Ulamog, the Defiler Unleashed
Ulamog makes a clear statement in any long game. With a heavy mana cost of {10}, this legendary Eldrazi demands attention. When you cast this spell, target opponent exiles half their library, rounded up, a brutal disruption that can derail an opponent’s plan before you untap. The Ward ability, Ward—Sacrifice two permanents, adds a balancing risk for those who would contest the board. In Modern Horizons 3, this card embodies the set’s chaotic tempo and raw power, offering a reliable path to value through disruption and inevitability.
On the battlefield, Ulamog enters with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the greatest mana value among cards currently exiled, which scales as the exile pile grows. It also carries annihilator X, where X is that counter count, turning each attack into a potential mass sacrifice for your opponent. The combination of exile disruption, a strong entry with counters, and annihilator makes Ulamog a high impact finisher in big mana and control-leaning shells of Modern Horizons 3.
