One advice: activate it before you play a land, so you can still play a land in case you draw one with this card.

I've actually taken this out of my casual decks; my friends were not enjoying playing against it at all. They don't mind Emrakul too much if I pay 15 mana (Exsanguinate would genarally be stronger at this cmc in multiplayer) but for 5 mana they have a right to feel cheated. Still, it is an awesome card.
LeoKula: you're right it was Kai Budde, although I think he just played the deck, he didn't build it if I remember correctly.

@hid@n, AwesomeEevee: This does not trigger "cast from hand" abilities like the Myojins', because you didn't cast it from your hand (note that the Oracle rules text does not include this phrase). See ruling on Yawgmoth's Will.

This is probably my favourite Magic card ever. Every time I build a fun deck that's controllish, one of these goes in there. There's nothing quite like shuffling the deck, offering it to the opponent and waiting for the served card which you can play for free. Remember - save your land drop before you tap those 5 mana. Combine Aperture with Voltaic Key and cards like Thran Dynamo for more fun. Wait there, wasn't there a German player once who did just that?

I swear whenever I drop this in paper a certain buddy of mine groans, because I can be the luckiest bastard alive sometimes.
"Emrakul? really? again?"

@Talon06
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but since this card allows you to cast the revealed card 'as though it were in your hand', wouldn't the myojin cards come into play with the divinity counter?
This got moved from 4.5 stars to 4 stars for forcing you to shuffle your library beforehand. Of course that's to control this artifact's power, but I'm not fond enough of this card to build a deck around it nor push my luck. Still a good card, though.
