Not sure if more combo or aggro so i went with aggro just so it had a name, i just basically need ways for it to run smoothly

{Elvish Spirit Guide} makes you a turn one kill perfect scenario. I'd cut {Elvish Mystic} or {Arbor Elf} for it.

28 lands is more than enough. You can cut a few.

{Harmonize} is kinda bad. Splash black for {Vampiric Tutor} and {Demonic Tutor}.

Add {Verdant Catacombs}, {Overgrown Tomb} and probably maybe {Llanowar Wastes}. The B/G dual wouldn't hurt if you have it.

All in all I'd recommend

-4 {Arbor Elf}
-18 {Forest}

+4 {Elvish Spirit Guide}
+4 {Verdant Catacombs}
+4 {Overgrown Tomb}
+4 {Llanowar Wastes}
+4 {Demonic Tutor}
+2 {Vampiric Tutor}

Or you can try {Serum Powder} and aim for the god hand mulligan.

For reference you cannot {Instill Energy} onto Emrakul (he's pro colored spells)

Other than that cool deck but 28 lands seems high

I changed the list to reflect the changes i made last night, i splashed blue for tutors and from what i can tell it plays somewhat consistently. Still trying to iron out kinks though

{Harmonize} is still sub-optimal. {Ponder}, {Preordain}, {Serum Visions} are all one drops that are (IMO) better.

If you manage to pop out a {Mycosynth Lattice} you can target Emmy with colored spells. The only downside is your opponent can too.

True, but that's gonna eat into your life if you have to {channel} for Emmy & Lattice, your setting yourself up for a {lightning bolt} response I think.

EDIT: it's 23 mana, did the math. That'll kill you.

Who cares? I mean why would he add Lattice for that small interaction?
