Turn 3 Emrakul...
T1 Forest {Elvish Mystic}
T2 mountain {Fervor}
T3 forest {Elvish Piper}
T4 {Forest} tap piper {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}. Best thing ever.

Turn 1 emrakul
Swamp
{dark ritual}
{burial} him into your gy
{animate dead} or {reanimate}
On your free turn, stomp face with it. And repeat for game.

You don't get a free turn from reanimating emrakul, you aren't casting him

I'm guessing you mean entomb.  Then you have to use an instant speed reanimate spell to bring him into play, or else it gets shuffled back into your library.

This is what made me one of the top magic players in the area. We called it the christmas deck, a R/G deck built totally around this and it made all my casual friends quit playing. If I wanted to keep playing magic I had to go to a shop and when I did a few of the top players around took me in and trained me to play the game competitively.

You could always  {Channel} him into existence if you're okay with the life loss.

Instant speed reanimation in response to his shuffle trigger. The yard still shuffles.

Trigger abilities don't go on the stack, c'mon... You could use an iper-instant spell, but your opponent could answer with a mega-iper-super-instant counterspell, in that case, you will .poo. bricks

You may want to read the rules. The game is a lot better when everyone knows the rules. Triggers use the stack. State-based actions do not. Emrakul has a trigger (indicated by the words "when", "whenever", or "at"). There are two instant speed reanimators i know of one of which being {goryo's vengence}.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but I'll tell you why you can't do it with darksteel colossus. It says "if" not "when" so instead of being a triggered ability it's a static ability. It doesn't go off when darksteel hits the yard, it happens instead of darksteel hitting the yard.

Actually, you can. {Emrakul} has protection from coloured spells, yes. But {Oblivion Ring}'s ability triggers only once it enters the battlefield, i.e. It resolves as a spell and is now a permanent. It can thus target {Emrakul}.

You can {journey to nowhere} emrakul as well oring is just better since it hits artifacts, enchants and walkers as well as creatures.

Storm Cheerios into grapeshot then play ashnod's alter then sac your creatures hard cast emrakul just in case, then main board one angels grace since you might use a summoner's pact in the process, side board in a few leyline of anticipation and go off on their turn :)

Got it so you can drop  {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} on turn 1 if you draw

T1: {swamp} and {lotus petal} x2

Tap {swamp} for 1 b, play {dark ritual}.

Use 1 from the {dark ritual} to play second {dark ritual}, giving you 5

Sacrifice both {lotus petal} to give total of 7

Play {deathrender} and {bile urchin} or other one cast free sac critter. Leaving you with 2.

Equip {deathrender} to {bile urchin} then sacrifice the {bile urchin}.

Use {deathrender} ability to drop
{Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} and free equip {deathrender} to it.

T2: swing at opponant, who has to then sac a lot of permanents

Another good thing is this setup is a beastie on a stick, you can pop it off at the end of their turn if you like to give them a 17 hp surprise kick to the teeth.

Edit: my mistake... 18 hp.. :) and as {oblivion ring} can only be played on one of their main phases... They would not have enough land left to play it when their turn comes around again
