Since we decided to proxy chunks of the decks anyways, this was a trivial change for us, but you can choose not to use it should you wish; that said, we feel it helps keep parity between the 4 Gatewatch decks and avoids a feel-bad moment when the Nissa player realizes her Oath has no functional planeswalker-enters ability like the others have. If we were WotC, we'd very likely make an entirely new cycle for this purpose, but since we're not, we felt keeping the change as small as possible was important. -## Decklists +## Nicol Bolas, Archenemy: Reimagined Decklists All decklists are in [this folder](https://archidekt.com/folders/528425) for possible future additions.
