yeah, need to take a mortgage for this deck :)

any removal ability will work on him: o-ring, journey to nowhere, fiend hunter etc. But don't get me wrong - this is a cool deck. I had one like this once.
please read here if u dont believe me:http://www.mtgsalvation.com/1217-cranial-insertion-emrakul-can-be-oblivion-ringed.html Emrakul has protection from SPELLS. O-ring has an ABILITY :)Yes, you are right, every deck can be stalled by removal... but to this deck it will be 'game over' right away.
i played with a similiar strategy deck on modern FNM and lost. Reason - spellskite
This deck extremely vulnerable to Memoricide, Sadistic Sacrament, Cranial Extraction, Nevermore etc. But, just like all types of decks like this, when you search for a fatty and hope to finish the game in 2 turns... Emrakul can easily be exiled with O-Ring or Journey to nowhere....Thus - I suggest getting some counterspells in main
i see, good choice. Can you please comment on mine, i wanna take it to game day on 23rd: http://www.mtgvault.com/viking333yahooca/decks/selesnya-standard/
loxodon smiter is elephant-like human?
"cast domri rade"... - which you DON"T have???
Solid deck. pair the reckoner with pilgrim to give him lifelink. Then, play boros charm for undestructible effect. Lastly, hit reckoner with something (pillar or fury) and target reckoner himself for his ability AND VOILA: infinite life!p.s. - not my strategy, but very popular now
no mizzium mortars?
Why cavern of souls?
great deck, except that 'dark ritual' is not legal in most tournaments...
Replace guildgates with temple gardens - yes they are expensive but having good and fast mana base is crucial.
Very nice deck, however why karn or wurmcoil is a necessary win? Even on turn 4, they can very much be dealt with cheap spells like path to exile, dreadbore etc. my g/w deck can kill wurmcoil on turn 4 for example. Also very vulnerable to things like memoricide, sadistic sacrament or cranial extraction. But regardless, very powerful i like it!
Nice strategy! Although, if an opponent would have Spellskite by turn two....
Great deck, but i'm not sure how you create a 'wall' of BEAST tokens, as there's nothing here to exile and return thragtusk back to the game... Cloning thragtask will only boost you life.. I would also suggest some counter spells since this deck is very vulnerable to board sweepers...
I know, 13 gates is better than only 4 :)
Hey man! Thanks a lot for putting this deck out - its extremely powerful. I ended up creating something very similiar but for modern format...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the opponent drops 'rest in peace', that's pretty much game over for this deck. And 'rest in peace' is pretty popular in sideboards nowadays....
Its a good deck, however i'd recommend adding something big for the ultimate kill. Like wurmcoil engine for example. Then it would justify having diabolical tutor in this deck. Also, might wanna consider mass destroyer effects that can be achieved with Predatory Rampage for example.
