Ulamog, the Defiler Borderless Foil
Ulamog, the Defiler lands as a commanding presence for big-mana builds, and this borderless light-play foil only amplifies that impression. With a hefty {10} mana investment, the legendary Eldrazi clock in at a sturdy 7/7 and enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the greatest mana value among cards exiled. When you cast this spell, target opponent exiles half their library, rounded up, a brutal tilt toward late-game inevitability. Ward—Sacrifice two permanents adds a defensive layer, slowing aggressive answers and keeping pressure on throughout the game.
In play, Ulamog scales with the exile engine, reinforcing its staying power as counters accumulate. Its annihilator X, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on it, punishes the opponent’s board once it swings, forcing the sacrifice of X permanents. The borderless artwork, rendered in a light-play foil, presents a stark, looming threat that matches the card’s mechanical tempo. It’s a tool for ramp and control-heavy strategies that seek to advance toward an overwhelming late-game convergence.
