Really? "Dies to {Pillar of Light}" is the reason it's not that great? Nay..."Exiles two anythings then dies to {Pillar of Light}"? Come on man, good card is good.

I'm not saying it's not great. I'm just saying that it's answerable. Chill out.

However, if not answered, the game will be over, quickly

"New best Eldrazi" is a huge stretch. Is this guy better than the Infinite Gyre? I'd say so. Is he better than Emmy? Not even close. Emrakul is a royal pain to answer in the formats she's played in, and she completely wrecks the opponent's board once she swings. Cast Ulamog off of a {Show and Tell}ed {Omniscience}? You get a double {Vindicate} and then he probably eats a {Swords to Plowshares}. Cast Emrakul off of that Show and Tell? Well, then you get to {Time Walk} and leave your opponent with likely no permanents in play to untap with and only one turn to kill Emmy before she kills him.

New Ulamog can end the game quickly if he lands. Emmy just about ends the game the second she lands. Big difference.

Although I agree with you generally, for sake of argument there is a 5 CMC difference. Also, against some decks exile top 20 is a lot worse than saccing six permanents. That being said, protection + Time Walk is whoa.
Time Walk ONLY if hard-cast. You will not Time Walk if  Emrakul is brought in via other means. But still, Flying Spaghetti Monster will spell doom 90% of the time...

Then you get killed by kor allies the turn before you can cast him :(

No one noticed he doesn't get shuffled back in... T4 {gifts ungiven} into him and {unburial rites}.

A lot of people noticed that. That was one of the first things I noted at the least. That and then I realized he destroys two permanents instead of one. Also that  {Strionic Resonator} with his ability is baaaaaad.

Edit: Quick question. Would you be able to choose a new target for the "exile top 20" from Ulamog with the resonator?

No, it doesn't have a target.
