  1. 44:23 Amulet exiles the card and lets you play it as long as it’s exiled and you haven’t used amulet a second time. Amulet doesn’t have to still be in play for you to play the card. The opponent flickered Amulet with Phelia, so the exiled card will forever have the “you can play this from exile” rider attached to it, and the “new” amulet can exile another card. Pretty sweet interaction.

  2. Fun Fact: Emrakul can be affected by the trigger on Infernal Captor's exploit. I know this because I finished a draft 7/1 with a really decent RB Affinity pool that also happened to pull a Persist. I exploited the Captor to himself with Persist to steal opponent's Emrakul (after having exploited the Captor to himself the turn before to steal a smaller Eldrazi and smashed) and kill him in the air cus all the dudes he stole from me were on the ground. It was the last play of the draft set for me. Quite an epic way to finish out.

  3. I beat a resolved emrakul with mono blue affinity. I had a huge board that emrakul stole. I untapped with synthasizer, played a thought monitor and enforcer, then passed to my opponent. My opponent played a devourer of destiny, which tapped them out. They went to combat and i responded by channeling moonsnare prototype to bounce emrakul. They passed, i immediately attacked and won

  4. Am I not mistaken that if you cast and then counter your own Emrakul you can take all your opponent's creatures without the risk of the LTB ability? If so that would make a somewhat interesting deck tech

  5. So, when you play both forsaken monument and arid mesa in this deck, you get to play this whole game with your ugin's labyrinth focused on getting down monument as soon as possible so you can tap labyrinth to return your devourer of destiny or something else crazy and just cast it and then return the labyrinth at something with mesaimprinted mana to have very sneaky turns, like if they don't keep in mind that we are actually plus 3 mana on our next turn.

  6. I feel bad for Thought Knot Seer in this deck. There are so many turns where he’s ready to get smashing but he shares a curve slot with The One Ring, which just does what it always does :p
