    How it works

    Before you start

    You have another Eldrazi creature card in hand.

    Steps

    Cast any other Eldrazi except Drowner of Truth by paying its mana cost, triggering Ulalek. Holding priority, cast Drowner of Truth by paying {4}{C}{G/U}{G/U}. Drowner of Truth and Ulalek trigger. Resolve the Ulalek trigger, causing you to pay {C}{C} to copy all spells you control and then copy all activated and triggered abilities you control, ensuring to put Drowner of Truth's trigger on top of Ulalek's trigger. Resolve the copy of Drowner of Truth's trigger, creating two 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn creature tokens. Activate the Eldrazi Spawns by sacrificing them, adding {C}{C}. Resolve the copy of Ulalek's trigger, causing you to pay {C}{C} to copy all spells you control and then copy all activated and triggered abilities you control, ensuring to put Drowner of Truth's trigger on top of Ulalek's trigger. Repeat from step 5.
