How does one respond to that? Like I'm looking at vintage combos and like wtf!

Bring out your clone effect. If they can't kill by your attack phase, you probably just won.

New legend rule makes said tactic null and void.

What I meant is that your clone will attack first, unless they have a haste effect in play

{Oblivion Ring} would do it, if your mana ramp works well enough

{Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} has pro colored spells though

The Oblivion Ring spell doesn't target. All it does is put an enchantment on the field. That enchantment has an ETB ability, and Emrakul does not have protection from colored abilities.

To be perfectly honest, most of those effects won't work, since most show and tell decks cheat other cards like {{Sneak Attack}} or {{Omniscience}} onto the field. Either way you're not getting a chance to clone or o-ring.

So how would you deal with a T1 Emrakul?

There's a reason {{Force of Wills}} is a Legacy staple :P

Can't be countered...
He's talking about countering things like {show and tell}

Just found out this doesn't work with clone effects, as both enter at the same time. Unless it was a  {Vesuvan Doppelganger} or you flashed in a clone effect later on that turn...

Dudecore

You can {Knight of the Reliquary} into a {Karakas} , probably get them to concede. It's hard to get {Show and Tell} combos go off more then once.

People usually hate on {Force of Will}, but it keeps the format honest, people tend not to build stupid degenerate decks because they may eat a FoW
