I like this Bolas more than the other one, even if it looks like a worse version of the original Planeswalker card. I'll buy the Planeswalker deck for this and the other Bolas cards it will have.
I thought the +3 was a +1 at first and I was ready to say this is terrible. +3 is a lot better, though.
I really just wish that his +3 read "unless an opponent sacrifices a non-land permanent AND discards a card".
Edit: Also I think the +3 could have lost each opponent 4 life instead of 3. I know that's a fifth of their life total but this is an 8cmc Walker. Looks kind of fun though.

Oh hey, a planeswalker deck featuring Nicol Bolas, called it. Now the question remains is if its the only planeswalker deck or if there is a second and if that other deck is Samut.
I would definitely jam this in the archenemy deck with his other two versions. Kinda like an RPG boss with multiple forms. Also sorta makes it a 3 vs 3 instead of a 3 vs 1. Now I just gotta pull the HOUR Bolas.

Are you suggesting that Bolas share the spotlight with a feeble human?
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.
I predict 5 or 6 starting loyalty. They won't want a 'walker for the intro deck that can ult after just 1 turn, so it's going to take at least 2 activations of the +3 to get there.
If they're feeling generous, it will start at 6. At 6, he takes two turns to charge up his ult, then lives afterwards, or can use his -3 twice.
If they play it safe, he'll start at 5. At 5 it still takes two turns to charge up the ult, but he won't live unless you do another, and he can only use his -3 once before needing a recharge.
I have the feeling that they'll put it at 5 because of Dark Intimations, which combos with him to turn the starts-at-5 version into the much better starts-at-6 version. It's the same thing with his God-Pharaoh version, one Dark Intimations shaves a turn off of his charge-up time to ult.
EDITED:
