Not the Bolas (But my Commander is) [EDH]

[Oversoul]

Nicol Bolas was one of the only Legends legends for which I still had not built a deck. Well, now I've changed that. I make people discard their cards. I'm not the Bolas, but the Bolas is in my command zone. This deck probably doesn't constitute much of a threat if I can't get Waste Not onto the field. But it sure does make opponents discard cards.

[Oversoul]

Played this deck twice last week. In its first game, I kept losing life to triggers that my opponents controlled. Knowing that I was about to die, I managed to recur Windfall and deck myself.

In the second game, I held on until I was one of just two players left, but my opponent had me completely outclassed. I was able to cast Nicol Bolas, but my opponent had several 20 flyers or something.
