Yeah... the problem with emrakul is that it's not going to have an impact the turn it comes into play letting the opponent the chance to react... I was looking forward to play a UG shell and i'm kind of unsure about it.
Here are my thought :
1. Leyline of Abundance shell seems to highly benefit of that kind of strategy since you don't rely too much on a basic forest like in a sprawl shell. The downside is that we must play cards like gilded goose in the current meta...
2. I'm not certain that relying on symbiosis to win with cards like emrakul are a good thing. Emrakul don't win on the spot and tooth/nail build just seems better actualy in that optic. Symbiosis don't add anything good to that list. The only upside I see to play Emrakul is to counter the rampant mill deck!
3. I think that simply fetch an eternal witness sounds like a great plan later in the game making Command a good card. So... a control shell seems to be interesting.
4. Playing with LoA in a control shell seems to be crying for the addition of Viven and/or Karn to get card advantage. I'm mostly in the favor of Vivien since she can do some shenanigans with Devoted Druid and help a lot with the devotion part of the plan.
Honestly it make like 5 days i'm thinking about the right way to include it and i'm still not certain on what to do.
This is kind of strange. So what happen exactly when you see it with courser? I know that the new bencher deck seems to be able to exist because of the fact these cards aren't land. I will check the ruling...
Honestly these cards are completely broken! It will allow us to get down to like 15 or 16 lands without a problem and we will still be able to go wide late game.
