this may be a stupid question, but does this card allow you to play those certain creature cards without paying their mana cost?

@stikfigure16: "does this card allow you to play those certain creature cards without paying their mana cost?" - Yes, stupid question, because it answers it right on the card. They aren't cast - they're "put onto the battlefield." So they go there without you having to pay any mana, but it's different than casting them without paying their mana cost because they can't be countered and don't trigger "when... cast" triggered abilities.
That said, I don't get the comments talking about this card's viability in Standard when it was in Standard. This isn't a Standard card. It's a casual Timmy card. It seems pretty obvious - it wants you to play with creatures that just aren't plentiful enough in a small environment, and in a way that, even with Ponder and Sensei's Divining Top effects may not really be tournament worthy anyway. But fun at a casual table? Hell yeah. This is the #1 card that has ever made me want to play Blue.

paradox haze. reveal a realy nasty card 3 times in one turn, then play it at you end step for free. assuming you just didnt play this on turn 1, had a few lucky draws and then start playing creatures on turn 3+ (when paradox haze becomes avalible).

I wonder who is Ula. Reminds me of the old animated movie "Heavy Metal" which had an entity called "Uhluhtc" ("Cthulhu" spelled backwards, and pronounced as "Ulatec").
It kinda fits because Cthulhu is affiliated with krakens and sea leviathans.

@Arachnos
Technically, Ula is Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre! The three Zendikar deities Ula, Cosi, and Emeria were time-worn and corrupted memories of the first time the Eldrazi came to Zendikar. The denizens of Zendikar before the Eldrazi were set free worshipped these old "gods" much as people from our world worship our deities, and throughout the first two sets in the block you see a lot of references to these mistaken gods.

You don't even need to build your deck around it really, if you're going green blue like Kiora. Those two colours make for the silliest creatures.

If Ula is Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, then shouldn't Ulamog switch bodies with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, since it has all those tentacles and whatnot?
EDIT: Nvm, All is Dust reveals that Ulamog does indeed have tentacles.

my favorite cards to get with this are Nemesis of Reason(Leviathan) and Wrexial, the Risen Deep(Kraken)
Those two have excellent synergy together, and this brings them together.
