This is fun to use in an elf mana accel deck with plenty of "tap for mana" cards, and Omnath, Locus of Mana. And Chord of Calling.

Just for those who can't quite figure it out: Protection from colored spells =/= Protection from all colors. Creatures are not spells when they're in play, they're permanents. Activated, triggered, and static abilities are not spells. Artifacts in play are not spells. However, I don't think he can be targeted by "comes into play" triggered abilities of creatures because you choose the target when the creature is still a spell. I could be wrong on that one though.

If you play tidehollow sculler it's ability is to look at opponents hand and remove that card from game...... just have multiples... wait to see their bad pokerface and take it from them before it hits the field.

Emerakul's ability is a triggered affect that goes onto a stack. Since the ability triggers, then targets the graveyard of Emarkul's owner, you can still stack on it. Remove the graveyard before the triggered affect resolves, and poof.
Remember, Emrakul isn't like Darksteel or Progenitus. It HAS to go to the graveyard before it's affect activates. Hence the triggered, not passive ability.

@ultratog1028: It is banned because it is hard to remove (most removal is Swords/Pongify/Bant Charm and the like, that is, they are spells that target) and can kill a whole board. Oblivion Ring and Journey to Nowhere are the only cards that see play that can really deal with it. People do not play it AS THEIR GENERAL. People use tricks to get it on the board (Jhoria, Braids, Defense of the Heart, Oath of Druids, Tooth and Nail, et cetera). I personally feel the Pacts should be banned as well, but that is just me. Hive Mind could be banned, however, the card is fun anyway, so long as people are not an ass and play a Pact or Final Fortune along with it.

Kumano, Master Yamabushi + anything that can do 14 damage = win
and remember Kumano says if it would die, not if it would be sent to the graveyard.
Edit:@TheChurchIsHere
Wrong, it says colored spells, not abilities and even though your second point is correct emrakul's ability says "when" he is put into the graveyard, and kumano's says "if it would be"
Don't hate on Kumano

And that is all she wRoTE.
Pardon the pun.
This card is utterly insane, the artwork amazing, the stats unbelievable...
and the faceplams when someone manages to cheat him out with Elvish Piper...
All out of this world

I would agree with some people here, CMC doesn't necessarily draw back a card. There are so many ways to play him for free.. He could cost 1,000,000 mana.. he'd still be broken, OP, retardedly powerful, however you want to say it because ultimately he's going to probably be played for free, or at the very least, very little mana. Why is this not a 5/5?
I despise this card with a blind passion of a thousand stars.. but I can still afford the respect of giving this rediculously overpowered card a 5/5. ^ - ^'

Oh my God, this is just ridiculous... I mean, a plain 15/15 should cost around 13 or more, right? Add a Time Warp (5 CMC), flying (around 1 more), protection from colored spells (another 2 or so?), and Annihilator 6 (Another 4 or so, in my opinion) and you get 25 CMC. This is 10 less mana than that.
5/5
