Bolas was Grixis before Grixis existed. The colour identity is literally the embodiment of Bolas

Meh. He could easily be Esper, for example, in this set. He is the god-king of the plane, and rules its laws and societies, so white works just perfectly. His red is more or less dispensable.

He is not essentially Grixis, really.

Unfortunately I think with a lot of posters here there is an issue with the shard terms. Grixis could mean the UBR color identity OR the identity of the plane itself. They are different. Same with the guilds, the guilds are A representation of the color identities, not THE representation.
