Ulalek, Fused Atrocity: EDH Deck Tech (High Power) // Modern Horizons 3

[@PubStompMTG]

Minor error on Conduit of Ruin: Cast trigger won't really have an effect because you'll search with the first and put it on top of your library and do it over again. So you'll only really use that cast trigger once. But making creature spells cost 4 less with both on the battlefield is huge for Eldrazi.

[@irvinyeager2958]

Does Emrakul the Promised end suffer from a similar issue and you only get one opponent's turn?

[@PubStompMTG]

@irvinyeager2958 no it doesnt. You copy it twice messing with two opponents turns. They will get an extra turn following that. Just depends on which one you target first.

[@andrewmorante2773]

I guess it’s worth mentioning Emrakul, the World Anew wouldn’t work since you’d have to copy the Emrakul as well and once one of them dies from legend rule, all your creatures die

[@cfenim01]

Don't copy the creature, just the trigger by flashing in another eldrazi​@@andrewmorante2773

Salt comes from explaining the stack interaction to the table

Yes🤣🤣

[@MarvelOfRain]

6:35 - Do not copy Emrakul. I repeat do not copy Emrakul! You will just boardwipe yourself and another 2 players where you could have instead gotten a 12/12 flyer + one of their boards. It being legendary makes it quite a bit worse in this case.

[@oneringer6295]

I'm glad they're giving the eldrazi some more love. Would love to see a storyline out of Ulalek and if it was a pre - or post fusion of Ulamog and Kozilek.

[@PubStompMTG]

Absolutely!

[@spencersantiago7263]

I got the deck and in the manual it explains that Ulalek is what happens when two titans "reach into the pool" from the same location in The Blind Eternities. It only appeared once on a unknown plain that was consumed a long time ago, so it's a past manifestation.

[@Iguanazilla69]

Did not think to do flash speed things to copy extra things on the stack. This is nuts

[@PubStompMTG]

Yeah your right it is nuts lol

[@tylercrissman847]

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere so I'll point it out. If you have a ton of annihilator triggers on the stack after attacking, you can flash an eldrazi spell and copy every annihilator trigger and even retarget them to a player you didn't attack.

[@rocky43499]

Loved this video! Did not expect the sound effects from the eldrazi!

[@PubStompMTG]

Tried to make it a lil more special!

[@ZidaneTribal1989]

If you trigger Ulalek with Echoes of Eternity, you will either get 1, 2, or 3 additional copies of the Eldrazi spell plus the same number of cast triggers in most cases.

[@sable-eyesonixdragon8642]

You might as well throw Animar in there and get an infinite combo out of these cards cloudstone.

[@redemption101caleb]

Looking at the decks for this online and seeing how few add haste enablers, I just know I’m gonna need to explain the stack a lot to people.

[@flyingby3703]

Please explain it to me as well. I have this deck on preorder and I'm not very knowledgeable about the stack yet.

[@Butmunch666]

When you cast a spell it goes on the stack. Then all triggers on cast also go on the stack so lets say that now you have the creature and the cast trigger on the stack. Now you pay 2 to copy them. You add three more copies of the triggers on the stack so you then reaolve them in order based on which thing landed on the stavk last. Resolve that, then the next one then the next etc. This is all in instant speed so they would resolve before you'd be able to cast another creature, but if the had flash you could lets say cast another eldeazi and it goes on the stack, add another trigger and then pay two if you have it. Now you copy ALL the things on the stack AGAIN and youd essentially get 4 of the initial creature, 4 of the initial cards on cast effects and double the second cards. Please note legend rule applies here. So when the extras come in those rules apply and youd have to sac the creatures. Hope that wasnt too confusing an explanation.

[@Butmunch666]

Sorry you add not three but copies of the triggers already on the stack. Thing is the second cast copies the copies.

[@flyingby3703]

@@Butmunch666 i see, thank you for the explanation! Why is haste importent then (original comment)? Or did they just mean flash? Also today I played my first game with this deck and my commander was removed from tge board before I could cast anything 3 times in a row so I never even got to use the ability lol. Ended up winning without it.

[@Butmunch666]

@@flyingby3703 Haste is not important here, its the flash. Haste is important mostly for just killing someone with the massive bruiser you cast that turn and possibly trigger annihilator and similar effects- The thing is the stack resolves at instant speed. You can only stack on top of it with instant speed casts or abilities you trigger from cards since those are all instant speed and you then šut those on the stack. Imagine a pile of cards you're making, you make the bottom layer of the pile when you cast, when you do the cast trigger resolves and puts a fictitious card that states the effect on top of the pile. You can then, lets say use the commander ability and copy the cards already on the pile and stack those on top but you can also after that add more stuff to the pile, but to do it you need to use instant speed cards. So casting an eldrazi as an instant adds to the pile, which can help you trigger the doubling effect.

[@GetGoaded1328]

Emrakul, the world anew is kinda bad with ulalek unless you have mirror box because you'll make a token copy that gets sacrificed to legend rule and boardwipes yourself

[@adamb4159]

This commander with Ulamog's Dredsire = a total nightmare, and it comes in the precon. Kicking out 2x 10/10 Eldrazi Creatures per turn is just...

[@seananderson2044]

Some other good cards to consider: Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty - a cheap card that gives 6+ mana cards cascade. Jodah, The Unifier - lets you play more legendary Eldrazi for free, and buffs them. Basalt Monolith - can go infinite, and allow you to infinitely make copies of everything. Mirror Box - lets you keep the copies of your legendary eldrazi, and buffs them. Impact Tremors - deals one damage to each opponent whenever a creature enters you field. Could probably win the game using just this and your commander. Fiery Emancipation - triple combat damage from big Eldrazi. The Great Henge - good card draw, healing, mana, etc. Ulalek + Basalt Monolith + Impact Tremors would be a game winning infinite combo. Don't forget protection for Ulalek. The various equipments would work well. Preferably something that gives him hexproof.

[@PubStompMTG]

Good options here! I like them! 👍

[@MarvelOfRain]

Note that if you can get more then one spell on of the stack you also get a copy the original Ulalek trigger. I will not go into detail but you can do insane stuff. Getting 8 or 16 copies of 6 drop is much easier then you think (Kozilek’s command is the main culprint being an insane mana generator and an Eldrazi instant).

[@andrewhawkinson3410]

I'm dumb please elaborate 🥲 I can't see how that works.

[@aquacode2]

​@andrewhawkinson3410 basically you cast an eldrazi spell, then ulalek's trigger goes on the stack. You respond to that trigger with something like kozilek's command (x=10 because why not), which IS an eldrazi spell, thus creating another ulaek trigger. You pay the 2 colorless, copying the kozilek's command, ulalek trigger, and initial eldrazi+ trigger that you cast. Let the two x=10 commands resolve and get 20 scions + whatever else you pick. Now you can pay for the most recent ulalek trigger, which again will copy the initial ulalek trigger. Rinse and repeat. Hope this helped.

[@riznix9237]

​@@aquacode2I don't think you can copy ulaleks ability itself like that.

[@PubStompMTG]

[@TiwazPagan-if3og]

Can someone help with clarification - Let's say Ulalek is on the field, and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. In order to get a second a trigger from Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger's attack trigger exiling 20 cards of an opponents library, I can only double this effect by flashing in an Eldrazi spell and paying the 2 colorless specific mana from Ulalek, while in combat declare attackers step with Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger as he is attacking correct? I hope my wording made sense. Basically what I'm saying is if I cast an Eldrazi spell at sorcery speed during my first main phase, and pay the 2 colorless with Ulamek to copy, while Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger is sitting there I won't get to copy Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger's triggered ability because it does need to be attacking for it to trigger...

[@PubStompMTG]

Whatever trigger is on the stack, if you cast an eldrazi spell, you can copy everything on the stack, including the attack trigger of ulamog, to double exiling cards. The same will be applied to the annialator.

This such a fun deck tech it is tempting to make a colourless deck

[@PubStompMTG]

That is something I do enjoy with ulalek, you can play pretty much amy color combo or no color for your deck. Has so much options

[@jayfletcher8936]

I pretty sure it doesn't copy the cast trigger. You cast it by paying its CMC. Then it copy's the spell, turning it into a token. So technically your not "creating" a token either. It just copy's what's on the stack. But you have to cast the eldrazi spell in order to copy everything on the stack.

[@jayfletcher8936]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what my friends and I made it out to be. I usually play veyran voice of duality, and if your copying spells it doesn't give an additional cast trigger. Because you cast it once, then copy it.

[@PubStompMTG]

"copy all spells you control, then copy all other activated and triggered abilities you control. You may choose new targets for the copies."cast triggers are on the stack, and you can copy them because ulaleks ability will trigger last and you pay into that colorless cost to copy all triggered, activated and spells on the stack. You're creating a token copy of that eldrazi you copied because you're copying all spells on the stack including creatures

[@riznix9237]

​@@jayfletcher8936 that's not correct. It copies everything on the stack, that includes the cast trigger.

[@anthonybalista7421]

@@ML-yn9yu I guess my main issue is that to really maximize this guy you have to play alot of stuff at instant speed, and that means relying on the flash style colorless cards (Like Cicada and Liberator), and while those are great cards, i don't want to feel like i'm gimping myself the games those aren't in play). Do you have a list of what you're considering running?

[@jimgarner791]

So if you fast Zhulodok, copy it and it's abilities, you end up cascading 8 times?

[@PubStompMTG]

You cast something with 7 cmc or higher. That card will have cascade bc of zhulodok. The cards that gain cascade will double if you pay into that ability

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but when you copy a spell with ulalek, you won't get an other cast trigger from the card, right? And a cast ability isn't a triggered or activated ability, so most of the stuff with the eldrazi you talk about in the beginning, doesn't work like that?

[@olymills7395]

A triggered ability uses the words "when" "whenever" or "at" so I think "when you cast" is a triggered ability. I wouldn't put it past them to release stuff like this using the established language for a specific ability then say "oh, well ... no why would you think that"

[@PubStompMTG]

You will get an extra cast trigger on the stack because you're copying all spells, and triggered abilities on the stack
