okay...you need ashnod in play as well as paleoloth and have myr retrievers that you can sac to get each other back out.  The helm reduces casting cost to allow you to gain infinite mana from casting a loop of retrievers.  Put this in a deck with 4 emrakuls so that you can get a second turn..play the next one with your infinite mana on the next turn to allow another turn, legend rule kills them both and then paleoloth puts them back in your hand, rinse repeat for infinite turns.

It wouldn't work, when Emrakul enters play it triggers Paleoloth. Then both die on state base which is placed above Paleoloth.

But since Emrakul other effect when ever it is place into the graveyard from anywhere you shuffle everything into your graveyard back into your deck. Thus stacking on top, so trigger would follow as:

Emrakul shuffled back into deck with graveyard

then paleoloth fizzles with nothing in your graveyard.

Take out Paleoth and add



 

Use the method you were using to create infinite colourless mana. Cast mr torn tehn bounce him back to hand with shard. Sack the myr and retrieve the myr again to have another run of infinite mana, and the scorpion untaps the shard. Repeat until you are satisfied withy the number of turns you have waiting for you.

Now only colourless mana is needed for any of the combo so it opens it up a bit, and you'd only need one Emrakul in your hand

This should work, but there are way easier ways to do this.

Here's what we'll do...
We do the infinite mana combo with the two myr retrivers...
Then, cast Cloudstone Curio then proceed with the Emrakul playing and bouncing...

Would it work though? Which ability would go on the stack first?

unfortunately it has to be another permanent, and if the other permanent was another mr torn they'd both have to be sacced when the second hits play.

This is getting too technical. I'll leave Zark to determine it.

Ok turbine, I'm not Zark but Ill answer because i feel like it

Emrukel and cloudstone in play

cast emrukel, you gain an extra turn, emrukel then comes into play, triggering curio, SBE's are checked killing both emrukels, at that point curio resolves allowing you to bounce a creature. 

however, this doesn't need 2 emrukels to work it only needs 1.  you gain infinite mana through the myr combo, cast the emrukel, gain the turn,emrukel comes into play, bounce a myr.  then play a myr, curio triggers and since they are the same type (creature) you return the emrukel to your hand, repeat

Was it necessary to say, "because I feel like it"? (^_^)

what if I simply put a vedalken orrery in play...then I could play and sac myr retrievers as instants and I could retrieve my emrakul in response to him hitting the graveyard before his ability triggers and run infinite mana to play another emrakul out of my hand.

Although, I could simplify the whole process by putting out rocket launcher and kill everyone with my infinite mana.  Either way is fun, I'm just building a colorless deck to annoy some of my friends :)
