Emrakul? Really? YOINK!

Now that this stupid Eldrazi set is out, I have found that many of my FNM playing friends went to the pre-release and picked up all the annihilator creatures there is, maybe even two of Emrakul. Now me, I am more of a relaxed, buy cards from them because I want to play person.

So I did some searching and I stumbled upon this one.

Mycosynth Lattice
I thought to myself, how can I make a control deck using this card because counters, mind control's and exile cards are all colorless now.

I usually go for decks that are completely absurd. Like a sacrifice goblin into Caller of the Claw deck, or an all giant deck, things of that sort.
However, the point is I want to make a control deck, that relies on Mycos so that when they use that card that allows you to place all permanents from your hand into play in a round robin sort of fashion, I can exile it right after, or Mind control it. And use it against them. Destroying their permanents! MUAHAHAHA!

Help is definitely needed for this one.
Oh Whitey_mcfly, Oh Whitey_mcfly where art thou? (You seem to be the one with far fetched ideas like this. I needeth your expertise lol)

Gather Specimens works on emrakul even without Mycosynth Lattice in play because since it doesn't have protection as long as it's still on the stack and gather specimens doesn't counter it, it makes it come into play under your control rather than an opponent's

Or you can just use Oblivion Ring and Journey to Nowhere as removal. They both can remove Emrakul since the removal part of the spell is actually a triggered ability, not a spell.

You see, but my thing is a WTF deck. You know, they may expect you to play that, and I know their decks and they are waiting for me to use something like that. So I would use an exile first, they would obv cancel it, then I would mind control it and laugh at them.

Like in the main post. I don't play decks that are the usual. I enjoy, and so do my friends, the fact that my decks make them think, a goblin deck that I can have 80 1/1 bears with Overrun and then a green card that lets me do it over and over and over again? They go to tourneys expecting the worst, and because of my decks, they have cards that are excellent for facing anything that is thrown their way.
They have their own mind control decks where they just completely dominate everything without a single cancel, all just trade creatures with you, and then take back the one they traded.
