The strategy of the deck is to use Diabolic Tutor and pull from tomorrow to draw as foretold in the early game. Then use as foretold to build up time counters on it and play Nicol Bolas, The Deceiver. Meanwhile, I play less costly creatures while as foretold builds up to 8 time counters so I can play Bolas. However if that fails, I use ghirapur orrery to play 2 lands each turn, and use cards like Attune with Aether and Pyramid of the Pantheon to give me land. Since Nicol Bolas, The Deceiver needs red and black mana to be played I have Cultivator's Caravan, Oasis Ritualist, Painted Bluffs, Pyramid of the Pantheon, and Gift of Paradise to give me mana of any color. To draw Bolas I use cards like Diabolic Tutor, Pull from Tomorrow, and Visage of Bolas. Once I have Nicol Bolas, The Deceiver out I consistently use its +3 ability which will get rid of my opponents' control and eventually kill them. I also can use Bolas' -11 ability to deal 7 damage to my opponent.

Any Criticism is welcome, as long as it is constructive. If you like the deck I would greatly appreciate an upvote!
