I have an ongoing Magic : The Gathering feud with @kommienezuspadt.
I see the MTG games as being like wrestling matches, with near falls, finishers, and an occasional "school boy" pin.
In this feud, we are like Hulk Hogan and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
I believe myself to be Piper, because heels are the coolest.
Recently, I have made a Commander deck out of a standard deck that I called The Bane of @kommienezuspadt.
It is pretty much a Nicol Bolas planeswalker deck. The standard version gave me my biggest winning streak against him(or anyone) with over 20 wins in a row. Muahahahaa.
The commander version has had a similar effect.
Admittedly, he beat this deck 3 out of 5 yesterday, so the true reign of terror is over, but for over a week, this was what was happening in our feud...
Long, dominant runs are pretty rare in this feud, so I have to share:)
This deck's main mechanic is to get out Nicol Bolas, the badass dragon god.
In this particular deck, I have 3 of them.
There is a new rule in Magic that allows me to have all 3 different Bolas cards out on the battlefield at the same time! Muahahahahaaa!
When this happens, it is pretty much lights out for everyone else.
I have a supporting cast of other planeswalkers, including Ob Nixilis, Tezzeret, and a cartoonishly huge Teferi.
Ob Nixilis is a card draw, and a creature killer, Tezzeret gives me more mana to cast Bolas, and Teferi's ultimate allows planeswalkers to use their abilities during anyone's turn!
Another method I have of getting these high cost Bolas cards out is Jhiora of the Ghitu.
She can 'suspend' a card for 2 mana, so it will exile for 4 turns and then get cast for free!
Eight mana for Bolas?
No.
2 mana!
Muahahahahaaaa!
Jhoira also helps me cast my 2 friendly Eldrazi Titans.
Ulamog and Kozilek are game changers by themselves, but in this deck they are not even the biggest threat.
To take full advantage of my grixis colors, Thraximundar was added to the crew.
He's a brutal zombie assassin with haste that forces opponents to sacrifice creatures.
Muahahahahahaaaaa!
Finally, to generally screw with @kommienezuspadt's plans I have these two.
Most of the deck he has been using has an even converted mana cost, so the Void Winnower is brutal.
Dark Intimations is straight up good for me and bad for him. I draw cards and return creatures from my graveyard, he sacrifices creatures and discards cards!
Muahahhahahaaaaa!
As I'm sure he will point out, this deck's title reign ended yesterday, but it was a long, glorious reign, and I'm sure it will leave mental and emotional scars for years to come.
Peace to you Steemit, and may you never be tapped out.
Oh how I wish I knew how to play!
If I did I’d be sure to be Ric Flair
Woooooooo!!!! Haha

Nice! Those dragons are sweet.
I got a kick out of remembering all those WWF old school days. I used to watch the heck out of WrestleMania and GLOW.

Hi @tarotbyfergus, I found you via some of your other MtG friends who play together. There doesnt seem to be much MtG content on Steemit as far as articles. I myself buy/sell/speculate more on cards these days than play but Im from the old days when you could buy packs of Legends etc.. , Ill be following your MtG articles from now, thanks.
