@TheZigs It works, because the ability goes in to the stack. Instant speed animation and its done.

Once we figure out how to get them on the same stratum (q.v. Emrakul at least normally has flying), a well-timed (as in probably flickered at the right moment) Veiled Sentry will be up to the task of striking this horror down...So at least that's one (somewhat) easy way to get Emrakul out of your hair.

Doesnt Ashen Rider still target? I could be wrong, since I'm just recently coming back to the game after a hiatus. Since Emrakul has protection from colored spells, you wouldn't be able to target him with the Rider's ability, I don't think.

As if we couldn't figure it out for ourselves, one of the syllables in his name is widely pronounced "cool."

Pitspawn+Viridian Longbow= really big middle finger.
Or does an ability count as a spell?

I don't really think it's THAT game changing for competitive play. With 15 mana, you can slam someone with an Urza's Rage or other huge burn spell to get near victory, and as for cheating him in, there's always going to be some ridiculous monster you can do that with, such as Progenitus or Blightsteel Colossus. All Emrakul is to me is just another way of doing things that have existed for a long time.

Emrakul should never have been printed, and not for why you think.
The problem with Emrakul is that it is so impossibly good, difficult to remove, and essentially ends the game after her first attack EVEN IF the opponent doesn't actually lose, that it supplants every other fatty creature a deck would ever want to cheat into play. Or hardcast, for what that's worth.
(Side note: The Flavor Guide says Emrakul has a female personality/character to her. Look it up, apparently the Eldrazi have gender identity)
Just think, even Worldspine Wurm isn't as good with Sneak Attack or Through the Breach even though it hits for just as much and then makes THREE 5/5s with trample when it dies (which Sneak Attack and Through the Breach can make use of). Griselbrand sees some play in decks with Show and Tell along with Sneak Attack, but that's more because he can draw SEVEN car... (see all)

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HE'S GOT PROTECTION FROM COLORED SPELLS?
It makes me want to vomit whenever I see someone talking about targeting Emrakul with something that can't target him because it's colored.

Since creatures' abilities don't count as spells, you can use Dark Imposter's ability, with possible mana ramp to get your mana by the time they get their Emrakul, (given that you kept the mana open), to exile Emrakul and gain his activated abilities. Or you can use Olivia Voldaren and kill your opponent with their own creature. Either are really fun to do.
