The most brutal part of text is protection from colored spells.

[chrisd]

„Look at all this removal“ he says against a card having protection against colored spells^^

[benkonz]

"not to mention all this removal" -> lists all cards that don't work to remove it.

[fosterdawson]

I love how he included forerunners in there with creatures that are MUCH better than it

[_AhoyJakey]

"It can't be reanimated"
EDH players: "Hold my beer"

[skaven]

I like how your examples of creatures are half the mama cost, and your example of kill cards are all coloured.

[WookieRookie]

We: * Have got plenty of removal spells *
Emrakul: Protection says:

[HellxKnight]

Mana cost of 15? Hahaha hahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA . Just use Jodah and mana cost is relevant

[facepalmjesus]

Emrakuls's text is stupid!

it should be like ''When Emrakul enters the battlefield you win the game''

[robertharp]

"protection for colored spells" + "take another turn" stay banned Emerakul

[Beefjerkey]

Did you just use Etali as an excuse to unban Emrakul lmaoooo

[Openeyes]

The fact that it cant be countered and has protection from colored spells makes it 2 powerfull imo

[nubnub]

"Look at all this removal... yep still cant use it"

[TheFlamingDraco]

Why did you show targeted removal for a card with protection from coloured spells?

[vinwonsenobi]

"Can't be reanimated" stifles a laugh

[Thorinox]

Considering there is a ton of ways to cheap it into play and give it haste, 15/15 FLYING, it is protected from everything colored, annihilator 6, extra turn and bounces back into your deck IF it somehow dies. Yeah, that is beyond fun to play against and 90% of decks ran one even if they didn't need to. Oh you say let's use things like board wipes, that annihilator 6 most likely took away some of that mana, provided you even have a board wipe card in your hand or in the next two turns or a card that allows you to to give it enough -X/-X in time but it will still bounce back into the deck because you can't exile it because it has color protection.

[ОлегТрундаев]

A lot of removal? Did you checked text on a card? :D

[oscarchandler]

It's still pretty fucking OP... Annihilator 6, protection from colours! It makes Kozilek look like a teenager.

[GeekandGlory]

I think I saw someone play this in my Commander Pod last week. I didn't say anything and I don't think the table cared at the time because the guy was comboing off so hard it really didn't matter by the time hit the table.

[kyojitakenouchi]

Being colorless in a ramp heavy format means every deck will run her. The shuffle clause is a trigger so instant speed reanimation works on her. I think you missed the Protection from Colored Spells, meaning all the cheap removal you showed actually doesn't work. Not impossible to dealt with but it's too backbreaking once she shows up.

Keep her in the moon.
