Emergent Ultimatum |

Search your library for up to three monocolored cards with different names and exile them. An opponent chooses one of those cards. Shuffle that card into your library. You may case the other cards without paying their mana costs. Exile ~.

"Strike those abominations down. Let their names rot with their remains."
-General Kudro

Genesis Ultimatum |
Sorcery (R)
Look at the top five cards of your library. Put any number of permanent cards from among them onto the battlefield and the rest into your hand. Exile ~.
No human eyes have ever witnessed the birth of an apex monster.

These seem a bit more pushed than most the older Ultimatums. Good to see that Cruel Ultimatum still stacks up reasonably though.

I like the monocolor clause on Emergent. Otherwise it would probably just be "Kozilek, Emrakul, Blightsteel". You can still get some crazy stuff from it, but I like that they removed some of the more obvious options.

I think the bigger reason for the clause is to stop you from choosing itself.

I like Eerie, Inspired, and Ruinous better than Emergent or Genesis. Genesis in particular feels weaksauce compared to some monocolored options (looking at you, Primal Surge)

Ruinous in particular is my favorite. EXACTLY what you want.

Just for aesthetic purposes I wish Emergent Ultimatum said "different colors" instead of "different names".

I find it odd that 2/3 of the cards that can put multiple things into play all at once have the exile clause, and neither of them are the one that has no upper limit on the number of those things. Sure there's more setup required to make Eerie do stupid stuff, but dumping permanents into your yard isn't exactly that hard, especially in these colors.

Yeah I've got no idea why Eerie doesn't self-exile. It's gonna be fun going infinite with it.

Eerie is being put in a Standard with a high amount of graveyard hate. I don't know if that was considered.
