Cruel Ultimatum

Description

Cruel Ultimatum is a rare sorcery card from the 2013 Commander 2013 set, identified by card number 182 and the set code C13. Designed for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card requires a mana cost of {U}{U}{B}{B}{B}{R}{R} and has a mana value of 7. It belongs to the B/R/U color identity, offering significant impact through its complex rules text. The card’s effect is designed to disrupt an opponent while simultaneously strengthening the controller. Upon resolution, the target opponent must sacrifice a creature of their choice, discard three cards, and lose 5 life. In return, the controller returns a creature card from their graveyard to their hand, draws three cards, and gains 5 life. This dual nature of inflicting damage and resource denial makes it a notable inclusion for players who favor aggressive or control-oriented strategies in the Commander format. Art by Todd Lockwood, the card features flavor text that reads: "There is always a greater power." This thematic element complements the card’s overwhelming effect, reinforcing the narrative of dominance and sacrifice inherent in the game’s lore.
