Deck overview

This colorless deck pairs explosive fast mana and heavy stax denial with crushing Eldrazi titans and artifact combo finishes. Led by Ultima, Origin of Oblivion, the deck accelerates rapidly using premier mana lands and artifacts such as Mishra's Workshop, Ancient Tomb, Sol Ring, and Mana Vault. It establishes early board control on Turns 2 and 3 through oppressive lock pieces like Trinisphere, Chalice of the Void, Cursed Totem, Torpor Orb, and Winter Orb, suffocating opposing development while breaking parity through multi-mana colorless sources and Unwinding Clock. By Turn 4, the deck pivots into decisive game-ending states: assembling the infinite mana combo of Basalt Monolith and Forsaken Monument to kill the table with Walking Ballista, establishing an unbreakable lockout with Karn, the Great Creator and Mycosynth Lattice, or casting devastating annihilator threats like Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Kozilek, the Great Distortion.
