Deck discussion for Myr Cruel Ultimatum

Hmm, it's not a bad IDEA, building around Cruel Ultimatum, but there are better ways of doing it in my opinion.

Basically, there are two ways to go. One is to focus on the Myr aspect. Are you familiar with the infinite combo? If not, the combo runs a little like this:

Step 1: Control 2 Myr Galvaniser (2/2 for 3. each other Myr gets +1/+1. 1t, untap each other myr you control), then have 2 myr that produce mana
Step 2: Tap the two Myr for mana, then use 1 mana for galvaniser to untap each other myr. (1 mana in mana pool)
Step 3: Add 2 mana wih myr again (3 mana in mana pool) spend 1 mana for galvaniser to untap other myr (including the first tapped galvaniser)(2 mana in mana pool, we're back at the start of this step!) Hey presto, infinite mana!

Obviously you can use your infinite mana to fireball your opponents face in for gigantic damage, or even more creative spells with X in their mana cost (you can figure that out :), or just plain cast maybe 2 or 3 cruel ultimatums from your hand for big damage, plenty of cards etc. etc.
{just ignore this whole bit if you actually did understand the combo and now I feel like an idiot}


The OTHER way to go is to run a cruel ultimatum combo deck with spellweaver helix.
There's a really good example of this deck here: http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/boab/33
This basically lets you chuck a few Ultimatums at your opponents face on turn 4 or 5.

So, if you want to go with the combo Myr strategy, then 4x Myr Galvaniser should do the job nicely. Hopefully you've got enough draw that you can find enough ultimatums to win on your combo turn. Basically, Cruel Ultimatum doesn't win games on it's own on one turn (but four on one turn do :D)

Anyway, hopefully I've been of some help,
~A

The whole deck was just a silly idea that came to me while thinking of deck ideas. I am a fairly new player, but I do know some things, but Myr Cruel Ultimatum just sounded so stupid to me that I had to do it. Thanks for the tip on Myr Galvaniser though, he can help with ramping a lot and I didn't even know such a card existed. This by no means is supposed to be an actual viable Cruel Ultimatum deck and is meant to be something silly.
