I was wondering if Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker could be built in a successful Vintage deck or not. I know in vintage how turn 1 and turn 2 kills are very common, but I just wanted to know if it could be done or not.
If so, then I'd really like to build one and need help with what might work best. Anyways, if anyone could at least let me know if Nicol Bolas has potential in a Vintage deck, please do so.
Generally for 4UBBR in Vintage, you should expect to win the game. Nay, the match. Unfortunately, Bolas does very little to affect the game state when most decks combo off of spells, of which NB cannot touch.
Yeah, I see. Thanks for the response and letting me know before I attempted making a competitive version and failing more than likely everytime against other competitive vintage decks lol.
One other question for all vintage players. If you were to consider building a deck around Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker (again if, just a hypothetical question), what type of strategy, maybe even certain cards to use, that would work well with the PW?
Your going to need a way to get him out reasonably quickly so mana accelerators and color fixers are going to help, but he's not a very good win condition in vintage since he does very little - there are few creatures to steal and most people are used to losing a few permanents or being denied mana.

Thank you.
Thanks Darth Monkey
Vintage is NOT like that. Sure some decks can kill you in that time. But if your a good player, you will prevent them from doing that.
As for the Walker, the only vintage deck you could make with him would be a nice vintage legal, casual deck.
