Bolas is 30 dollars at starcity games... Why? Bolas is a one format card(EDH). The flip requirement is way too high for standard/modern and the etb isn't that great.
Cards that have people buzzing before the release are always given ridiculous price tags like that. It's nothing but people speculating on the hype.
He's not bad, really. A 4/4 flier for 4 is decent and he has a relevant upside of forcing a opponents to discard a card. I just don't think grixis wants him right now, and 30 dollars is kind of a rip off for a card that will likely only see play after rotation in standard. The 5 drop dragon that browbeats the opponent is probably stronger since it's effectively got a form of haste on it. I would say I wish they printed Thundermaw Hellkite, but given how powerful red is right now that's probably not a good idea.

2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
