• God-Pharoah's Faithful: Human disciples of Bolas who declare his return, and restore a little bit of life when their owner (Nicol Bolas) casts a blue, black, or red spell. More or less dead weight and fodder.
• Aven Mindcensors: Avens (Bird people) who can literally censor thoughts that could pose a threat to Bolas. They can also fly

Commence the Endgame

Tyrant's Scorn

Countersquall

Cower in Fear

Imp's Mischief

Mana Drain

Soul Manipulation

• Commence the Endgame: A spell that can't be countered, draws you two cards and creates a zombie army equal to the number of cards in your hand. This is likely Bolas inevitably laying waste on Ravnica with his Dreadhorde army.
• Tyrant's Scorn: A spell with two options: Return target creature to its owner's hand, or destroy target creature with mana value 3 or less. This is where Bolas resists and destroys the Blackblade, a weapon literally designed to kill him.
• Countersquall: Counters a spell and makes the controller lose 2 life.
• Cower in Fear: Creatures opponents control get -1/-1 until end of turn. This is a spell that makes opponents weaker and more terrified of Bolas.

• Mana Drain: Counters a spell, absorbs the mana used to cast it for Bolas to use to use as his own
• Soul Manipulation: As the name implies, Bolas can manipulate the souls of others, and can bring others to life or kill them, stating that both life and death are both easily reversible

Standard Tactics:

Weaknesses: Nicol Bolas is an extremely arrogant individual, having a massive god complex and believes to be entitled to having complete and utter dominion over the multiverse, viewing all others as nothing more than mere ants. Though he will not admit it, Bolas is absolutely terrified of the idea of lesser beings being able to kill those comparable to himself.

Trivia

• Nicol Bolas may be based off of Satan himself. Take note that this isn't a panic-written theory, rather it's an interesting piece of trivia that could very well be coincidental.
  • "Nicol" is apparently the Medieval German name for the Devil, along with "Nicol" sounds like "Nick Ol'", which is a reference to "Ol' Nick/Old Nick", an old name for the Devil
  • "Bolas" is a potential reference to a demon from Ars Goetia known as Glasya-Labolas, who is the "President of Hell" who commands thirty-six leigons of demons.
    • Glasya-Labolas also tells all things past and to-come, being similar to Bolas reminiscing over his lost power and his plan to get it back.
    • Glasya-Labolas also gains the minds and love of friends of foes and can cause love among them if desired, which is similar to Bolas's theme of mass manipulation
    • Glasya-Labolas believes that homocide can make a man invisible, which is slightly similar of Bolas's idea that the innocent are weak and will pay for the crimes of the guilty (making them "invisible" to the law)
    • Bolas controlling an army known as the Dreadhorde, along with many other characters (The Gods of Amonkhet, Tezzeret, etc) may be a reference to Glasya-Labolas controlling thirty-six leigons of demons
  • Nicol Bolas's "parent", The Ur-Dragon is similar to that of god: A pridmorial being, and the Ur-Dragon is "the god of dragons"
  • Similary, Nicol Bolas's brother, Ugin, is similar to that of the Devil's brother, Jesus Christ. Both Ugin and Jesus are humble, martyrs, and both came back from the dead
