| {{Quote|<i>While my foes are legion, these 5 are potentially... problematic. A noble predator, he believes himself to be. This [[Garruk Wildspeaker]], brutal, savage, nearly a merciless killer. His impatience is my virtue. [[Jace Beleren]]'s greatest strength is his greatest flaw. The supremely powerful mind incapable of perceiving how he could rule all - a keystone in an unfathomable plan. So utterly filled with power, so wholly lacking in restraint and vision. Seeking freedom, will [[Chandra Nalaar]] rise above personal retribution, or will her fury consume all? A dark power commanding the dead, [[Liliana Vess]] inspires terror. In debt to demons, entranced in a pursuit of unobtainable desire, as ruthless... as myself. Reinforcer of life, light, in strength in our lives... a contemptible blight. Should we cross again, I'll '''snuff''' [[Ajani Goldmane]]'s spark consigning him to an endless night. They are but obstacles, part of a grand design. Fight them endlessly, they'll likely prevail. However, should you prove to be a duelist of measure, having defeated these opponents with skill, consider your fate, for if you dare face me... '''destroying you will be my pleasure.'''</i>|Nicol Bolas in the M13 trailer}}

| '''Weaknesses''': Nicol Bolas is notorious for being '''''extremely''''' arrogant, viewing almost every other being in the multiverse as a mere "ant", never admitting to weaknesses, and thinking highly of himself and lowly of others. It should be pointed out that it is stated that while Bolas may be arrogant, he is not an idiot. Witnessing a lesser being killing one of his kin will terrify him, though he will not admit it. Bolas cannot cast most of his spells if he does not have any plane to anchor onto
