hi.
sooo emrakul got revealed in the access magic, are you happy with that?
i hoped for a new emrakul being playable but old one still is better so meh
So many options, text, I mean, that casting cost can be lowered via delirium and good deck building. Also, controlling anothee players turn and using their cards against themselves sounds pretty OP. I mean you have a 13/13 pro instant removal Eldrazi.
Nahiri, and this? Nahiri and tutor me The 3 titans?? WHAT. I can see it now, you ramp opponents goes, World Breaker , trigger return wrath. Drop Ulamog, eat your Gideon. Cast Kozilek, draw cards, counter everything. Cast Emrakul, GG, I will make it my goal to have all 3 titans out on an opponent this standard and will take a picture of the board state and snap a pic of my opponents reaction!

Emrakul even gets Nicol Bolas horns. Kinda displeased with Emrakul. The card will take some evaluating to see if it is good or not in Standard, but Emrakul herself is a big sad face for me.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
Looks like my 13/13 for 13guess was accurate. I was off on a couple of other things. Her Trample is nice. I'm a bit underwhelmed but glad to see her back. Time to put some thought into how to make her perform optimally.

I am dissapointed about this. It would be so much better if the opponent didn't get an extra turn.
That's what I thought at first, but perhaps the challenge is to ruin your opponent so hard on the controlled turn that the extra turn won't matter. Some interactive decks like Jund and Junk in Modern can be totally ruined when you point their spells and effects at themselves. Such as attacking with utility creatures that'll definitely die when you block them. The extra turn would probably be spent scrambling to put their game plan back together, at best.

Well its pretty clear that you want to mill yourself and get the fat mom out for 5 mana quickly (and then bounce it with karakas over and over again if necessary).

The entire "mission" of the mindslaver effect would be to suicide the best creature into the brick wall and remove all the removal spells that could threaten Emrakul.
Then you need just 2 hits (or just 1 with more creatures) and its over.

Its not like they have a lot of game left after you cast this. They either have something or they are just dead.
Am i wrong in seeing this as a tron u or gr card I mean could be turned 6 with this and with tron the board state could be so overwhelming that this into free turn should be game over. U tron I think would like this more

A 13/13 for 9 with Flying, Trample, protection from Instants and Mindslaver on casting isn't playable?
After my initial reaction [man, do I Love that art! EM is towering over a settlement!], I think we are underestimating the control of the opponent's turn. And the fact that EM can come down at a discount. G/R ramp decks already have sorcery, artifact, planeswalker, and enchantments, and can easily include more instants and ways to get lands into the 'yard. All ramp needs is that breathing room, which EM will get us to screw with the opps board and use up any relevant spells, leaving them in top-deck mode for their extra turn.
depending on how quickly you can get those card-types in your graveyard, her effect is powerful enough to wreck face across multiple formats. controlling your opponent's turn will be GG even if they get another turn afterwards (especially considering you have a hard-to-remove 13/13 on the board as well).
nice. not OG emmy levels of power, but then for a lower mana cost i'm happy with that. Tron might make use of this card.

Yea, she can cost very little mana for her strength.
S'all right. Obviously nothing like the game-ending, earth-shattering card that was the Aeons Torn, but that's a pretty high bar to set for future cards.
I was a little disappointed with the "opponent takes an extra turn after this one" effect, but I think they wanted to have some way for the opponent to come back from your casting this card, especially when it's very likely that it will rarely, if ever, get cast for 13 (9 or 10 is more likely)

I know people are just gonna wait to see how the top players break it in order to copy the strategies for it.
Honestly, it's be tough to get rid of. It's a 13/13 with some nice evasion (flying + trample). Also, protection from instants means that opponents can't kill it before you control their next turn. If an opponent doesn't top deck a response in their extra turn they're as good as fried. I can easily see ramp players get this out well into turn 4-5 when an opponent still hasn't had a solid board set up. And if they did, you'd miss their land drop on their turn and turn their creatures sideways to die to your stuff.
It's not an incredibly broken card but it's not underwhelming. Also, as someone previously pointed out, this + Karakas will be pretty broken in extended. Just add Ugin's Nexus and be done with it.

It's funny to realize that ugin's nexus rotated before EM came out. Not the most broken or powerful interactions, but still
About the only thing that can deal with it before when it hits the battlefield is Clip Wings because it doesn't target Emy, but the player controlling Emy, unless you counter it (would pro-instants prevent countering? I don't think so, though would love input)
