Having a debate with my buddy over whether card:Tormod's Crypt will exile Emrakul, the Aeons Torn if i use it's ability in response to him hitting the graveyard.

Duy note if you use something like Purify the Grave on Emrakul to exile him the graveyard still gets shuffled back into the library.

Also even if nothing is left in the graveyard, the library still needs to be shuffled.

Yes, card:Tormod's Crypt could theoretically exile Emrakul, the Aeons Torn . Emrakul's effect is not a replacement effect, since it does not say "instead." If, after Emrakul gets put into the graveyard and it's effect is placed onto the stack, you may activate Tormod's Crypt, placing it above Emrakul's effect on the stack. Tormod's Crypt would resolve first, exiling the graveyard. Then, when Emrakul's effect would resolve, it would no longer be able to find Emrakul and nothing would happen.
