Why is a Nicol Bolas rated 4-A as a Neowalker?

I'm just really curious as most Neowalkers are around Wall to Building level. Is because of his power-level as an Elder Dragon or what?

I guess that makes sense. The only issue I have is that Nyx is a seperate realm that is not only the night sky but it is also tied to dreams and the subconcious mind. What I'm trying to say is that Nyx doesn't seem to really adhear to regular coventions of the what constitutes the sky or space.

But, honsestly, I don't know enough about the nature of Nyx or it's relationship with the gods to really say and I'm not here to try and downgrade them.
 
Nyx is indeed kind of vague, though multiple pieces of the Theros block's promotional and extra material states the gods are "infused with stars and live their lives like moving constellations".

The reason Bolas is scaled is because Heliod attempted to kill Elspeth, but the sheer power of her spark prevented him from doing so. In fact, he had to wait until she was weak from her fight with Xenagos before killing her with Godsend.

While Elspeth's true power likely wasn't fully available for most of her life (only granting her protection, such as when Heliod tried to slay her the first time), Bolas should still be notably superior to both her with Godsend as well as Theros' gods. Likely not as strong as the weakened physical Eldrazi manifestations (Kruphix feared that should the Eldrazi ever find Theros, they would completely destroy it along with Nyx), but still very powerful compared to the other neowalkers, as only Ugin really put up a fight against him. I mean...Ajani sort of did, but that was by using Bolas' own power against him.
