Seismic Ultimatum

Ok, so for my next deck I tried to do something different from the usual creature centric, smack you in the face deck.

Seismic Ultimatum

Main Deck

60 cards

4x Cascade Bluffs
4x Crumbling Necropolis
2x Island
4x Reflecting Pool
2x Reliquary Tower
4x Sunken Ruins
4x Vivid Creek

24 lands
4x Demigod of Revenge
4x Overbeing of Myth
3x Ashling the Pilgrim

11 creatures
3x Beseech the Queen
3x Cruel Ultimatum
2x Font of Mythos
2x Howling Mine
4x Obelisk of Grixis
3x Reminisce
3x Seismic Assault
3x Soul's Fire
2x Obelisk of Jund

25 other spells

This deck has a fair amount of draw power. With the fonts, mines, and overbeing, it is meant to keep my hand bursting with cards, which the Reliquary Tower makes sure they stay there. All this draw is needed to make sure I have a decent storage of land ready to use with Seismic Assault.

The overbeing is great for drawing cards and in most cases can be flung at opponents without too much worry. Demigod of Revenge is a great blitz card especially at end-game instances where a Cruel Ultimatum can bring one back to my hand and the rest of his friends come back for free.

The goal is to use Cruel Ultimatum's as much as possible with Seismic Assault as backup and Soul's Fire for emergencies. The creatures are mostly meant to stave off attackers.
