Ugin Replacement?
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 1, 2015, 4:14 p.m. by Geko_
I've built Sultai Control, and, as you may know, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is a must have for the deck. Unfortunately, I can't get my hands on an Ugin currently because of the price. Is there anything that can replace Ugin or at least function similarly as a placeholder?

You can't replace Ugin. That's why he's so expensive.
Perilous Vault is good, but best when used in conjunction with Ugin. For control decks, landing Ugin often ends with a win. No other single card does that.

suislecalme TC is saying they can't afford the price of buying Ugin cards ATM.

You have 4 Polluted Delta and can't pay Ugin? That makes little sense to me. Anyways, nothing can replace Ugin. He does all the things. He wipes, he hits the oponent, his ultimate downright ends the game. In
current Standard, there's nothing that can give you his Bolt-+2. You're not really having any relevant spells that would work with Collected Company or Chord of Calling, which is standard's closest to the ultimate. The life effect, if you actually look for that, would be in Feed the Clan at best. You don't run Tasigur, so Feed the Clan is really bad. So the only option you could look for is the Wipe-Exile effect, which you can get from Perilous Vault. You can't cale it nicely to spare your Planeswalkers, but it's better than nothing.
