Vorthos, Tribal Nicol Bolas by rezendezzz
Format: Commander
Commander: Vorthos, Steward of Myth
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
Vorthos, Steward of Myth is a five-color Bolas-tribal deck. The commander names Bolas, turning nearly every Bolas spell into a bargain: Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God becomes free, God-Pharaoh costs {4}, and Bolas's Citadel costs {3}. The hidden commander is Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God: the primary plan is to land Vorthos early, deploy discounted Bolas planeswalkers for card advantage and removal, then win with Dragon-God's -8 once a +2/+3 loyalty battery (God-Pharaoh or Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker) accelerates it. Secondary paths use Jodah, Fist of Suns, and Leyline of Mutation to cast WUBRG bombs like Conflux and Apex of Power, with Torment of Hailfire as a mana-sink finish. Nicol Bolas, the Ravager // Arisen is a supporting front-face beater; the back face is not the build-around.
