Cruel Ultimatum (ALA-164 foil) is a rare three-color sorcery from Shards of Alara. It makes target opponent sacrifice a creature, discard three cards, and lose 5 life, then returns a creature from your graveyard to your hand, lets you draw three cards, and gives you 5 life. The card’s large seven-mana cost and layered effects make it a high-impact finisher that can swing card advantage, board presence, and life totals all at once.
