About Bolas's Citadel

Bolas's Citadel, Legendary artifact, designed by Jonas De Ro first released in May, 2019 in the set War of the Spark Promos and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Casual. It's a key card in 13 combos.

A deck that benefits from Bolas's Citadel would be a deck with a focus on high-cost spells and a way to gain life to offset the life payment for casting spells. Decks that can generate a lot of mana quickly or have ways to gain life easily would make good use of this card. While Bolas's Citadel is a powerful card, there are better alternatives like Aetherflux Reservoir for life gain and card advantage, or Future Sight for card advantage without the life payment, making it a situational choice in certain deck archetypes.
