Deck Description

This deck was featured in December by Jordan Short for Cardkingdom.

I've not seen it perform in any major tournaments. But just by playtesting it here, I can tell that it is a fast and fun deck.

How to Play

The deck sports three separate ways to put a fatty into play well before it’s fair. First off is the Goryo’s Vengeance plan. It uses Faithless Looting or Izzet Charm to dump one of the Elders into the yard and reanimates them at instant speed with Goryo’s Vengeance.

Ever since Deathrite Shaman got banned in Modern it is easier for graveyard based decks to gain a foothold. It is still very valuable to have an alternative win condition with Fist of Suns. The beauty of casting Emrakul off of a Fist of Suns is that you are actually casting it. The extra turn with an Emrakul in play is pretty much game over.

Finally the deck plays a set of Through the Breaches, which has a tendency to cause opponents to scoop up all of their permanents.

The deck has three win-conditions:

1) Discard Emrakul/Griselbrand with Izzet Charm/Faithless Looting, and reanimate them with Goryo's Vengeance. Goryo can even Reanimate Emrakul, as it can target Emrakul before it's ability in graveyard resolves
2) Use Trough the Breach to get an Emrakul/Griselbrand with haste on the table.
3) Hardcast Emrakul/Griselbrand with Fist of Suns.

It is actually very sweet. A hard cast Emrakul can't be counter spelled and will trigger the extra turn ability, which in most cases means that you win the game.

The challenge with the deck is that it is very vulnerable for hand disruption. Thoughtseize can ruin your day very badly.
