Ultima card art

Ultima

Sorcery MV 5

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Destroy all artifacts and creatures. End the turn. (Exile all spells and abilities from the stack, including this card. The player whose turn it is discards down to their maximum hand size. Damage wears off, and "this turn" and "until end of turn" effects end.)

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    Ending the turn this way means the following things happen in order: (1) All spells and abilities on the stack are exiled. This includes any abilities that triggered as a result of destroying all artifacts and creatures as well as Ultima, though it will continue to resolve. It also includes spells and abilities that can't be countered. (2) All attacking and blocking creatures are removed from combat. (3) State-based actions are checked. No player gets priority, and no triggered abilities are put onto the stack. (4) The current phase and/or step ends. The game skips straight to the cleanup step. The cleanup step happens in its entirety.

  • 2025-06-06

    If any triggered abilities do trigger during the process of ending the turn, they're put onto the stack during the cleanup step. If this happens, players will have a chance to cast spells and activate abilities, then there will be another cleanup step before the turn finally ends.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Ultima

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Ultima — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
