# Nicol Bolas from Legends Nicol Bolas represents one of Magic's earliest planeswalker characters, establishing the dragon as a major villain in the game's lore. Collectors value this card primarily for its historical significance as a foundational piece of Magic mythology rather than competitive playability. The Legends printing remains the character's original appearance, making it meaningful to players interested in the game's narrative development. Condition matters considerably for older cards from this era, as wear is common. While Legends saw multiple printings, the nonfoil version represents the standard release. Collectors typically pursue this card for set completion or thematic dragon collections rather than expecting it to function in constructed formats.
