I’m a bit annoyed about the rules change with checking sideboards (it was my favorite lesser-known trick). Oh well, wizards does what wizards wants.

4x primeval titan
4x sakura tribe elder
1x Oldrakul
1x Newrakul
2x oracle of mul daya

4x through the breach
4x search for tomorrow
4x oath of nissa
3x lightning bolt
2x farseek
2x summoner’s pact
1x summoning trap (not sure if i use a 3rd summoner’s pact)
2x nahiri, the harbinger
1x anger of the gods

6x mountain
4x stomping ground
4x valakut
4x wooded foothills
3x forest
2x cinderglade
2x arid mesa
1x sacred foundry

I’m opened to suggestions to help make the deck better. With oath and the nahiri, i can drop Emmy’s cost to 7 at max and it isn’t rare that i have 8-9 mana on the field in the mid/late -game

I was also a bit skeptical about Emrakul when I first saw her, but the EV numbers were just very convincing. Can’t wait to see her in action more! As for Mono Blue Tron, I like the idea of bringing in 1-2 Coaxes into the main and rolling with Emrakul as a possible win condition. The Blue Tron graveyard is bigger than RG Tron’s, and the deck has TfK to add even more fuel. All of this could point to a more viable Blue Tron deck after EMN hits shelves.

It was a fun method! I can think of some ways to improve it in the future (for instance, players making different decisions knowing about Ulamog vs. Emrakul triggers), but I liked where it started.

With regard to the matchups, even if Emrakul is improving Ulamog’s rate in the GOOD matchups, that’s still a great datapoint. For instance, if Jund was 60/40 with Ulamog and 65/35 with Emrakul (without costing too many percentage points elsewhere), that’s a fine swap on the spot. It’s important to make sure Emrakul isn’t making good matchups worse, and that was the point of doing that particular mini-gauntlet. I’d expect those EV rates to basically hold steady in other matchups.

Good addition for players to know. Can’t wait until we get a judge call on camera for this sort of thing.

The problem that I have is gauntlet selection, Tron already wrecks Abzan CoCo and Jund and it isnt even close (baring them warping their SBs and even then …). I would have much rather seen you play against historically bad matchups like burn, scapeshift, or affinity (in addition to infect).

712.3. Only control of the player changes. All objects are controlled by their normal controllers. A player who’s being controlled during his or her turn is still the active player.

Also an incredibly relevant rule. Some might try to argue that you (emmy player) are controlling the Kommand. You are not.

Nope, and that’s a rule I didn’t know until now but one I expect all of Modern will learn after EMN is released.

So one cannot bolt his/her own planeswalkers?

Agree. That’s also something you might see in Jeskai, where you can easily see 4-5 card types in the yard in the late-game. I’d still bet on her in Tron before anything else, but Mardu or Jeskai could work too.

Good to know! I expect more people will become familiar with this rule in the future. It wouldn’t have affected the board state too much either way. Knowing this, I would have blocked and killed the Confidant (not the Goyf), +2’d the Lily to discard Command, and then Pulsed her with the open mana. I’m still very comfortable with that four-card swing.

You cannot redirect damage from your own spells to Planeswalkers you control.

306.7. If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the first player controls instead. This is a redirection effect (see rule 614.9) and is subject to the normal rules for ordering replacement effects (see rule 616). The opponent chooses whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied.
