Please Balance Bolas properly before release. We don't need another post-release Nerf thread. Thanks

Hopefully, this time before Bolas is released to the playing public next week, please properly play-test and balance him.

We do not need another post-release nerf thread like those for Kiora/Koth/Baral/Onmiscience/Riskhar Expertise/etc

Thank you. I look forward to playing with a new tri-color PW in mtgpq soon.

    D3go will be selling Bolas for cash next week. Any changes after release is going to be problematic and accusations of bait-and-switch will be probably be thrown around (again). Again, please play-test and properly balance Bolas before release.

    Obvious cash grab since so many of us have quit spending and/or playing whatsoever.

    He might have already been in the works before Hibernum folded. Besides, they need to grab some cash to keep operating.

    As long as I can get him 3 weeks later with my hoard of crystals, I say let the whales whale.

    Is it me or does Bolas with his described abilities just sound like Lili 4.0. 3 colors is good but all of the abilities are black please fix it .

    Everything is a cash grab. It's almost like they like money and buying food.

    @Gideon I’m still tripping on why Zombies and not Dragons.

    His paper abilities are all about discard, exile, stealing cards, and direct damage.

    This game is overdosing on zombies.

    I don't understand why the developers move away from his inherent "Nicol" abilities. Bolas has nothing to do whatsever with Zombies. Just look at all his paper variants. They will laugh at his digital incarnation who plays with mere Zombies instead of instantly *destroying* his victims.

    I never thought a tricolor PW would be released due to all the cards available for that PW. I'm very anxious to see what builds we will see. The meta will never be the same again...

    Because all the Lilianas aren't obsolete enough yet?

    Speaking of Bolas, do we have any idea yet how many Mana crystals it will cost when it becomes available ? I bet on 950.

    I reckon that's optimistic.... Kiora was 950 when she turned up.

    Have you considered getting a job at Electronic Arts?

    Well it's a good drink, I wish I could summon a zombie whenever I wanted one.

    I could use a Zombie Dust about now.  Wait its only 10:00 AM... ugh

    Anyway, I hope they keep the price reasonable.  Honestly, despite my many annoyances with the game I hope it succeeds.  I was considering buying Bolas as a show of solidarity with the developers and with the knowledge that they absolutely need cash to operate and provide us new content.

    That being said, I won't pay $50+ for a PW.  I have 6000 crystals and my charity only goes so far.

    I hope they start fresh and offer Bolas for $15.00 and make more money than they ever would offering him at $50.00.
