Magic: The Gathering – Archenemy: Nicol Bolas

About this board game

Magic: The Gathering – Archenemy: Nicol Bolas is a stand-alone one-vs.-many game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. One player takes on the role of Nicol Bolas, while the others work together to survive against this powerful foe.

Much like the original Archenemy release, this set creates an uneven confrontation: a single opponent faces a team of players. Cooperation is essential as you and your friends attempt to withstand Nicol Bolas—or fall to him.

Archenemy: Nicol Bolas is designed to be playable straight out of the box, without requiring any additions. The set includes four 60-card decks, providing the cards needed for the player group and the powerful opposing role. These decks contain no new card content.

• Four 60-card decks
• Four non-premium planeswalker cards featuring new art
• A 20-card scheme deck with 20 all-new, unique schemes

The scheme deck is the centerpiece of Nicol Bolas’s side of the confrontation, adding the set’s all-new schemes to the one-vs.-many format. The result is a compact team challenge built around surviving together against a single, formidable enemy.

Released in 2017, Magic: The Gathering – Archenemy: Nicol Bolas offers an accessible way to experience an Archenemy game with a complete, ready-to-play set. Gather up to three friends, choose your side, and see whether teamwork is enough to stand against Nicol Bolas.
