His “suitable place” was Alara, which Bolas had been watching for decades. In fact, he had already begun plotting his next scheme for power. 'I have prepared a suitable place for myself in that eventuality,' he said before departing through the Talon Gates. Nicol Bolas left a crumbling Dominaria before The Mending, implying that it couldn't be saved. He’s also survived the destruction of his Madaran Empire on Dominaria at the hands of Tetsuo Umezawa, the epic duels between the Planeswalkers Leshrac and Teferi, and The Mending, which healed the universe and consequently changed the very nature of the Planeswalker spark, costing several Planeswalkers their lives. Witness to countless wars, cataclysms, and rivalries, Bolas is one of only five elder dragons to survive the Dragon War. Mana hungry and wielding a triple threat of blue, black, and red spells, he’s a force of villainous destruction, crushing all magic-and minds-that stand in his way.

Elder dragon and tyrant of worlds, Nicol Bolas is one of the oldest known beings in the Multiverse.
