Ulamog, the Defiler (Borderless) from Modern Horizons 3 makes a bold statement on the battlefield. The borderless frame emphasizes its size, pairing a 10 mana cost with a 7/7 body. When you cast this spell, target opponent exiles half their library, rounded up. Ward requires you to sacrifice two permanents to shield it. Ulamog enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the greatest mana value among cards in exile, and Ulamog has annihilator X, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on it. Together, these abilities shape the game by turning your top end into a sustained threat.
From a strategic standpoint, this borderless foil serves as a top end threat that scales with the exiled pool. The larger the mana value of exiled cards, the more counters Ulamog accumulates and the greater the annihilator X becomes. In Modern Horizons 3, this design rewards ramp, card draw, and careful timing, turning a single casting into a decisive swing. The foil finish adds a tactile, gleaming presence to a deck built around big Eldrazi power.
