Archenemy: Nicol Bolas is the second multiplayer-focused Magic set designed for the Archenemy format.

Unlike the first Archenemy release, which offered four villain decks with varying themes, Nicol Bolas contains just one deck for its namesake villain, along with 20 new scheme cards. However, it also includes three decks, focused on members of the Gatewatch, tuned specifically for play against that villain deck.

Set details

“

A battle 25,000 years in the making.

”

In Archenemy: Nicol Bolas, one player takes on the role of the elder dragon Planeswalker while the rest unite to meet the challenge. The set contains four 60-card decks (each containing a non-premium planeswalker card) and a deck of 20 all new oversized Scheme cards. According to the packaging, the Planeswalkers will be Nicol Bolas, Gideon Jura, Chandra Nalaar and Nissa Revane. It also contains 10 double-sided tokens, 4 deck boxes, 1 life tracker and 1 rules insert. The set will be sold in English only.

The complete set comes in one box as opposed to the original Archenemy, which was sold in four different game packs. It will be released on June 16, 2017 at an MSRP of 59.99$.

The art of the packaging and the schemes shows Amonkhet-style art and scenes, implying that this is the battle between the Gatewatch and Bolas in Hour of Devastation.

Theme decks

Archenemy: Nicol Bolas has four preconstructed decks, one for Nicol Bolas and three for the members of the Gatewatch.
