About Whispers Of Emrakul, I have extensively tested an all in Jund DS delirium version with 2/3 Whispers in the MB to make them as much close to Hymn To Tourach as I could. It's not that good. Reasons? Most of the times, you want to be taking their spot removals and not depriving them of 2 random cards(not to mention that if they hit your yard the card is not even castable). Also, HtT is a great spell when you are casting it on turn 2 in Legacy, but here you can never cast in on turn 2. The condition that must be met for the card to be a Hymn is pretty much restrictive as well.
Yeah, I really can't see running Whispers in this deck, especially since the same slot could be filled with Rise // Fall, which can Hymn on Turn 2 (depending on what you saw in their hand turn one) and also has the versatility of returning a Shadow from your graveyard and a Snapcaster from the board.
