nicol bolas cards mtg Commander Deck EDH Deck Bolas, the Ravager 100 Magic – Moonveil Games This is of Mythic Rare rarity Nicol Bolas

Of all the hall of fame of fantasy artists, nobody has latched onto my brain stem the way Larry Elmore has

Skip the $20+ cards (Thrumming Stone, Coat of Arms, Cover of Darkness) and the deck still hums: Commander: Karumonix, the Rat King (~$1) Engines: Pack Rat (~$3.30), Piper of the Swarm (~$3), Ogre Slumlord (~$0.45), a couple of Relentless Rats / Rat Colony (~$56 each cap the copies to stay on budget) Payoffs/utility: Crypt Rats (~$0.50), Nezumi Bone-Reader (~$0.40), Bontu the Glorified (~$3) as a sac outlet, Throne of the God-Pharaoh only if budget allows The rest: cheap black removal, Swamps, and a Sol Ring The whole list comes in well under $50, and it scales up gracefully add Marrow-Gnawer and Thrumming Stone later and the same shell jumps several power levels

Good stuff Sorin
