A seven-mana sorcery. Emergent Ultimatum not only marks the return of the Ultimatum cycle to Magic but sets the expectation that players will be seeing them for each shard that doesn’t have one – Sultai, Mardu, Abzan, Temur, and Jeskai.
Search your library for up to three monocolored cards with different names and exile them. An opponent chooses one of those cards. Shuffle that card into your library. You may cast the other cards without paying their mana costs. Exile Emergent Ultimatum.
“Part Gifts Ungiven, part Mind’s Desire, part Demonic Tutor, Emergent Ultimatum, like those powerful predecessors, isn’t the endgame in and of itself—but it might as well be.” explained Rasmussen in his article about the exciting Sultai sorcery on Daily MTG.
How good Emergent Ultimatum ends up being is anyone’s guess but the fact that four more Ultimatums are likely on their way has everyone in the Magic community buzzing.
