Sadly, the only colors that don't have a way of straight killing this without creatures (in standard) with a single card are red and green.
Blue: Clone (Doesn't target, you simply choose a creature)
White: O-ring (Doesn't target when its a spell, only when it becomes a permanent)
Black: Executioner's Capsule (Doesn't target until its a permanent)

Personally i like using something like Eternal Dominion to steal it right out of my opponents deck. It has a big downside...but hey, you get a free Emrakul, you probably don't NEED to play other cards. And the next turn i steal one of the other big eldrazi.

A Prison Term already on the battlefield enchanting another creature can target Emrakul when he enters the battlefield, because in that case Prison Term would be a permanent and not a spell.

Don't forget about Ashnod's Altar that you can use to make the eldrazi spawn sac for 2 colorless instead. Makes it so i only need 7 spawns and 1 land =P And with all the eldrazi spawn cards, getting 7 out shouldn't be too hard.

I could get him out for three mana... and get the extra turn.
Intet, the Dreamer is my EDH general, and I would love to have one of these to put in my deck, though I might go with Ulamog or Kozilek Just because they'd pull less agro.
Also, to deal with others running it... Bribery.

Why do so many insist that Emrakul is female? The only thing supporting this is the Zendikon religion of Ula, Cosi, and Emeria, and we saw just how accurate that was.
I don't like Emrakul having protection from colored spells from a flavor standpoint.
Black Mage: "I cast Doom Blade and rend the fabric of reality you occupy!" *squash*
Clumsy Esper Courier: "Oh no! I dropped my capsule of the cliff! OH GOD WHAT IS THAT IT FELL ON?!
Hey what's that purple smoke coming off the capsule?" There's a thundering crash as Emrakul hits the floor.

... I started hating this card when my opponent played this on turn 3.
PLAYED! ... This is also reason to hate Eldrazi Spawns...
