Deck discussion for Jund

I'd say emrakul isn't necessary in the sideboard against millers.
First of all, copycats have managed to cripple mill into being much slower against aggro.
Especially by using field of ruin.

Lurrus mill is by far the most popular variant and so have moved ensnaring bridge to the sideboard.

If you play clean by using kroxa, ooze and wrenn and six you can keep your graveyard clean enough that your opponent can't cast
Visions of beyond. Also ooze protects you from surgical extraction if you time it by eating the target.

Mill is also exceptionally vulnerable against discard.

And I've recently wrote an article about how there is only a small group of millers capeable of winning with mill.
The majority of millers are too inexperienced at playing it. The odds of you encountering a good miller is so low that it isn't word the sideboard slot.

However, the day that good millers DO become more widespread, your best strategy is to play two different reshufflers.
Instead of emrakul, take a look at three reshufflers from lorwyn.
Dread, Hostility, and Vitality. Use the two you find most playable and your opponent will need to cast two surgical extraction to deal with the problem. All three are actually playable against other decks, so they won't be sideboard cards against mill alone.

I can also recommend that you search for the decktag: wdm 2018
Click on the deck named "mill data you wont like" and read through it to get a deeper understanding of what's holding mill back.

If you like to go through an even deeper analysis
Search for the decktag: wdm mill guide
To read up on specific cards in mill. I've left plenty of advice on how to beat mill in there ;)

As for the rest of the sideboard, when you encounter mill it will be a good idea to side in the two pillage, and try to take out black duals, because mill rely heavily on black both before and after sideboard.
Relic of progenitus is also superior to nihil spellbomb against mill.
And as mentioned, discard owns mill, so collective brutality will both eat their hand and take out hedron crabs.

The difference between Dread/Hostility vs Emrakul however is that Emrakul shuffles your entire graveyard into the library, not just himself. Additionally as we're only running one, we don't really care about surgical extraction because Emrakul's ability went on the stack and will resolve even if he gets exiled.

I'm well aware that emrakul manages to reshuffle everything, but that's not enough.
I've frankly forgotten how the lorwyn critters only reshuffle themselves because I've recently been trying to build with them as if they did.

I've tested many mill variants against a prison deck with two eldrazi reshufflers, because I know 1 isn't enough.
I've created several variants of that deck to improve it against mill decks because it's my testdeck to train my mill.
Search for the decktag: wdm prison
To see all of the various designs of it.

1 emrakul and 1 ulamog should do it, but I hardly think jund needs to fight mill at this stage. It will take a breakthrough by some random miller to make it widespread enough that the meta has to adapt. So far odds are that if you meet one of those 1.7% millplayers hes likely to be one of the inexperienced ones.
