Description
Genesis Ultimatum, designated as card number 336, is a rare sorcery from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering expansion Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. Played for a mana cost of seven, this multi-colored spell draws from green, red, and blue sources. The card allows players to examine the top five cards of their library, placing any number of permanent cards onto the battlefield while returning the remainder to their hand. After resolving its effect, the card is exiled, making it a one-time impactful play rather than a reusable asset. Designed by Jason Rainville, this card represents a significant strategic tool within the Ikoria set. Its high mana value and multi-color requirements make it a late-game finisher or a comeback mechanism for decks capable of generating substantial mana. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek this card for its unique mechanical design and its role in the Behemoth-themed expansion. The card's ability to filter the library and generate immediate board presence appeals to players looking for versatile options in competitive and casual formats. As a standard rarity card, Genesis Ultimatum is a staple for those completing the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths collection. Its distinct mana cost and exiling clause set it apart from similar board-building spells. Enthusiasts of TCG card collecting appreciate the card for its strategic depth and its place within the diverse landscape of Magic: The Gathering releases. Whether building a deck around late-game power or simply collecting iconic cards from the 2020 era, this card offers both mechanical intrigue and catalog significance.
