This is one of my favorite Commander decks. I played with this deck (before Scars came out, so not exactly this version) against Mark Gottlieb on the Pro Tour in Amsterdam I lost horribly because I got manascrewed So I put in one more Island since then (which I took out later again :p)
Aaaanyway, it's a blast to play. Nobody takes him serious, but he's not called Mr. Ultimate (well, almost...:p) for nothing! He hits hard when you can't block him and he gets a few boosts from other cards.
I have a foil Timeshifted Mistform Ultimus as my Commander, but I also had one altered
Not the greatest job in the world, but it was cheap and I like it
I've been playing this on lackey a bit and I absolutely love it. It really is fun.
Do you mind if I physically build one based off your list? I think Ultimus is my new favorite general (well after ghost council of course =p).

Of course I don't mind! Do copy it, play it, change it and let me know so I can learn from it
One tip: I have an Inundate incoming that's going in this deck

That'll be good inclusion. Also, after playing with it some more, I'm tempted to put some counters in here, some how. Ultimus has a huge target on his head once your opp knows what's going on. haha
haha Scion and mimic vat does sound very appealing.
Lightning Greaves is good, I forgot about that. I suppose it still does well without counters. =] I mean I haven't lost against Mayael yet. haha
This is super janky, and maybe not what you want to do (and I'm not sure if you can do it without green), but if you can animate Griffin Canyon, and change it's creature type to Griffin with one of your creature type changers, you can make it an Arbitrarily Large/Arbitrarily Large creature with which to beat someone to death. You can do similar tricks with Fatesticher or Tidewater Minion by changing their type to Griffin, or hacking the Canyon to their creature types.
That aside, this deck looks really fun. I might give it a go as a change of pace.

shifting sliver may be considered since it's makes your general unblockable.
I think that Deepchannel Mentor is better even though it costs more, it makes all your creatures unblockable. and Shifting Sliver won't help against opposing sliver decks
Heh, I forgot about the Mentor. Nice because he's also a Merfolk and I have more Merfolk boosts. I think I already added the Lens, but I'll check my deck. The Study is something to consider, although I don't really like playing against it (soooo irritating :)), so I might skip playing it myself

I think I'll add both, evasion is very important for this deck. Mr. Ultimust must connect!
I am really starting to like this deck. I was playing it on Workstation earlier today against a Kresh deck (I hope you don't mind :embarrass:).
I was ahead for awhile until he used Violent Ultimatum killing Ultimus and 2 Lands.
A few turns later i hard cast Higure, the Still Wind. I was able to make himself unblockable and managed to knock him down to one and was hoping to win with it the next turn until he got Cunning Sparkmage out with Grave Pact and was pinging his own Sparkmage to make me sac both of my creatures (he had to recurred it once) while being able to attack with his Kresh and Woodfall Primus.
So he was at 1 life, I was at 5 w/ 19 General Damage I had nothing on my field except lands, but was able to pull of the win it with my Blinkmoth Nexus (the land i played on turn three) that he somehow neglected with 3 activations of Woodfall Primus' ability and the Ultimatum. I was laughing so hard tears were starting to form.
It's a awesome deck. Here are some more things that might be good to add, Silent Arbiter - Can be really good, especially with Shifting Sliver Evacuation - Sometimes you just need a clear board, plus if u have extra mana you can recast some stuff Tidespout Tyrant - More board clearing Arcannis, the Omnipotent Awesome draw power. Diviner's Wand - More evasion and bonus pump, and you have quite a few wizards
and maybe Drake Umbra - Flying plus a some pump
EDIT: Are you playing with the list you have posted?

I agree, but what are the weakest cards that could be cut?
EDIT: Are you playing with the list you have posted?
Yes, I have this deck IRL and it's one of my favorites. Nobody expects to lose from Mistform Ultimus
Cards I would consider cutting: Imagecrafter - I have only used it to block and to draw off of Azami so I don't know if its really good with some of the others cards Mistform Mutant - Again I've only used it to block. It could be good but i haven't seen it be anything other than a blocker Brittle Effigy - It's a hit and miss card to me. I have had games where it was good and games where it was a dead card.
I know my explanation seems contradictory in regards to Assembly-Worker when i have suggested Diviner's Wand, but Diviner's Wand has more potential than Assembly-Worker will ever have.

Thanks for the compliment. I can assure you it's a fun deck to play. It's not too powerful, but certainly has the potential to win. The Griffin Canyon combo is fun, but unfortunately I think the only way to make a creature from the Canyon is Mishra's Groundbreaker or use Balduvian Conjurer/Balduvian Frostwaker + Arcum's Weathervane/Thermal Flux/Rimefeather Owl, but that's not for this deck

If you don't like Rhystic Study you can always go with Mind's Eye, Mystic Remora or Recurring Insight

Foresee - I would rather use Mystic Remora over this
Assembly-Worker - Temporary +1/+1 seems kinda meh to me.
Tin-Wing Chimera - I like Drake Umbra better as Eel Umbra's Totem Armor has been awesome for me.
Blade of the Bloodchief - Ultimus has yet to be blocked when I've had this equipped on him. Greaves or Warhammer could be better
Cards I would consider cutting:
Imagecrafter - I have only used it to block and to draw off of Azami so I don't know if its really good with some of the others cards
Mistform Mutant - Again I've only used it to block. It could be good but i haven't seen it be anything other than a blocker
Brittle Effigy - It's a hit and miss card to me. I have had games where it was good and games where it was a dead card.
