Visage of Bolas
A tutor wearing a mana rock's clothes. The fixing half is the Grixis trinity packed into a single artifact, untapping each turn to feed exactly the three colors its namesake demands; the search half quietly assembles one specific elder dragon. What makes the design unusual is the destination clause: instead of pulling the dragon onto the battlefield, it routes Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver to your hand, leaving you to pay full freight for one of the heaviest casting costs in the game. That restraint is deliberate. The artifact accelerates you toward the payoff without skipping a step, so the dragon still has to be deployed honestly rather than cheated, and the search reaches both library and graveyard, which turns an unfortunate mill or a tutored-and-discarded copy into recoverable progress rather than dead weight. The result is a narrow enabler welded to half a combo: a four-mana rock that does nothing toward any finisher but the one it names, and that earns its slot purely as additional virtual copies of that single dragon, raising the odds of drawing into the sequence even in a deck already running the maximum. It belongs to a small family of artifacts built as a two-card play with a named partner, where the rock exists only to summon the monster it serves.
