I'm really digging the flavor of the upcoming [WAR] cards, so I thought I'd try to brew up a horde deck based on the Dreadhorde. I've never played or made a horde deck, but I've wanted to ever since I first found out about them. I basically went through the MTG Wiki page for Nicol Bolas to which cards reference or depict him and include them in the deck as long as they were Grixis colors. I also included some cards from the current spoiler season. All of this is subject to change, but I'd definitely like to get some feedback. My notes on how I think the deck would function is included in the description of the decklist. It seems a little spell heavy right now, so I'm expecting to change it once I can see how many more new zombies we're getting. I'm also tempted to maybe throw in Bolas's throne and statue for his ego.
