A control deck with a focus on resource management and graveyard recursion would benefit from including Cruel Ultimatum in its strategy, as it provides a versatile set of effects that can swing the game in your favor. While there may be more efficient cards for specific effects like removal or card draw, the sheer value and flexibility of Cruel Ultimatum make it a strong contender for inclusion in certain control decks, especially those looking to grind out a long game and outvalue their opponent. Its high mana cost may limit its playability in faster formats, but in slower, more grindy matchups, Cruel Ultimatum can be a game-winning play.

Rules

03/14/17

Cruel Ultimatum’s only target is an opponent. You don’t choose which creature card in your graveyard you’ll return to your hand until Cruel Ultimatum resolves.

03/14/17

If, as Cruel Ultimatum begins to resolve, your opponent’s life total is 5 or less and you have two or fewer cards in your library, the game will result in a draw. Your opponent’s life total will drop to 0 or less, but Cruel Ultimatum must finish resolving completely before state-based actions are performed. You’ll then be forced to draw three cards and fail to draw one. When state-based actions are finally performed, you and your opponent will both lose the game at the same time, which means the game is a draw.
