I have one of these. most powerful creature period, in my opinion. The only problem is that the deck I have built around him is slow enough that I can't defend myself when the other players get scared. Other than that great card.
By the way, my favorite combo with him is Argentum Armour.
If you don't mind losing the extra turn, cheat him out with quicksilver amulet.

It isn't the hardest card to kill but the major issue is that it gives it's controller that extra turn. That pretty much means you can't play creatures, enchantments, sorceries, etc. until after you have either taken 15 damage and/or sacrificed 6 pernaments. Obviously you have to keep Emrakul busy for that extra turn that he gets so Rathi Trapper and Royal Assassin work nicely together. Of course you'd have to have both of those creatures on the board before Emrakul hits but if you are playing an Elrazi deck it should be pretty obvious that some monstrous creatures are coming your way.

Sweeps, extract type cards and a lot of ghost flames are needed to kill him

Some people don't seem to understand "Protection From Colored Spells".
Protection from Colored spells means he cannot be the assigned target for a spell, not apermanent. One can Oblivion Ring him because it's already a permanent when ti chooses its target, while one can NOT Doom Blade him because it never becomes a permanent.

My friend and I were playing a game when he pulled out this card, I had out reaper from the abyss. We are wondering, because of annihilator 6 I had to sacrifice creatures, which as far as I know, still counts as dying. Reaper from the abyss morbid ability is that at the end step when a creature dies you can destroy target non demon creature. Does the classify as a noncoloured spell? Or will it not work because of Emrakuls protection? Things are getting so complicated my word
