Every one here seem to be sure of Bolas defeat and death.
As a big fan of him, I would be disappointed if he died and if that the case, I hope it's not a stupid character with a toy sword like Gideon or jace that achieve that but no less than Ugin. Even if he's not central to the story,he could at least be the turning tide of the battle.
But now, I want to be more positive and I think Bolas will not die. Again.
- Because him losing and dying is.. too much evident.
- We know the elder spell will be a card, and so will probably be casted by Bolas
- He has plot hole with the eldrazi and phyrexian, like a lot of other character
- I really doubt a lot of planeswalker character from the story will die. Those whose spark will serve to cast the random spell will be random walkers
- Because he's bolas and other character are way too stupid to understand his plan and the menace of him returning one day is good for the story (Like it is for Phyrexian or Eldrazi)
My bet would be :
- Bolas manage to cast the elder spell and ascend to godhood again
- Ugin show up and lock Bolas in a time loop. Bolas think he's won and is a god, but unbeknown to him, he's going to revive that victory and the day he cast the elder spell for eternity. Thus removing him as a threat.. for now
- Tezzeret will trigger Bolas "vengeance plan" planned in case of its defeat and open the planar bridge to phyrexia
And mat-selesnya as the populate one.

It's very strange to see Niv so changed. I'm not sure what to think about it.
