I checked the rulings on this card, but they didn't answer my question for sure. I run a single copy in my 5 Color Planeswalker deck, however, this deck runs no creatures. So my question is: Do you have to meet all of the requirements for the Ultimatum? Basically, if I cast Cruel Ultimatum and I don't have a creature in my graveyard to return to my hand, does the spell effectively 'fizzle' or will that not matter? I'm thinking that since the rulings on the card say that you don't return a creature until it resolves and that it only targets a player, I can still cast itand have it resolve even with no creature to return (the card doesn't say you may return a creature. I guess that's why I'm so unsure).
You need card tags in future posts - the wording on Cruel Ultimatum is VERY important to answering this question correctly. Read the Forum Guidelines.

You would only need a creature to return if it says "Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand". Since that key word "Target" isn't there, you don't need to have a creature card in your graveyard.
yeah, all you need is an opponent. you can play it even if your opponent has no cards in his hand, and has no creatures on his side of the field. your goal in playing it might only be for the life you gain and/of the life that your opponent loses. if it is, so be it.

You'll need:
- an opponent.
Yep. The spell will do as much as it can.
If you have a creature card in your graveyard you must return it to your hand. If you don't, no big deal.
