Kira (Legacy Ultimatum): It's actually a pretty good idea. It's just that it's basically a Modern deck with Worldly Tutor. And I don't actually think this deck needs it. Not enough original dual lands, me thinks. Things like Birds of Paradise and etc. are probably better here than current mana dorks. Not to mention that it could do with a bunch of Natural Order to go boost this up. Cycling through using Sylvan Library sounds really vital here too.

DeathsSelano (Modern Elvish Ultimatum): Manabase could be better (mostly using Razorverge Thicket since you want Path to Exile and Elves quickly). Pendalhaven or Dryad Arbor seems fun to play too. I think at least 2 more fetchlands could help to basically thin the deck. The concept itself is quite simple. Use Elves as the quickest way to get out an Ultimatum, then swing with all of them. It just needs a little polish around the edges.

HSektor (Modern Blink Ultimatum): Yay for first place. I think this is just the most cohesive deck really. I played around with this idea for a while. Maybe I'm biased. Abusing the whole ETB triggers is a serious thing to do. Everything makes enough impact to be good Clarion targets, but, at the same time, are perfectly good creatures on their own accord. Restoration Angel/Thragtusk is solid, and using reanimation of Reveillark and Sun Titan is absolutely solid too.

Dae Breaker (Modern Esper Ultimatum): It's basically a nice classic Esper Control with a big finisher. It's the equivalent of Reanimation though (cheating out a big fattie - in this case, for 8 less mana). It can function as a control deck by itself very well anyway using the suite of planeswalkers.

-Griselbrand- (Modern Coalition Ultimatum): I thought this was a really inventive twist on Coalition Victory. Glittering Wish was ingenious too. Clarion Ultimatum searching out lands means thinning your deck quite a lot and generally making you win faster. I think it's self-explanatory. It's very efficient, and very well-thought out. I like the wishboard too - Maelstrom Angel is a fun card to play.

Jordan, Lich Lord (Legacy Ultimatum): Another clever use of mana dorks. However, I think there's not enough creatures to realistically go through win cons. It's got a very vulnerable mana base to Strip Mine and Wasteland. Clarion Ultimatum doesn't really search much which is my problem with it. It's very streamlined and probably playable enough.
