Is it wrong for me to want Bolus to be the good guy hear, I mean it is his plain and we don't know if he has done anything besides killing Ajoni's brother that would really portray him as evil.
You mean besides literally millenia of evil, mind rape, and conquest? The fact that he was the mastermind behind the release of the Eldrazi, or that he actively tried to destroy Alara so he could absorb the power to become a virtual god again (and partially succeeding)? Or how about wiping out the entire Tokugawa bloodline. Murdering his siblings, and attempting to murder Ugin, the only other dragon to even come close to his level of power? Bolas is the poster boy for evil overlord. He is not nice.

I'm just saying what if the Gate-watch end up destroying the entire plain either by purpose or accident would that make them heroes?

In his defense, Nicol Bolas is the rightful ruler of the multiverse.

Plus what if Bolus saved Tamiyo so she could send Sarken back in time and fix his error of killing Ugin. Did you ever think that might be why Sarken was so drawn to save Ugin.
What? Since when did Tamiyo even meet Bolas or Sarkhan?
Sarkhan the Mad was the result of Bolus perswading Sarkhan to help him. You see Bolus in the tormenting voice with Sarkhan on the art. They the hole time portal could just be a macguffin or the intricate play to fix a mistake made by Bolus.
Plus we don't know how Tamiyo got out of her time bubble of eternal fire, so one possible answer is Bolus gave her a favor in return for setting up a time portal. This way he could lead Sarkhan to save Ugin but at the same time not interfere with the battle and make it so that when time reset Sarkhin would still exist to keep events inline.
This would be an extremely complicated plain that only someone of Ugins level would be capable of. Then again the time rift could have just been a macguffin the hole time and I could have read into it to much. I'm waiting for Amonkhet to fined out what Bolus's big plain has been all along and how it all ties together. I have no proof for Tamiyo ever meting Bolus.

Well, yeah, if they blew up the plane, that would be bad. But if anyone blew up a plane, that would be bad. If I went out right now and clubbed a baby seal to death, that would also be bad. But I haven't killed any seals, just as the Gatewatch hasn't destroyed any planes. In fact, they have neither the motives nor the means to do so.
You can't judge people based on "what ifs". Because everyone has the capacity to do incredibly evil things. Or incredibly good things. Just because your next-door neighbor has the capacity to burn down your house, doesn't mean you're justified in treating him or her as though they already have. You can only judge people on what they've actually done. And Bolas has consistently done horrible things to others for his own personal gain. The Gatewatch is more of a mixed bag, but they mostly try to help others.

Just so you know, the fevered, insane visions you have during your drug trips are not, in fact, cannon to Magic lore.
PS: Jesus Christ, your spelling and grammar are awful. Reading your posts is like trying to decipher a coded message.
Before you jump on blackcat1300 for their English, you might want to make sure you spell "canon" correctly. English may not be blackcat1300's first language; I've seen plenty of people on the net who are learning and haven't grasped all the nuance. It would be more admirable to help them improve than to tear into them. That said, blackcat1300, I would recommend you work on grammar and spelling.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Do you guys expect Bolas (in any way) is affected by what happened in Tarkir block?
I am mostly reffering to the Ugin story-line.
Any changes to the timeline only affect Tarkir - up to the point when DTK joins the modern timeline, so the life of Bolas is unaffected by the time travel in any direct manner. Since then Ugin has left the plane and I don't recall what Sarkhan and Narset would be doing by the end of the story, so Bolas might have become aware of the loss of a pawn and the return of an enemy thought to have been defeated.
The Gatewatch has interfered more directly with the affairs of Nicol Bolas recently so there is a lot of room to assume he is not at all aware or focussed on anything relating to the events and consequences of Tarkir block.
The most direct interaction is Ugin appearing on Zendikar around the time the Eldrazi were defeated - the Eldrazi having been released as part of an unexplained plot by Bolas.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
Nicol Bolas, an ancient elder dragon from the era of the great dragon war. Evil.
Planes, entire worlds, unaware of the existence of other worlds as part of the multiverse.
Plains, a vast field, mostly associated with white mana on this game.
Ajani Goldmane, a leonin warrior whose brother died and who is a planeswalker.
I think He might have meant Narset. That doesn't change the fact that the statement made NO sense.
