Where it came from
Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker was first introduced as a card in the Conflux set of 2009, but the version from Magic 2013 represents one of the most iconic reprints of this formidable Elder Dragon. Designed to embody the immense, terrifying power of the game's primary antagonist, the card was crafted to allow players to command the influence of a Multiverse-spanning titan, featuring abilities that mirror his destructive and manipulative nature.
The artwork for this iteration was rendered by the artist D. Alexander Gregory. His portrayal captures the sinister elegance of Bolas, emphasizing his imposing stature and iconic horns. Upon release, the card was received as a centerpiece for control-oriented strategies, celebrated by players for its high mana cost balanced by a game-ending suite of loyalty abilities that solidified its status as one of the most feared designs in the history of Magic: The Gathering.
