Item Description

Before he was a planeswalker, a God-Pharaoh or a Dragon-God, Nicol Bolas was a 7/7 Elder Dragon from 1994's Legends. The five Elder Dragons of that set later gave Commander its original name, Elder Dragon Highlander, so this card sits right at the root of the format's history.

It still plays like a final boss. Bolas costs eight mana across blue, black and red and flies, and whenever he deals damage to an opponent, that player discards their entire hand. One hit can strip away every answer a player was saving. The catch is an old-school upkeep cost: at the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice him unless you pay one blue, one black and one red mana. Grixis Commander decks with plenty of mana, reanimation fans and dragon tribal builds all have a reason to make room for the original.

This is the Secret Lair Drop printing, collector number 1069, a stained-glass showcase treatment illustrated by Benjamin Ee, in foil. The showcase frame turns the elder dragon into a cathedral window, a dramatic way to display one of Magic's most famous villains.
