Description
The Nicol Bolas Timeshifted card from Magic: The Gathering's 2006 Time Spiral set stands out as a legendary Elder Dragon with a complex mana requirement of two generic, two blue, two black, and two red mana. This card, numbered 98 in the Timeshifted subset, was illustrated by Edward P. Beard, Jr. And brings a formidable 7/7 body to the table. Its abilities create significant pressure on opponents by forcing them to discard their hands whenever Bolas deals damage, while also requiring a strategic upkeep decision to sacrifice the creature unless a specific mana payment is made. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek this card for its iconic character and the unique design elements of the Timeshifted subset. The Timeshifted cards were originally from older sets, reprinted in a new frame style that appeals to those building a comprehensive Time Spiral collection. The card's identity as a legendary creature makes it a centerpiece for decks focused on high-impact spells and board dominance.
