Build a Canadian emrakul as well :)

I've tried RW builds and have never been satisfied with them. So, sadly it looks like Emrakul is going to stay in the USA!

I assume this is a semi-budget Legacy, or casual build, correct?

Right now the build looks too busy. You've got three different themes going: 1- nihiri into emrakul, 2- isochron burn, 3- midrange critter damage. By having three themes at once, you cut down on the effectiveness of all of them.

My advice is to trim one, probably the critters (as I assume you want to still go for emrakul), which lets you run more control and tactical advantage cards.

I would cut mantis rider and lightning angel entirely (6 spots freed up), cut fire/ice to 2 (8 spots), and nahiri down to 2 (9 spots).

This gives you room for the AWESOME cards legacy/casual allows. I would swap in the following:

4- brainstorm
2- ponder
1- terminus
2- negate

That streamlines the deck and lets you do what you want to do faster and more efficiently. Under this build, you still have 3 primary win conditions (nihiri into emrakul, isochron burn, mentor swarm), and all the rest of the deck does is either control or rearrange the hand to get what you need.

I also always opt for fetch lands if possible. Flooded strand goes for $20-ish. If the budget allows, I would run 4 flooded strand and the arid mesa (or up to 3 total mesas), which thins the deck and fixes early mana problems.

Just my thoughts

Thanks for all your suggestions! Your comment on fetchlands is spot on. I certainly plan to continue to evolve it as I acquire more fetches. Streamlining is also something I've given serious thought to, though as more of a multiplayer deck, I don't mind it being a bit busy. But only time will tell and it may look more like how you described in the future!
