Deck discussion for Bolas (Need Help)

First off I would say you need more lands, or some sort of ramp. The land count I would go to if you add ramp is 22 or 24 with 24 having 4x Gilded Lotus, or 22 having either 2x Sphere of the Suns or 2x Mycosynth Wellspring (I recommend the Wellspring) to go along with the 4x Gilded Lotus.
Also, I would recommend running 2x-4x Black Sun's Zenith and 4x Slagstorm, since you will need board control early game ( you should probably run 8-10 sweepers). Other sweepers include Magmaquake, Whipflare, and Devastation Tide.
You could up Bolas to 3x-4x since he is your only real win-con (and he rocks with Gilded Lotus), and replace Rewind or Dissipate with Mana Leak.
Since you are running so many sweepers, you will want your creatures to still have utility if they die right away. I would cut all but Clone and Auger, but move Mindclaw to SB if you want.
Another thing about running sweepers is that it makes it pointless to NOT use targeted removal. i recommend taking Geth's verdict to SB and putting in Go for the Throat or Dismember.

Sorry if it seems like I'm making this my deck b/c that was not my intention.

I dont like the lotus really but the wellspring or alter of lost would fit nicely want it to be able to switch between 2 diff play styles with the sideboard.
