Emrakul is a 15/15 that can't be countered with flying, first strike, vigilance, trample, haste, protection from red, protection from black, protection from colored colored spells, and annihilator 6. Also, when you cast it, take another turn after this one, and when it is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library.

I am just showing how many abilities you could have with two cards. It wasn't really meant to be a combo.

All Emrakul would gain from the memorial is first strike, vigilance, trample, and haste. He already has the other 3. Chances are if you had an AM and played Emrakul, it's gg.

add an elvish piper so people don't get a chance to play stuff on their turn to deal with emrakul, also, a lot easier to play Emrakul of aeons torn (5 mana with the cost of the piper, which would have haste with the memorial) though keep in mind there is no extra turn if you use the piper, since it is not cast (its a triggered ability, not casting)

Wrong, it would also gain Protection from Red and Black. Emrakul only has protection from coloured SPELLS as default, so it can still be blocked, Oblivion Ringed, etc.

True. I read him rather quickly. O ring wouldn't work though. All cards are spells, and auras need targets just like instances and sorceries.

I thought that Auras didn't target creatures.

Oblivion Ring would work on Emrakul.

Remember, Oblivion Ring itself has no target, it is just an Enchantment. (EDIT: Note it's NOT an Aura. Auras DO target WHEN YOU CAST THEM)

When you cast it, you just cast it - when it enters the battlefield it's triggered ability goes on the stack and you choose a target for it.

At this point Oblivion Ring is a Permanent, not a Spell, and can target Emrakul just fine.

So, if Oblivion Ring was black, it wouldn't be able to enchant Emrakul.

Also, I just realized that Oblivion Ring was an Enchantment, but not an Aura. Would a black Aura be able to enchant Emrakul?

No. I was incorrect in my last statement. I was thinking O-rings were auras but they are not. Auras require targets, and are spells when on the stack. Therefore, and colored auras would not be able to target Emrakul.

'So, if Oblivion Ring was black, it wouldn't be able to enchant Emrakul.'

Assuming you had the combo in play, Emrakul has Protection from Black and isn't a legal target for any black source, so if O Ring was black it couldn't target him.

'Also, I just realized that Oblivion Ring was an Enchantment, but not an Aura. Would a black Aura be able to enchant Emrakul?'

Under normal circumstances, Emrakul is able to have Auras attached to him - so long as they are either colourless when they are played (like Eldrazi Conscription) or are put into play enchanting him (e.g. via an effect like Nomad Mythmaker) - you cannot cast a coloured Aura targeting him though.

In this situation, Emrakul cannot be enchanted with a Black aura - part of protection is 'cannot be equipped, enchanted or fortified by a permanent that is x' - so even if you could use an effect to trick an aura onto him (e.g. Simic Guildmage) it would 'fall off' as a state based effect.

No, simic guildmage and others move an aura from on creature to another, at the point that ability can be activated that aura it is no longer a spell, it is a permanant (spells only exist on the stack), Emarakul does not have protection from colored permanents -an aura can be tricked ontp him and will stay

You've taken that out of context. In the example given, Emrakul also has protection from Red and from Black (due to the Memorial), so black and red auras WILL fall off.

If Emrakul did not have these protections then you would be right.
