Ok so today I want opinions on my 2 favorite characters in the lore, Niv-Mizzet and Nicol Bolas and how they compare to one another, we're not here to discuss the cards, but the characters themselves and who is mightier.
Niv-Mizzet:
Leader of the Izzet guild, Niv-Mizzet is an ancient dragon of Ravnica, roughly 15,000 years old, Niv-Mizzet is said to be the most intelligent being in the realm of Ravnica and possibly the entire multiverse, Niv-Mizzet is immensely powerful. Powerful enough to live to tell the tale of his fight against the nephilim and capable of seizing control of the city and plane of Ravnica, he is the last true dragon in Ravnica although varieties of dragon-kin, such as drakes, wyverns, and wurms, are present in Ravnica, Niv-Mizzet is said to be the last true dragon. As would be reasonably expected of him due to his vanity, Niv-Mizzet has numerous lesser clones of himself, other than as his underlings, the full purpose of these dragon clones, however, remains unknown. Niv-Mizzet guild not only follows him, but worships him. He could just be the most powerful being in the plane of Ravnica and with his guild and army of clones backing him, he truly is a force to be reckoned with. Ravnican dragons, in truly ancient times, were immense and god-like, warring and devastating to nearly as great an extent as the Elders of Dominaria. One might speculate that do to his age and power, Niv-Mizzet himself is one of these dragons himself.
Nicol Bolas:
The planeswalker Nicol Bolas is the most powerful of the five Elder Dragons to have survived the Dragon War. He is considered one of the most powerful planeswalkers of the Multiverse and possibly the oldest being alive. Bolas's hallmark is his touch, an inborn ability that causes a mind shattering effect with the slightest caress. Bolas is a master of Black, Blue, and Red magic with lifetimes worth of experience and knowledge. In his duel with Teferi in Time Spiral, Bolas proved skilled enough in blue magic to completely nullify the time magic Teferi created. When Leshrac stole his black mana, he took the Elder Dragon's touch as well. This leads some to believe the touch is a phenomena brought about by the massive stores of mana he possesses. I don't think I need to say much on Nicol Bolas, we all know him, we all love him, he is immensely powerful and fearsome.
So who would win this battle? Post your answers and reasons why. Thank you!
