[karrrrrllll]

this guy looks like JR from the wrasslin' show

[canman87]

As long as you get the seven cards you need (forest, Hierarch, two fetchlands, Khalni Heart, Lotus Cobra, AND the ultimatum itself) out of the nine you will see by that time and have no disruption of any kind, you're golden.

Turn one Duress, Bolt, or Path severely cripple that draw, though. Negate laughs on turns 2+.

[HooHaNerdfighter]

you can turn three Cruel ultimatum.

Turn 1 - Forest & Hierarch

Turn 2 - use Hierarch and forest to play Khalni Heart Expedition, then play sac land

Turn 3 - Use Forest and Hierarch to play lotus cobra, play another sac land, sac both sac lands, crack khalni heart, tap all mana, and you have 7 mana of whatever colour combination you want

[SkirataNightShade]

although, you could pull off a turn 3 ultimatum in extended, where you can use the Ravnica Block dual lands

[Veiwer77]

Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Cruel ultimatum would be harder to pull off then.

[MasterOGA]

The forest/other source that made green mana to cast the birds. There is no Green in cruel ultimatum (UUBBBRR), only reason it work for violent is the green mana in its cost.

[check4v]

Because Warp World always gives you what you need.

[Veiwer77]

What do you mean? The cobra's landfall trigger produces any color mana you need.

[MasterOGA]

You can't do turn 3 cruel....the Green mana stops you

[xex999]

turn 1 land with or with out birds, turn 2 you play cobra and turn 3 you play fetch sac net two land tap 1 land harrow for 2 mana and 4 land and tap for baloth, for the ultimatum you need the turn 1 bird
