the thing I dislike more is the set symbol... it's clunky to have emrakul herself a a set symbol

I really like the artwork And similar to Ulamog and Kozilek, Emrakul seems to be weaker than her original version but in some ways fairer and more interesting. And to play it for 8 would be insane. I don't know about constructed, but it is certainly a fun card in my opinion.
Edit: And of course Nahiri works pretty well with this version, as predicted^^
It's just so boring is my problem with it. You hype up and build up to this big dark secret culminating in what could only be described as a wet fart of a card.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
This is such a neat design. I love that it ends up having 'delirium', fitting for the source of Innistrad's madness. This is a great payoff for building your deck around delirium, as casting this for 8 or 9 is huge. Getting to Mindslaver an opponent and just wreck their hand and board state as much as possible, running their creatures into a 13/13 monstrosity. And the protection from instants is genius design, since Emrakul is safe from your opponent's removal when you cast it, and then you get to take your opponent's turn and use all their sorcery-speed removal on other things.
Is it me, or has she actually grown in the art? Yet she somehow lost 2 points of P/T...

The first line of text has the potential to be abused... but other than that its a rather vanilla 13/13. It only has protection from instants, so you can just like... ruinous path it? LOL
Thanks, Marquisd
Emrakul the promised End

Not quite the "instant win" I think people were expecting, but pretty darn close.

And that art is just fantastic. Bravo, Wizards.

And I thought they said Affinity was bah-roken
Otherwise I've never liked these player controls effect.
So we'll be back again to Eldrazi cards with Scions etc? We just left Zendikar
What the hell did everyone want from Wizards? You guys are so damn spoiled.
My signature was created by Zaphod of High~Light Studios. He's brilliant.
A slightly worse Mindslaver that comes with a giant 13/13 trampling, flying, protection from instants monstrosity is cool too.
It still can be Emrakul's tribal spells, but it seems too optimistic.
