As Bolas's discard ability triggers regardless of how damage is dealt, so if you can find any means by which to have him deal points of damage to players you can easily send discards around the table. The trick will be being able to do this. As your general will likely be part of your win con (or an alternate one) it may be wise to keep the relative CMC of the rest of the deck pretty low.
However there isn't necessarily a right or wrong way to build a deck like this. If you want to go combo you will want plenty of tutors for your pieces. You can throw in things like extra turns, board wipes, card draw, hand discard, nicol bolas planeswalker is always good fun, everyone loves themselves a cruel ultimatum, crosis charm is pretty good, slave of bolas is neat.
I mean it really depends if you're looking to go aggro, aggro / control with CIP creatures, straight control with fewer creatures and more of a direct damage approach, or mass control - stealing things - with combo. Which would you enjoy the most?!
