Top 10 Best Planeswalkers in MTG – 8. Nicol Bolas, the Ravager

Planeswalkers don’t get a lot of love in EDH. They’re so much worse in a format where there are three hostile combat steps between activations rather than one, as it’s so much easier to get them off the table. Nonetheless, Nicol Bolas, the Ravager has flourished as one of the most popular Grixis commanders. Despite not being a planeswalker at first, the instant three-for-zero his 4/4 side offers can be absolutely brutal, and then as the game goes longer, Grixis mages can rely on his planeswalker side for card advantage, removal, reanimation and an extremely sweet “draw your last pathetic card” ultimate, just to really rub it in.
