One of my opponents in a draft got this out against me when I was completely mana flooded and powerless to stop it. His ultimate went off in 3 turns and I was staggered.

IMO the BEST planeswalker. He axes other Planeswalkers immediately (bye bye big Jace) and his ultimatum sets your opponent so far back that by the time they recover you got him ready to do it again (assuming you pumped him past 9). Far better than Jace in so many ways

@Axelle- he's got the same loyalty as Vess, for the same reason- you can buy his loyalty. he's not just a mindless savage evil that tries to destroy everybody. He's much more devious than that. He's the ultimate Chessmaster- he's everybody's ally, and he cackles with glee as his pawns kill each other off on his orders, for his personal amusement. There's not much left interesting for him to do, being All Powerful. Further more, Loyalty is a combination of alignment and toughness- 5 is the minimum I would accept. He shrugs off Bolts, and even a Lava Axe isn't particularly disturbing if you remembered to Strip Mine them when he comes out.
Compare this guy's mana-cost to power ratio with Progenitus' or Emrakul's. Emrakul may actually be stronger than Bolas, but only at TWICE the mana! Progenitus dies very badly to both. Nothing has 'protection from sacrifice'!

I just got him in a pack the other day and I use him, but only because I can. I don't think anyone can deny the fact that this card has to be one of the most powerful plainswalkers, but there are certain rules everyone must know before even thinking of putting one of them in their deck. In my opinion, one major factor you have to remeber is "Don't rely on the plainswalker only to win your duels". If you focus on that only, the chances of winning may be much slimmer. You always have to have a back up strategy just incase you don't happen to draw the card throughout the duel. Onc you do, and you have a killer strategy, chances are you'll probably win. Trust me I have Nicol Bolas and if I draw him and play him I 98% of the time win the duel. This statement is from my own personal experiences. !!! :) !!!

Very powerful, very expensive, very easy to kill with cards like Vampire Hexmage.

A very cool card to brag around. But i think not for playing too, a card for collectors, TRUE collectors.
And also it is a small chance that you will find that mana cost.
