About Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh

Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh, Legendary planeswalker — bolas, designed by Raymond Swanland first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation Promos and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

A deck that focuses on controlling the opponent's resources and disrupting their hand would benefit from including Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh, as it offers a versatile set of abilities that can help maintain board control and pressure opponents. While there may be other powerful cards available, Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh's ability to generate card advantage, disrupt the opponent's hand, deal damage, and potentially wipe the board makes it a strong choice for decks looking to dominate the late game. It should see play in decks that can support its mana cost and take advantage of its abilities effectively.
