Whenever Ultron attacks, he connives. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
Whenever a creature you control connives, you may pay {1}. If you do, create a 2/2 colorless Robot Villain artifact creature token.

What an Ultron, Unlimited deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- haste, evasion and protection for the commander, and extra combats (its own attack is the engine)
The Ultron, Unlimited deck plan

- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise

- 5× A team pump that actually pumps tokens

- 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
- 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
