If you think this card is weak, you've probably never played with it. It saves me almost every time I use it. I can kill a powerful creature, a planeswalker, and a crucial land or nasty enchantment with one card.

Better than Brilliant ultimatum, but not by much.

In theory destroying a permanet costs 3 mana, so destroying 3 for 7 is cost efficient, as well as being taking one card instead of three. I find this card is good if your opponent has problem permanents that you need to deal with, but most of the time I would prefer lavalanch or disaster radius for the same price

does anyone know why they changed the symbol order in DOTP?
It's RRRBBGG and looks terrible.

'cause the dominant color of the shard goes in the middle.

A healthy source of card advantage for the growing planeswalker. Except for the hideous mana cost, but the same can be said of the rest of the cycle.

You know, I always thought this Ultimatum was a little over priced.
Then I realized, relatively speaking it's like casting 3 Vindicates for 1 card. Vindicate x 3 = 9 mana and 3 cards, so the Ultimatum isn't actually overpriced at all.

With that cost it would have been ok with destroy 4 permanents . .
I love the flavor though . .
Words are waste of time . . Destruction is a language everyone understands.
3.5/5

2 mana is a good deal to save you a card. This saves you 2 cards. So if we compare this to 3 vindicates (1WB), already a great card since it can be ANY permanent, this would cost 11WB (13 CMC). Your 3rd destroyed permanent isn't as good as the 1st destroyed permanent, and this has no colorless mana in its cost, but 7 colored mana is still a good deal.
Heck worst case scenario hit their nastiest guy and 2 lands, setting them back a turn or two.

Yo dawg, we heard you like vindicate, so we put in a double vindicate in your vindicate, so can vindicate twice while you vindicate.
7CMC for a triple vindicate is very nice indeed, don't underestimate this, it can do wonders. Raw power at its finest, though I prefer cruel ultimatum, i have this in my jund EDH, and it can really wreak havoc when it goes off, as it really tilts the game in your favour.
