Budget Nicol Bolas - EDH / Commander - EVIL GENIUS 

Top 5 pay a little more: Insurrection "Untap all creatures and gain control of them until end of turn." Blatant Thievery "For each opponent, gain control of target permanent that player controls." Rite of Replication "Create a token that's a copy of target creature. If Rite of Replication was kicked, create five of those tokens instead." Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind "tap draw a card" & Finally I can't believe this is still under the radar Prince of Thralls "Whenever a permanent an opponent controls is put into a graveyard, put that card onto the battlefield under your control unless that opponent pays 3 life."

This one definitely looks good. I'll keep some of the bones as I'm making a Nico Bolas and Ugin the spirit dragon deck

Top quality content without a doubt. You guys have become my favorite magic channel in literally 1 day. I've watched nearly all the edh decks and was wondering if you could do a Demon tribal edh deck. That would be absolutely devastating if you guys found a way but of course there's no rush, I'm aware there have been many requests. Thanks for the exceptional work you all do

I know this is few years later, but thank you for making this. I will be working on making this deck. 😁

Thanks for sharing. I like that the mana costs vary in the deck. Cards that fit regardless of mana cost. The deck speaks to players that may not have the cards or budget for quicker expensive decks. I find alot of commander deck channels and sites are repetitive in the sense of the same cards going into some commander decks. I like seeing a fresher take on some commanders. I think you guys did that. You guys gave me some ideas for my nicol bolas deck. Thanks.

glad to see the new deck. looks sweet. can't wait to see you guys building more x3 :) great deck as always

I got a Nicol Bolas at the prerelease and really wanted to make a deck like this great video great timing

This was so flavorful! And timely. Well done.

I just wanted to pop in and say I've watched every budget build video. What you guys do is an amazing service to us budget players, who still wanna have boss decks. Keep up the great work. I haven't decided on which deck I plan on building yet...as I'm very picky about my decks resonating with who I am..but I'm excited for more vids in the future. Thanks again for all that y'all do. Keep being awesome.

I absolutely love the deck, having flavor in a commander deck is so good it s like telling a story while playing the deck. I d love to build this deck but add a few non budget cards. Great work guys! i m a fan

Omg yes, I've been waiting!

Nice deck tech.

Hard day at work is worth it when I come home and see a new BMTG commander, Thanks Groot and Dave

I love it. I have so many of these cards in my Bolas deck already

This is the first video of yours I have watched but it will not be the last! Great deck btw I will be buying/building this. Also I don't know what you have in the works but some suggestions would be werewolves, and Minotaur tribal decks. Keep up the awesome work guys!

have never thought to show how your edh decks play? It would be awesome!

YOU GUYS DID IT!!! YOU ACTUALLY MADE IT, THANK YOU!!

great deck tech...... this decks gives me the shivers 😉😉😉. are you guys planning to do a deck tech for any commanders from hour of devastation?

Holy shit, this is gonna be fun as fuck to play in multiplayer. You guys are my favorite magic channel :)

Thanks for another great video, guys. I know she is usually used in expensive goodstuff decks, but any chance we could see a Damia deck in the future? Keep up the great work!

great deck

Also a really cool area you guys could explore would be hoard decks for co-op play

Love this! Will be great to use some of these cards when Grixis Pirates becomes doable. :)

Can you guys please do "The Locust God" like peeps so they can do it.

great video

MY BALD GUY! LMFAO! That was classic! #TheBaldGuyFanClub

At the risk of starting a gender debate on a 25000 year old elder dragon, AFAIK, Nicol Bolas is most defintiely a "He", not an "It", and has been referenced as such throughout Magic's storylines, including that of Hour of Devastation. (The narrator seems to switch between the two at some point, which sounds very strange..) Other than that, That's a spicy damn deck tech. definitely using this as a base for my Supervillain Bolas Commander deck.

So I made this deck list and with the release of HoD the decklist has changed and become even more flavorful. I was wondering if you guys would do an updated list? Note I added all 3 bolas planeswalkers to mine.

Guys, are you now collaborating with @Gameplays by CloneHead ??? That is another of my favourite channels. Keep up with the good job guys.

Hey! Great deck and love these budget options you always offer. One can have fun playing Magic wighout spending a lot of money! Could you do a Sygg, River Cutthroat deck? He is one of my favourite legendaries.

I would love to add Sensei's Divining Top and Vedalken Orrery, maybe cyclonic Rift and or Vandalblast. Well definitely would love to add the 1st 2 but your deck looks good and I'm not sure where to fit them. Also I love your NB Planeswalker idea.

Nice video guys! Could you do a Karametra deck tech?

good video as usual prosh next

Dark Announcement doesn't return to your hand

Dark Intimations does not return to your hand if you play a Bolas Planeswalker. It's just exiled from the Graveyard as a "cost" for that increase in Loyalty.

You guys might have wanted to include cards like “quicksilver dagger,” I’m sorry if you did because I didn’t watch some of this video. With this card, you can have them always have one or less cards in there hand. There are 14 other cards like this.

I'm pretty sure not all these cards are < $1 Ok I've just checked and I'm very sorry, but I was wrong. You guys are very devoted.

With Gonti, Lord of Luxury you can't cast lands just letting you know.

Nicol Bolas? More like: Nicol BONELESS I'll let myself out now...

Also an angel deck with avacyn angel of hope would be cool. Or hydras

I think the Legend Rule will take effect when you cast Evil Twin choosing the enemys commander, causing both to die. So you can only kill him once.

Opened my eyes to grixis.... massive, haha

Could you do a sphinx tribal commander? Wedge over at the Manasource did one, but I would like to see your take on it.

please Queen Marvhesa (long may she reign)!

Gotta love that bald guy

Hi guys ! Perhaps this suggestion has already been made, but anyway, here it is : maybe, instead of imposing yourselves to put in your decks cards strictly under a dollar in price, you could replace this condition with something like "max 60 dollars per deck not including the commander" ? This would allow you to include great cards like Sol Ring, Command Tower, Propaganda and so on, which don't cost a lot, but bring some more power/synergy to your decks. Anyway, i wish all of you all the best, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos :) Hartelijk bedankt voor alles :)

Could you please make a commander deck for kaseto orochi archmage? It's my favorite commander I've seen but I can't find a budget way to make it?

Can you switch nicol bolas for nicol bolas dragon god or another nicol bolas planeswalker

Next prosh skyraider of kher

will this get an update since most cards are above 1 dolar?

This deck is great and all, and I really want to play Nicol Bolas.But I cant find him for anything less than 80 dollars.

well I did not know that about control magic.

Can you guys do a horde of notions budget mtg deck

How do we spell bald guy's name? I feel bad calling him that, I know how it's pronounced but not spelled lol.

So to do an update and upgrades on this deck for me. Right now it's my favorite EDH deck, but it needs a lot of upgrades and lacks a clear win con. First off my thoughts. This deck thrives in card advantage and card draw. It needs both reliquary tower and thought vessel. With that said it likes game of 1v1 or pods of 4-5. Anymore than 5 and you don't have enough resources to answer everyone's cards. Pods of 3 I find myself focusing on one person and not getting enough value out of cards like syphon mind or board wipes. There is A LOT of sorcery speed cards and this being a control deck mostly needs instant speed reactions, sub in leyline of anticipation. With the instant speed stuff take out single target removal spells (tragic slip) and insert more counter spells to protect your board. You're not worried about a big creature or two hitting board because of your clones/steal spells, you actually want them to, and if it gets out of hand board wipe. So insert more board wipes/counterspells (swan song, counterspell, dispel, negate, swerve/redirect, counterflux is the best counterspell in the deck save it for your win con or to stop someone else's) in place of single removal spells. I would include hour of devastation for flavor, upgrade to cyclonic rift, and whatever else you really like/have. Land drops are hugely important in this deck bc it's mana hungry so include ancient excavation for cycling and card selection late game and thaumatic compass for finding your lands. On the point of lands this is where biggest upgrade lays; include the check lands, zendikar have lands, HoD cycle dual lands, reveal lands, and if you have the budget which I don't shock lands. It's really important early game to have color access and not ETB tapped to play control spells and your ramp cards. You want seven mana turn 4. Like I said earlier the main theme of this deck is card advantage and forcing your opponents to discard is huge. With them discarding you get access to their creatures and spells so rakdos charm is kinda irrelevant. If you are concerned with gy hate sub in bojuka bog and save the spell slot for something else. Upgrade diabolic tutor to demonic or proxy it if you don't have the budget and your play group let's you. For tutors also include muddle the mixture (can find your win cons like cyclonic rift and torment of hailfire) or save it as a counterspell. Praetors grasp is also a win con if you know your playgroup has something like ulamog or blightsteel. It's easily the best tutor in this deck and no one ever sees it coming the first game you play. Include the planeswalkers nicol Bolas and the god pharoah variations (both win cons) don't bother with the deceiver he's too expensive and not enough bang for buck. I personally include assault suit in my deck for a really fun interaction with Bolas the creature. Cyclonic rift bouncing everyone's board then playing Bolas and equipping him and having everyone attack each other with him to rid everyone's hand in one turn. Oh yeah include consuming aberration as a win con after you've forced everyone to discard. Take out cruel ultimatum for torment of hailfire. Does similar thing but it hits everyone and becomes a win con late game.

TENSILE lasers .

Do a deck for any of the Amonkhet legends!

We have BLUE FEILD 8 ,7 GREEN, 5 GOLD, 2 RED I believe

I'm Blackmoultrie or Ultimate Thor nicknames

isn't there a rule that says that we can only generate Mana in our commander's identity? And that any Mana generated in other colors become immediately colorless? Genuinely asking

I just tried this deck in 3 1v1 games ahainst the same opponent and it seems slow and expensive. In 1 game by turn 5 he had 10 lands that each tapped for 2 and an extensive field. I had a Signet, 5 lands, and 1 creature, with a hand full of cards that I could only cast 1 per turn. If I cast a creature I would not be able to counter. There should be some way to achieve some feeling of acomplishment after a game without spending $1,000. At this point I have no care to win a game but just to feel like I did more than just take 1 creature or destroyed 1 or hit once for 5. I have a Sliver deck that I had spent $100+ easy for that recently won by taking a Voltron deck's commander that had just killed a player then I finished the table with it. That used Amoebid Changeling and Sliver Hivelord. Maybe I am missing something in your deck. Think I need to better learn strategy or something idk.

Dragon tempest

I have played this deck 12 times now and it is the slowest least efective deck I have played recently. I find it ironic that the cost is slightly more than the mrsp for an edh precon as it plays similar to one before it gets the necessary upgrades.

"Bolas Planeswalker is not budget". Well, atleast for flavour, why not use the planeswalker deck bolas?

bald guy!!!
