B1	Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh
B2	Nicol Bolas, the Ravager
B3	Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God

He has high health and average deck limits. He has a fair mana bonus to Black, and middling bonus to Blue and Red, with no plusses or minuses to the rest.

His face side has a mix of powerful abilities, including drawing cards with mana, discarding opponent's cards and raising their cost, and direct damage.

In his transformed state, he can also return a creature with its reinforcements to play from the graveyard, and create a support Token  which stops the opponent from drawing cards.

His Bolas' Spark support is below, categorized as Resilient, but to be precise, it is Invulnerable even to destruction spells and abilities.

Nicol Bolas, the Ravager, sometimes called B2 or NB2, is the second of three playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Nicol Bolas at different points in his life.
