Despite being battle weary from his recent bout against Leshrac and his closing of Dominaria’s final temporal rift, the planeswalker managed to lay waste to the plane’s adult population, subjugating the plane’s gods in the process with the help of the god Bontu who had conspired with Bolas to betray the others. The plane was ruled by eight gods and they took exception to a being as powerful as Bolas invading their realm. His arrival to the plane, however, wasn’t exactly welcomed. Native to the plane is a strange material known as lazotep that has a strong reaction to necromancy. Stick around and I’ll show you how he plans to save himself, only to have himself stripped of most of his power despite his best effortsĪfter departing from Dominaria, Nicol Bolas is drawn to the plane of Amonkhet.

The time rifts above Dominaria have been mended and, sensing the imminent end to the multiverse, Bolas has fled to the plane of Amonkhet to plan his preservation. Welcome back to “Who is” on Magic Untapped as we explore the backstory and evolution of Nicol Bolas.
