{genesis chamber} will literally doyou no good

4 {emrakul} is excessive as you will be going through your deck to find it regardless. Maybe add a few {invisible stalker} to dodge removal before {polymorph}? Havent looked at everything but thats apparent off the bat

How will genesis not help, I am just putting that there for when an opponent plays a creature I have either chump blockers, or possible {polymorph} target. 
No other creatures are aloud in this deck, so no stalker.

I do agree on the excessive emrakuls is stupid, and I didn't findany useful cards that weren't creatures that helped.

Well the thing with genesis chamber is.. Your opponent gets the tokens for playing a creature, not you. You only get a token when YOU play a creature.

Haha ya the wording is a little winding, but there ya go

Is there a reason you couldnt add another creature? I really like {invisible stalker} for gis survivability. However is you have a limit and reason why, id suggest {midnight haunting} or something like that, maybe {gather the townsfolk}

Just for chump block/token gen yknow?

Edit: didnt realize you had gather the townsfolk, awkward haha

Why not just draw cards until you hit your polymorph?
{mishra's bauble}
{chromatic star}
{sleight of hand}
{gitaxian probe}
{serum visions}
Because that requires money :)

A playset of each of those cards is about 1/3 the price of 1 {emrakul}

Yup I saw that recently, and I'm putting that in as soon as I get my hands on one.

I'm making a trip to Columbia to drop off my bro for college, and there is a good shop up there.

The thing about the other Eldrazi is, and can someone help me on this.

Is the other Eldrazi so powerful to put it in, and pray the one I want to pop up.  Or do I just keep emerakrul

Id put in like 2 emmy and 1 of 2 different eldrazi titans sothat you dont polymorph into a second emmy later in the game and have to lose a creature. All the tits are incredibly powerful
