick history lesson. EDH stands for Elder Dragon Highlander. The Elder Dragon part was named after the five legend dragons that appeared in the set Ledgends. The most famous of the five is yours truly, Nicol Bolas. The Highlander part refers to the famous line of the movie Highlander, "There can only be one!" Meaning there can only be one copy of every card in an EDH deck, lead by a legendary creature!

I don't know how I feel about the new art. It looks like any other enraged dragon to me. It seems more like a pawn of bolas then the elder dragon himself. This card shows more of a non-thinking beast than the intelligent, scheming, archenemy of the multiverse.

That said, the old art looked nothing like a dragon...so I can't say it's better.

sonorhC: I suppose those might be fair complaints, if this were printed in a regular set today.

Please go look up Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker or read any of the MTG novels featuring this guy.

.....

done? THAT'S why. This particular card, like so many old cards, is actually not stupendously impressive anymore. But that's not the point. The point is, IT'S NICOL BOLAS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DONE?! WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF DOING?! This is how powerful he was BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. He shortly became a Planeswalker, and his Planeswalker card is what's LEFT OF HIM after nearly all the powers of the Spark are nerfed by the Mending.

Nicol Bolas, Yawgmoth, Urza and Emrakul the Aeons Torn are hands down the Top 4 Most Powerful Beings in Magic. Nicol Bolas is older than at least two of them.

His head is WAAAY too small for his body in this art. Sorry, but that's just how I see it and it's always bugged me!
