Cycle Chronicles by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Nicol Bolas

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grixis Legends attrition deck built around the original Nicol Bolas. Primary plan: stabilize with bouncing, pinging, and walls; accelerate via Sol Ring, Signet, and Urza lands; then resolve the 8-mana Elder Dragon and win by nine flying commander-damage hits, three per opponent. Secondary lines include The Wretched combat theft, Land's Edge land-discard reach, and grind from Yawgmoth Demon and Fallen Angel. The commander is a finisher, not an engine. Visage of Bolas searches for 'Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver', which is not in the list, so it only supplies mana. There is no hidden double-faced commander and no infinite combo.
