I know For this i need to either Search and Exile, Or theres few nifty Arrest Cards in Blue at Low CmC.. But Only have 1-2 places i can swap. I know theres a great card for this..

how is Arrest helping against Emrakuls shuffle effect?

sergiodelrio is right - the best option is Surgical Extraction. While the opponent's graveyard will still be shuffled into the library the first time, you still come out ahead, removing all impediments to your strategy, as well as getting to peak through their library for what was sideboarded.

Another option you can use is Trickbind. However, this requires you to have a Trickbind and two open mana whenever an Emrakul hits the graveyard, making it vastly inferior to Surgical Extraction.

sergiodelrio .. Think your correct, Im going to put Surgical Extraction in place of a Fetch, And also found for sideboarding Stifle . Tnx for the feedback All!

HillyerGames - Stifle is not Modern-legal. Trickbind is the legal option with the lowest converted mana cost.

Ya, Forgot i run this in other formats alot to find a match, think nothings saving mana, and doing the job as well as Surgical will. Never run into many issues that put me on the backfoot. Aeons and Elixir are only cards that have caused sideboarding.

HillyerGames I would 100% put that in the sideboard tho and as a 4 of. Otherwise you'll never draw it to beat that strategy

sergiodelrio Sure, Theres no bad side to running the 4, but i got no useless drops and land is right on, so it actually draws evenly. But yeah, You gotta have a way to adjust and not get caught.. So Im in agreement running it that way also. Plus dropping 3 free traps in a turn is lights out.
