I ran this deck for a little while, but when I went to strip cards out for a newer deck, I realized I had never posted it. It was designed to be fun and casual. Bolas's ability triggers off any damage, not just combat, which prompted me to build a deck around the following formula:
Ping + Trigger = KABOOM!
Basically, it turns nearly any creature into a grenade launcher. I realize that deathtouch is no longer triggered, but it seemed to fit the formula anyway.
The deck ended up with a bit of a dragon sub-theme, which was awesome. It also turned anything deadly. I had acquired a copy of Dismiss into Dream, but I never got around to putting it in.
