Nicol Bolas, the Ravager

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

4cmc 4/4 flying elder dragon that transforms into a planeswalker at end of turn. Front side discard effect (implied by oracle text context as Ravager); back side provides card advantage and removal. Signature in grixis control/midrange shells. Vulnerable to removal before transform; pip-heavy (BRU) mana requirement.

• EDHREC rank: #5,080
