Just ask yourself what happened to Jace... we got 7 versions of him alerady! Ya, so it's not a new Emrakul, as in a different entity named Emrakul... it's just a new card version of the same entity.
Prerelease for EMN is July 16-17. Eternal Masters is released June 10.
Regarding the new Emrakul, I watched the Magic Mics show last night and they said Emrakul might be a double transform card. How does that work? Remember B.F.M. from Unglued? It's a creature that requires 2 cards to be complete. Rumor has it that new Emrakul is going to be similar in the sense that are 2 artifacts (or a creature and an artifact or whatever combination of permanents) that can transform and on each of those cards' backs will be a half of the new Emrakul. That sounds crazy, but very Mark Rosewater-esque, knowing that MaRo designed B.F.M. in the first place. If that is the case, too bad Nahiri can't sneak new Emrakul with her ultimate... but we might see some special tutors for the two cards.
To support this rumor, the guys over at Magic Mics said that there were some test prints in Oath of the Gatewatch that had normal cards on one face and half of an Endbringer on the other side. Notice that the Endbringer has the template placeholder for the Day/Night icons http://imgur.com/a/mQc8R
