[Standard] Nicol Bolas' Rise To Power

[dadbeaver]

How can I play test it? I don't have the new Hour of Devastation cards

[Soren841]

Test ur hand and use the add a card button to playtest in ur mind? It's what I do, u can also use backwards cards in sleeves or something to stand for cards u don't have

[dadbeaver]

I can't use Ulvenwald Captive because it goes out of standard in September... and I want to be able to play the deck longer than that D:

[Soren841]

And definitely Bounty of the Luxa

[Soren841]

Sets up ur card draw too

[dadbeaver]

Yeah I thought Bounty of the Luxa was better too. Didn't even think of the add a card button... thanks for pointing that out to me.


I'll go play test it then I will get back to you guys.

[Soren841]

Anytime

So it seems that I have too many high costing cards and not enough land. I am going to get rid of a dark intimations and a torment of scarabs and add a swamp and a painted bluffs

[Soren841]

U can only have 4 painted bluffs it isn't basic land..

Oml who keeps downvoting my posts for no reason

[dadbeaver]

Dammit you're right, I'm too tired DX. Ugh, Add a forest then.. Also I'm not drawing creatures, so I'm getting rid of one visage of bolas and one diabolic tutor and adding 2 creatures. Instead of having 7 sure ways to get bolas I now have 5, which I think is plenty

Deck: Nicol Bolas' Rise To Power
How about this

[dadbeaver]

I like that, I'll switch out Sunken Hollow for Fetid Pools because it is about to go out of standard. My only concern is the amount of creatures, do you think that is enough?

[Soren841]

I just don't know if they're the RIGHT creatures, I'll throw out some ideas

[dadbeaver]

ok
