Wait, so, If it a creature has a "When enters the battlefield/play: XYZ happens" this guy can activate it a second (ore more) times with his +2 ability?

Will Venser be able to use any of its ability during the opponent upkeep if I have a copy of Leyline of Anticipation in play? If yes, it can reach its ultimate even faster.

No, you can't get it with the emblem, because you still have to target it with the effect of the emblem. It doesn't matter if the emblem isn't a card, it's still an effect, which Progenitus can't be ganked by since you need to target it.
You can however, still get it with effects like Malfegor, Consuming Vapors, or Steel Hellkite, though 10 mana is just silly, And you could get it with Wraith effects.
Tl;Dr, No, Emblem won't get Progenitus.

Because of how hot this card is right now I was tempted to sell him. Then I realized Wizards made him two expansions too late. Check out the Alara block artifact creatures he works work so well with: Faerie Machanist, Sanctum Gargoyle, Sharuum the Hegemon, Sphinx Summoner, Magister Sphinx, and Filigree Angel. Its not from Alara, but this guy works well with Triskelion as well.

Nevermaker. Complete. Lockdown.
Knight-Captain of Eos. Prevent all combat damage on every one of your opponent's turns for 
and get an extra soldier token to boot if you want to prevent combat damage on your turn as well. Just gets better if you're running Elspeth Tirel in the same deck.

Let me know what you think as far as this combo goes...
Venser + Elspeth (knight-errant) for an indestructible/unblockable token deck. Use the same strategy you would for Elspeth Tirel to blink her and pump out tokens, get your army of 1/1s, pump elspeth all the way to get her emblem and finally use Venser's second ability to make them all unblockable for a one-shot win.
Load the deck with stall, extra token production, and maybe one or two fatties and it should be a winner.

He would work VERY well with the Blue and/or White Ally creatures from the Zendikar block... Which is currently still standard by the way... SWEET... :-D3

Turn 1: Halimar Depths
T2: Plains, Everflowing Chalice (1)
T3: Plains, Glimmerpoint Stag (exile halimar depths)
T4: Venser, the Sojourner, "blink" Glimmerpoint Stag (exile opponent's creature for opponent's entire turn)
T5: Glimmerpoint Stag (exile Glimmerpoint Stag), Venser-exile new Glimmerpoint Stag; both return to play at end of turn, and nerf 2 opposing creatures until end of their turn.
Rinse, repeat, win.
