Nicol Bolas, The Ravager Looks Significantly Different than Current Nicol Bolas, so I'm trying to figure it out. Probably has something to do with The Eldest Reborn
Thats young Nicol Bolas, even before he gain his spark. The Eldest reborn descripts when he got revived during Time Spiral, he was "dead" for sometime when Tetsuo Umezawa defeated him at the high of his power as a planeswalker.
The Ravager IS WAAAYYYYY before before the events of The Eldest reborn, during his younger days pre-spark.
Magic sets aren't always strictly chronological - they mostly follow a linear timeline, but we've had a few sets that go back to explore things that happened in the past in the lore but have never been shown on cardboard. M19 looked at the origins and "youth" of the Elder Dragons, how that shaped Bolas and Ugin as characters, and how Bolas became a planeswalker. The Core Set with the flipwalkers was like this too, looking back at how the Big Five mono-color walkers first sparked and the events leading to their sparking.

Anything is Appreciated.

M19 was a current story of Temur shamans who heard stories from Ugin about how him and Bolas were born.
Also, sometimes magic stories take place in the past. The Urza block took place way before the set that preceded it.
