Cast Emurakul then during your extra turn cast Bear Umbra and World at War. Not only are you getting Annihilator 18 which is alot more than you need AND swinging for lethal due to your opponent having nothing at all leaving him unable to block but Bear Umbra will keep untaping your lands leaving you plenty of mana for anything else you feel like.

If you cast Emrakul, and then find a way to lose, you're doing something wrong. These cards are more overkill than a combo.

If your goal was just to use bear umbra to untap lands, you could easily attach it to another creature and attack with that. I'm confused by everything else. Where'd Annihilator 18 come from? Why would you need to untap your lands to play other spells if you already are dealing lethal damage? If Emrakul was part of the combo, why wasn't he listed? I guess I don't get it.

 Okay you can scratch out Bear Umbra or cange Emurakul to Ulamog and as to why Emurakul isn't listed I've tried different spellings but it keeps saying that it's not in the database.

actually this works well - by having bear umbra untap your land twice, you effectively get triple mana available to you- this makes casting emrakul much easier. even though you cast him during your end phase, you still get an extra turn afterwards due to emrakul's ability.

i think this is a pretty tricky way to get out emrakul on turn 5

Emrakul is in the database, you just spelled him very wrong

If mana pools didn't empty after phases ended, then yes, Emrakul would be easy to summon on your fifth turn. But while Bear Umbra untaps your land, you can not tap all your land for mana, attack, and then use mana produced during your first main phase, because as soon as you entered the combat phase, the pools emptied. You would need something like Omnath, who allows green mana to retain in pools as phases change. My other suggestion for a turn five Emrakul?

T1: Forest, Llanowar Elves
T2: Mountain, Growth Spasm for another Mountain and Spawn
T3: Forest, Rampant Growth for another Mountain, and Brood Birthing for 3 Spawn
T4: Forest, Skittering Invasion for 5 Spawn
T5: Cast Emrakul, with a remainder of one Spawn.

Or, you could have won by now with goblins.

Ahhh thanks for the clarification - I just picked up magic again after about 5 years. its awesome to be back but a lot of subtle rules have changed. Clarify this for me - a lot of the combos posted here involve creating token and then tapping them that same phase.. dont tokens get summoning sickness?

It depends on HOW you're tapping the tokens. Let's say someone creates tokens, he or she could then tap those tokens as a payment for a spell, like convoke, or as payment for an ability, like Azami's. Unless they have haste, they can't attack with them though. I can't remember that many combos on this site personally that require the tapping of tokens as they are created except for Earthcraft combos, but since Earthcraft is banned in many formats, you probably won't even run into those scenarios to begin with.

Corrected Spelling of the card in the database:

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn


And have fun enchanting him. 

Now if I could only teach Draco to do this I'd feel like I did something!  lol

It's possible to enchant him. Use Sovereigns of Lost Alara

That being said, this is not a combo.
