Thanks everyone for all your help and advice but by the looks of it I'll just get myself a modern event deck but for now I'll stick to standard:)

Turn 3 emerakul huh? the abusive power of tron just not good enough for you? :P

It actually started off as an attempt to a make a competitive angel deck because that is my favorite tribe but it never really worked. And then degenerated from there over two years to eventually because "I'm Gonna cast Emrakul turn 3-4 yaaaaa" Turns out even my eventual creation was not good enough.

But turn 3 Emakrul sounds tempting...

but not feasible. Turn 3 karn with natural tron sure... karn will bend your opponent over for a few turns while you get extra mana for emrakul.

I've done it a couple times. and done Turn 4 alot...

Basically.

land & mana dork
(2 mana from before) Land & Fist of Suns
(3 Mana from before) Land, Simian Spirit Guide, Hard Cast Emrakul for 5.

that's a brave plan. Abrupt decay is not your friend.

also 5 color without fetches/shocks/dues that come into play untapped would be pretty hard and those are all very expensive.

also also, that's 16 cards dedicated to that combo not counting lands... not a lot of wiggle room for flexibility.

also, also, also... surprise emrakul for 1 in 10 games sounds fun but losing the rest doesn't.

Nor is lightning bolt or any number of things. Its definitely got issues but interesting to work on.

This is around the closest the deck made it before I scraped some of the lesser concepts and moved on to rebuilding a new form.

I always thought the amulet of vigor deck, while hard to play correctly, was a fun looking deck.

watching him pilot that during the protour was a thing of beauty.

Ill throw my 2cents in for the Modern Eggs deck. Its literally 75% commons and uncommons and its hilarious...

Here's the modern deck I'm building: https://deckbox.org/sets/730232 that ive chosen to build seeing its most affordable. Heres the link to the separate forum post: https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=21372 Looking for feedback and ideas as you can see its not finished so I'm looking for suggestions. I copied and modified it.
