Cast in green ramp with Chromatic Lantern :P Doing that will allow you to cast it T3-T4ish; which should cement you a win.

In these colors, you don't even need to ramp into it very hard. Grixis control can easily create a stranglehold on the gamestate, so you can slowly build up to 7 mana, and then when they're already in a weakened position, you offer them a Cruel Ultimatum that they'll likely never recover from.
Usually I'll run it in a Pyromancer Ascension deck; it really helps out the recent of your control spells, and you're almost certain to win if you're able to get copies of the Ultimatum.

"I'm preparing my Cruel Ultimatum mana." And then awesome happened.

I honestly think this card does a better job of feeling Bolas than his actual cards do. It's just so plain evil.

EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!
SARKHAN VOL! VERSUS. NICOL BOLAS!
Sarkhan:
I am the Dragonmaster,

The monsters of myth obey my incendiary commands!
With torrents of Banefire you will MEET my DEMAND!
With an Act of Treason, Abandon all your Reason!
Your Soul's Fire now obeys my every Desire!
The Primal Rage burning within your heart?
I will Forge in Shivan Gorge into Dragon Claws and I will RIP YOU APART!
Bolas:
I AM NICOL F**KING BOLAS! I AM THE KING, THE TYRANT, THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS!
EMPEROR OF MADARA, IMMORTAL FOREVER SERPENT!
I WILL BI*CH-SLAP YOUR FACE, AS I PROCLAIM YOUR RACE,

The effect this card gives is nasty but like all ultimatums it is very difficult to cast and Grixis colors just cant do it regularly.

Both the new and old arts are sweeeeeeeet. When in doubt you can always Spelltwine it, after playing/discarding it.
Even in my sub-par learning-the-game decks I would win basically just by casting it.

Good news for those who don't fancy paying through the nose (and perhaps every one of your sweat pores) for an FtV set: This card, with this art, will be appearing in the Grixis Commander 2013 deck.
