Wow, they actually banned Emrakul. Now he's totally worthless to me, ugh.
Guess it's fair, the Flying Spaghetti Monster was really stupid in all, way beyond the obnoxiousness of his/her/its two fellow Eldrazi Titans. Emmy was too polarizing in EDH/Commander.

I've played with Memnarch in EDH before, it takes TONS of mana to get going. As a general, it would be about the same.
Just ramp up hate against activated abilities, I guess.

for clarification, as I play an Emrakul deck with him as my general and it doesnt state it like it has with braids (banned as a general, not as an include) or kokusho (banned as both), is he banned both ways? because that would make me a very sad panda, as it is hands down the most fun EDH deck I've ever played, and it would lose a lot of it's ability to actually win a game if I had to change it to karn or one of the other titans.
So what's the deal with cards like Obelisk of Alara? It can only go in 5 color decks? Is this a change?

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
like the color Color Identity rules now you can win with bosh is the most broken of these Memnarch can be retarded general stealer
Rhys the Exiledis meh unless you need to use black in elves Thelon of Havenwood makes fungus decks as long as the don't want to use white or blue
Woot! I've been meaning to "joke" alter one of my Thelons to make her colorless symbol Black instead. But now I don't have too! Thallids are one of my favorite theme decks and I can't wait to build a Thallid deck for commander/EDH!
Actually pretty happy about this. I've taken Emrakul OUT of my EDHs because people hate on him so much.
I took him out voluntary for the same reasons, plus I hated getting hit by Bribery or getting him Gathered when I cast him. It's just as well, the card just made people angry. And frankly I'm also happy that I can reduce my blatantly anti-Emmy deck tech and fill it with better stuff.

At our store noone played with him. It wasn't an unspoken deal or anything, we just didn't play Emrakul. That being said, I recently played one game with a player new to our store who did have old Emmy in his deck and made the game really not fun. I 100% se why they banned him.
Also: Colour Identity makes a ton of sense. The previous rule a weird technicality that really didn't have any reason to exist, and this also opens up new design space for commanders.
Good stuff Sheldon et. al.

BANNED: Emrakul
RULES: 'Color Identity' i.e. Memnarch, Bosh, Thelon, Rhys, and Daughter of Autumn are now legal generals!
Memnarch decks are going to be so busted

Great news on the expanded general selection. I'm sure Memnarch is gonna be wicked.

Emrakul banned??? FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
ゆっくりしていってね!!!
Yes, only in 5-color. And no, it is not a change, it has always been that way.
Does this change allow us to run Memnarch & Bosh in Karn EDH decks? (I think 'no')
Does this change allow us to run Memnarch & Bosh as generals in & EDH decks? (I think 'yes')
I think I get it..nvm.
Not at all surprised Emrakul was banned. That card shouldn't have been printed in the first place. Period.

Interesting, because Progenitus cannot be played in Jhoira, it has colors that she doesn't have.
ops... I forgot this! I´m used to see it in T4 (now T1) decks.
Well, 2 more Legendary Eldrazi left.
