Nicol Bolas is a lame storyline character, okay, so your going to use the alara nexus to restore your power, well mission accomplished, so What do you plan to do with that power? Get more power! ... and what about that power?? >_> ... GET MORE POWER! so anyway yea he's not very good in a draft anyway
you're*
And judging by your knowledge you know NOTHING of Nicol Bolas.

Bolas is gonna use what he learned from the Phyrexians to turn Ravnica into his new domain. Therefor, Bolas is gonna wreck Ravnica, just like the Phyrexians.
Good job Wizards, lets go back and wreck our favorite planes because we can. We skipped Kamigawa because we hated it.

That would be the lamest storytelling yet. How come your own predictions got you upset at wizard's? Why speculate on a card in a core set in relation to block canon, and in the wrong forum at that?
My common sense is tingling.

If anything, Bolas is going to do two things on Ravnica. Touch Niv Mizzet, and regain control of the Infinate Consortium.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bolas kill all the other elder dragons? Is Niv an elder dragon? It's possible that Bolas and Niv have a history that will be explored in RTR. Would be neat. But I think Bolas is a lot older than Niv?
Bolas: "Niv Mizzet... *heavy breathing* ...I am your father."
In all seriousness though, if they wanted to go as far as to give these characters some depth (!!!) then i would be all for digging into their pasts and seeing what makes them really tick. It would he SO RAD. So rad that i have my doubts wizards will ascend to that kind of story telling awesomeness.

Niv Mizzet: "Likewise."
Bolas: "Wait what?"
Niv Mizzet is not an elder dragon... and Bolas is much, much older than he is.

Lol, criticizing Wizards for something they haven't done, but you thought up. Typical Magic fan...

I love that this guy said wizards is killing our favorite planes. First Mirrodin then Ravnica....WHY IS MIRRODIN one of your favorites!? How long have you been playing Magic!?

sigged.
As someone who recently(NPH-INN) came in to magic, my first impressions on Bolas were pretty positive- he's splashy, insane and everything he does makes your opponent like you less.
having played a little more, I can understand how he might not be an 'excellent' card, but I think he's a fun card that makes stories and such. I'm ultimately happy to have a chance to open him in a booster-even if it's in a draft where he's unplayable.
I have neither the skill to correctly and accurately analyze this set in the context of current and future formats after 12 hours of exposure, nor the hubris to delude myself into believing that I do.

That's not something he "thought up", that's something he expects Wizards to do and he doesn't like it. And knowing how Wizards do things those days it looks like a realistic scenario.

No need to get stingy here, I'm just saying, if my prediction is somehow correct, and Ravnica gets totaled by Bolas, I'm gonna be a sad camper because Ravnica was dear to me, and definitely many others, since it pulled MTG out of a stale cycle. Am I not allowed to have an imagination, Mr. Imagination Police? And what's wrong with predicting the storyline? Am I not even allowed to be disappointed in my own predictions? Sheesh!

What wasn't to love about Mirrodin? Affinity was way fun back in the day, and even after they banned Arcbound Ravager and company, I still had a kick with my friends back in the day at the playground. Why do you think cards from Mirrodin hold somewhat decent value? Their playability, utility, and design are just fun, and are applicable to nearly every non-standard format.

Um... what? You made a baseless prediction, werent happy with what you predicted... and then bashed wizards for it... and now choose to defend it for some reason. You dont know what theyre going to do with the set, so you have no reason to be mad at them for something they havent done, that you thought up.
Wotc you suck youre going to make rtr the pony expansion! See i can do it too.

Refrain from ever talking about him ever again.
Nicol Bolas discovers or knows about the planeswalker gathering on Ravnica hosted by Niv.
He trys to kill his rivals off all at the same time while strong Niv dies while trying to buy time for jace and friends to escape from Bolas.
In the next set Jace regroups
In the final set of RTR Jace and friend manage to attack and kill Bolas allowing them to focus on the Eldrazi treat

Sounds like an giant battle if they ever meet each other, especially as the bad guys might just cash in each other aswell.
