Ugin Calls the Storm
Ugin, Eye of the Storms arrives as a near mint foil Japanese showcase from Tarkir Dragonstorm with an aura of controlled ruin. The card behaves like a slow ticking engine in colorless shells and control builds. When you cast it you immediately exile up to one target permanent that is one or more colors which gives an opening answer to problematic permanents. Its static trigger that exiles a colored permanent whenever you cast a colorless spell turns artifact based engines into removal loops, and the 0 ability to add three colorless mana accelerates those plays into real tempo swings.
Play patterns here are straightforward yet deep. The +2 keeps you alive and replaces a card, the 0 converts board presence into explosive turns, and the ultimate lets you tutor any number of colorless nonland cards to cast for free that turn. In practical decks this card shores up weak matchups against aggressive color decks and enables big combo turns in mirror and prison style lists. If you collect mythic foils or you pilot artifact heavy colorless strategies, this Ugin is both a foil centerpiece and a functional planeswalker you can build around.
