Besides the dreadnoughts you only have 7 fatties to cheat in, with 10 enablers. Blightsteel is also very susceptible to StP & its ilk. I'ts really only good with Sneak Attack. I would look at Progenitus, its surprising how often this cards is better than Emrakul. You probably also want protection via Force of Will which you mentioned, I just wouldn't run this style of deck without it. Probably cut the libraries, trickbinds for 4 FoW. As always testing will tell what numbers you want.
Just my 2 cents
So my original thought was to have Progenitus instead of Blightsteel Colossus, but i need a creature with atleast 10 power who ISNT Legendary, cuz otherwise you are looking at best case scenario getting 2 BIG guys out with Eureka, which then doesnt become that big of an advantage over sneak attack or Natural Order. I need most of the big creatures to be non legendary that way when 2 show up in my hand, its not a big deal. I already have Legendary creatures with the Emrakuls cuz its hard not to put them in with show and tell, but i just cant figure out a better creature to use than Blightsteel Colossus just for the sake that it is not legendary. So can you think of a better creature to have that isnt legendary or do i maybe just have a bunch of 1 of legendary creatures in the deck that way my hand never has 2 Legendaries unless its 2 Emrukals. Or do i just stick with the Blightsteel you think?
Also I think you are right with having 4 Dreadnought and 4 Mosswort Bridge, but it is hard to pull the trickbinds out. I think I would almost like to have 2 Trickbind/2 Stifle rather than no trickbind just because they are such an element of surprise when someone is just waiting to counter the stifle so i have to waste 2 cards, then BAM! there is that undervalued trickbind showing you just how valueable its worth.
Thanks again for the input thought, i will defintely consider it all and any more ideas or help you have or anyone has would be greatly appreciated
I also noticed the reference to the deck on the magic show. think i'll take this deck out for a spin tomorrow. i'll let you guys know about updates after the tourney!

Took this deck for a spin yesterday and it definitely has a lot of game. Went 3-1 playing; Deadguy Ale, BUG Threshold, Goblins, & Zoo. The only game I lost was to BUG Thresh. Discard + counters + Edict + Stifle makes this a rough match up. Thinking about cutting a threat and maybe a grip for a 2x Autumn's Veil in the board. This may help against heavy control decks. Unfortunetly I do not have as much time to test as I would like, but this deck still has lots of game against the field, especially the unprepared opponent.
Check out the front page for updates!

Ahem. That was my reaction when you called this deck 'hogworts' on scg's the magic show. Great stuff man, how did you do in the tourney? I took this deck to gp london and finished just outside the money. I've made a bunch of changes to this deck, and I'll post my list as soon as I am at a computer rathe than my phone. The mosswort bridge/stifle/show and tell package is really interesting, I definately want to explore that although your mana base is different from mine for sure.
In the mean time I thought I'd brainstormy way through some of the most troublesome things I've encountered- wasteland, gaddock teeg and most significantly karakas. I now considering pithing needle as a viable answer to the land. Any thoughts on good cards against those threats?
Btw fattie wise I'm running 4 emrakul and 4 progenitus main, with 2 terastodon and 2 stormtide leviathan. From the nph release I want to also run 2 gin taxis dude in the side. More info later!
Sorry it took so long for me to respond, i have kinda been busy lately and didnt realize people were talking about this deck. Yes that was me on the magic show and hopefully the name can catch on so this deck has a real name besides Show and Tell/Eureka So i went 3-3 with the deck, was doing good at the beginning, i beat High Tide and Aggro elves, but combo elves was just too quick and beat me 2-0. Then i beat a homebrew black red hand and land destruction, then lost to Junk 2-1, then I cant remember the last one I played, but lost that too! it had tarmogoyf, thats all i remember. The deck overall was ok, Personal tutor was nice, most people dreaded seeing it. Lim Duls Vault was always a great card to get, the only bad thing is you dont get to draw the first card til the next turn, so having something like a cantrip or sylvan library out was good to get the cards you needed quicker. But honestly the worst part was the Eureka! The other player having the ability to play everything they want even after you are done hurts, but its not the end of things. the end of things is that they get the opportunity to attack first, so if they are and type of tribe deck, you are screwed. Merfolk, Goblins, Elves, all bad to use Eureka!
So what i did was try and switch to sneak attack, gotta say though, im not a fan of that either. I tried leaving the dreanoughts and just having Emrakuls and Kozilek the butcher ( because he is a 12/12, so if i use sneak attack to get him in, after he attacks i can sack him to dreadnought) along with some flings for the dreadnought, and that didnt seem to work. So now i am going to try and just do a show and tell/ dreadnought deck for the SCG Louisville, ill see if that works. If im unhappy with that, i will probably go back to Hogworts!
Hope people are still trying to innovate with this deck, i think it could be really good with some minor adjustments and maybe a major one or two
Also you need Pithing Needle, i was saved a few games with that, i played it and got it through on a candelabra of tawnos. I think that would help for Karakas. Stifle or trickbind for wasteland. Gaddock Teeg is a pain, but the show and tell still works, so you just have to try and counter it when i comes out, or you are going to just have to forget about the Eureka play.
Also just thought i would mention that Arcane Laboratory is a great sideboard card for this deck, because in legacy most decks are playing multiple things in a turn, where this deck mainly plays a card a turn, especially after the first turn or 2. Had the same High Tide deck lose to me because he was so worried about arcane laboratory that he used his counterspells on them and i was able to play a show and tell for emrakul the next turn!
As long as it's okay with you. I will go ahead and change the name to Hogwarts. Even though it's a bit cheesy I think it is a pretty good fit for the deck. I'm going to go ahead and change it, if there is a problem please let me know.
I'll plan on getting a primer up one I get more feedback from the community and get some real testing done. If you play against the same guys every week this deck is easy to hate out. Thus I only bring it for a spin once every couple of months.

Chancellor of the Tangle speeds this deck up some, allowing it to go off turn 1 without the need of multiple Spirit Guides. Plus, he himself is a formidable fatty, which is great for Hypergenesis. I played around with the idea of putting in Chancellor of the Annex as well, as a way to counter more t1 FoW/Daze plays. Jin-Gitaxias seems boss as it allows you to essentially mulligan while disrupting your opponent. And it's blue for FoW. SnT is in for obvious reasons; to pitch to FoW and to cheat it a t1 fattie.
Other cards on my radar:
Urabrask the Hidden (with some other dragons/fat to ensure that you swing for 20 hasty damage without them being able to block. Just think: hasted Emrakul? OUCH. Probably win more at that point, but still.)
Chancellor of the Annex (mentioned above)
Decree of Silence (as a way to protect your investment)
Iona, Shield of Emeria (obvious reasons)
Any other blue fatties like Empyrial Archangel, Magister Sphinx, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Inkwell Leviathan, etc.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I apologize if this is in the wrong place; I figured it was similar enough to what everyone is working on in this thread. Thanks!
Discussion of Eureka/SnT/Bridge will be through this thread. It was brought to my attention there was a duplicate (same deck) floating in development. This has been taken care of. This "bump" post is not considered spam, since it was addressing the aforementioned issue.
For future reference, be aware of double-posts. Thanks and good luck playing.

It's rather sad that I'm forced by moderators to post in a useless thread like this. This deck is as much the same deck as the rock is just one deck, oh wait, it isn't. To explain further, I've created the thread about the Aeon Bridge deck including
Eureka, definitely not being Eureka.
The first moderater closed the thread, i sent this person a message asking reconsidering re-opening the thread. The thread was re-opened under the condition that I would explain the differences between this thread and my list. I did and the title got changed. I took the time to form my thoughts carefully and I'm really, really confused how my deck gets confused for the show and tell/eureka deck being discussed here. So the thread got closed AGAIN.
If even the most active moderators make these huge errors it might be time for me to move on to a more serious forum with more knowledgable members and moderators
Look at my posts, I do my best to follow the rules, promote the format, help new players, innovate and share my experiences and opinions. I've put hours of work into building the deck, testing it, and writing about it here..
And now this again? I'll probably get suspended or something but using PMs didn't help, so I'll put it out in the open, I don't know what else to do, if I ask it to be opened a third moderator will just close it again.
I'm really, really disappointed in this chain of events as I've invested a good amount of time and this is comparable with writing a book and someone redirects you to a completely different book, but same genre. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Legacy has four mods, two of whom are new. Everyone is still getting on the same page. You obviously did not contact all four of us with your problem, seeing how I have no message from you, which likely resulted in you getting mixed signals.
Thank you for your contributions. I ask for a little more patience (as well as you going to a helpdesk or PMs instead of bringing drama into a thread).

I suppose I understand you being angry, but I want to let you know that the purpose of this thread is to develop the deck not differentiate between a few card choices. Granted these card choices can steer said deck in a very different direction. I would just like to point out that my list on the cover page is by no way the optimal list, it is merely my take. If you have read through the thread (and watched the magic show where one of the posters popularized this deck and created the name) it becomes very evident that most players started using Mosswart Bridge and it became apparent that a hybrid deck between these two archetypes might become the general direction for the deck.
Please understand that I was in no way trying to make you upset I was just trying to get more discussion generated in one thread so we could come up with a primer as a community, and see what the optimal build is for a Eureka based deck is.

Been testing with Karn over Bolas. While I feel Bolas has a more immediate effect on the game, the value one can get by exiling their "extra" Emrakul is just dripping off of Karn. There are surprisingly a number of ways to deal with Emrakul in Legacy. This includes Jace tMS which is seeing play everywhere. So think about removing your extra Emrakul w/ Karn, next turn exiling Jace. Two turns from now you restart the game with Jace & Emrakul in play. Obv this is win more, but I mean, c'mon it just seems so much fun.
While most people have moved towards the bridge combo for this deck, I still like having the ability to tutor for specific bullets. My concerns with the bridge builds builds are 1) Misstep counters Dreadnought Pretty well. 2) Stifle is not as prevalent as it was two months ago, but still quite popular. 3) umm Wasteland?
I would love to hear from anyone who has been messing around with a similar build.

Dropping Jin + Possessed Portal round two is dreadful for any opponent. Spine of Ish Sah simply adds recursion for a longer battle. Angel of Despair is unnecessary. Dropping Ish Sah three times is better in this build.
Without the Ponders or Brainstorms I found that Dispel is superior to FoW due to lack of blues.
With this build one can often drop a turn two fatty + either Possessed Portal or Decree and time is thus solely in your favor. The entire engine can recur play via Jin. I used to run Lightning Greaves just to put Emrakul on skates but I found that it typically is not necessary and so opted for a little more defense. Suggestions welcome...

“Sensitiveness is closely allied to egotism; and excessive sensibility is only another name for morbid self-consciousness. The cure for tender sensibilities is to make more of our objects and less of our selves.”
So I know this thread has been dead for a little bit. Yet, I believe this list has some promise, and decided to build a version of my own to help along with the development. The only reason I feel this deck may not be established is because of the cost of Eurekas. The cost prevents people from testing it out on paper, which does not allow us to get enough feedback on the viability of the list. I believe this "Hogworts" list makes our mirror matches better, helps get through Death and Taxes which is a pain for regular Show and Tell decks, and is a smoother version than the U/R Omnitell decks. The U/R decks playing 3 Sneak Attack, 3 Omniscience, 3 Griselbrand, and 3 Emrakrul may just be a less consistent version of regular Show and Tell (4, 0, 4, 4) to simply get around an already miserable match up (Death and Taxes).
I also believe this list may be "better" than the regular Show & Tell list simply because Death and Taxes may show up a little more now that there have been new cards printed making the deck better, especially since D&T is a good match up against the already popular Miracles deck. Miracles can still be a tough matchup for this deck, but not impossible.
My list is heavily based on Joseph Herrera's and Iwasaki Kouichci's whom both top 4'd the SCG Premier IQ Indianapois and Known Magicians Clan 56th respectively.
One note, I would play with 4 Misty Rainforests if I had the other two. But I am also playing without any basic forest right now, which may change in the future. I will also add one more Emrakrul for the Inferno Titan when it comes back to me from a friend.
So my original thought was to have Progenitus instead of Blightsteel Colossus, but i need a creature with atleast 10 power who ISNT Legendary, cuz otherwise you are looking at best case scenario getting 2 BIG guys out with Eureka, which then doesnt become that big of an advantage over sneak attack or Natural Order.

The deck is not the ideal build for Eureka Show, but probably the fastest. Chancellor makes it happen.
The deck can safely mull to 5, but gets owned by any countermagic orThoughtseize.
And makes Magic play like Poker. As in your opening hand is all that matters. From there you either flat out win, or flat out lose.
Goldfishing results in EXTREME BOMB 60% of the time, but actual playtesting varies (Serum Powder for MVP).
