I was thinking about infinite combos today and I wondered if there was a simple infinite with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn because of the extra turn. Provided that you have enough mana, could you just cast Emrakul and then bounce him using Crystal Shard? Then, once your mana untaps on your extra turn, replay Emrakul and go infinite. I haven't seen this combo mentioned elsewhere, which makes me wonder if it could actually work.
What's the point of bouncing (and needing more mana to do) when Emrakul practically ends the game when it attacks during the extra turn? You already have a 15/15 with protection to almost everything that threatens to blow up the opponent's board and that's not enough?
If you want infinite turns Mono U Tron does it with Mindslaver.
To answer to actual question, yes, it is possible to generate "infinite" extra turns this way, so long as you keep casting Emrakul. But as was said already, what's the point in locking up most/all of your mana during each of those turns when you can simply attack during the first extra turn to win the game?
Anyhow, the best I can come up with myself is a game in the top 8 of a PTQ back during Urza block in which we were starting game 3 with time already expired, so the tiebreaker rule was that whoever had more life after 3 turns would win. And I lost to... healing salve.

Yes it give you infinite turns. Legacy decks like 12post and Enchantress does this with Karakas instead
