I did a Turn 2 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn today at LGS Modern tournament with this deck :-)

Also will be adding Griselbrand after thinking and consultation with other planeswalkers ;-)

i mean think about how your logic would apply to other legendary cards. if i controlled an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn then i also (according to your logic of subtypes) wouldn't be able to control an Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre because they're both legendarys with the eldrazi subtype.

I pulled yisan in my 2015 fat pack. I laughed and thought 'what is this guy'. The whole design of yisan is hilarious to me. A bard with 'verse' counters. And his ability is dummy strong. Reclamation Sage or even just Elvish Mystic early, anything up to Siege Wurm or Elderscale Wurm mid and even Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or other, less powerful and less big but still threatening eldrazi. I didn't have any counter manipulation, though, so i used sac outlets to reset his counters, or swung with him or something. Even still, as just a casual play deck(my competitive decks were daretti and Kaalia of the vast), he was strong. I didn't even run good green stuff. One of my best threats was Ivy Lane Denizen , for perspective. I didn't have a lot of the green ramp stuff like dorks and land enchants because this is my only green deck. It's still passably good.

I'd go with him out of the three you mentioned. The flash ability is kinda nice, but doesn't do anything game winning on its own, like yisan's 'tutor value and big shit and win'. Selava may potentially benefit opponents, but her ramp is nice. I think you definitely want yisan though.

Caerwyn: i don't understand how people can look at an effect like this and say "it effectively costs...". 9 mana to cast is 9 mana to cast regardless of how many lands it untaps upon entering. to me, something that "effectively costs 6" is something that can actually be cast with 6 lands. this card "effectively costs" 9, but refunds 3 mana. thats not the same as "costing 6". and the cmc definitely matters. after a certain point, a high cmc just makes cards unplayable in certain formats. the only way to reliably get those cards into play is to "cheat" them into play with things like Through the Breach , and at that point they're competing directly against Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and other eldrazi titans, and possibly Griselbrand

Skullblade248: i do not have anger issues, and i am very fun at parties. you're greatly confused here. im simply pointing out my knowledge of the modern format. its simply too brutal a format for something like this to be seriously competitive. modern is a format where an opponent can attack you with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn on turn 2. Stormfist Crusader is not modern playable, period. also, "hand attack" is not a thing. its called "discard spells", which still doesn't make crusader good, and doesn't negate the fact that the crusader still provides equal advantage to both players.

Wuzibo: blue tron plays very differently than other tron decks. it doesn't have the same "get the lands out immediately" strategy that tron decks (or this one) have.

Actually, tapping down Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with Matsu-Tribe Sniper totally works. Emrakul has protection from colored spells. Once your sniper is on the battlefield, it no longer counts as a spell but is instead a permanent, and Emrakul’s protection no longer matters.

Funkydiscogod But Emrakul, the Aeons Torn have protection from alla colors...so i can't use my Matsu-Tribe Sniper to TAP it.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your advises
