Deck Description

Ok so I'm. Making a casual emrakul deck... I'm going with the basic
Elvish piper or quicksilver amulet to get emrakul out + lightning greaves for the very helpful haste and shroud.

Magnus and rattleclaw are turn 1 and 2 ramps...

Hornet nest is the start of some defensive combo to allow time to get emrakul out.

-Advice needed-
The help I need is on the last few cards to make it a stronger and more sturdy deck... I'm searching through wizards now but in the meantime any ideas would be great


EDIT 1
Rattleclaw is out for now and elvish mystic is in - from thinking things through it seems obvious that a turn 1 ramp is crucial

EDIT 2
withstand death and Fauna shaman are in, death for some early survivability and fauna to make sure we can tutor a big boy

EDIT 3
Swiftfoot boots are now in....i was tossing up between a defensive creature and a haste equipment but i thin that haste is maybe more beneficial

How to Play

Turn 1 - Magnus
Turn 2 - either piper or quicksilver
Turn 3 - if piper on turn 2 then emrakul + lighting greaves

How about more Elves that produce mana:

> Heritage Druid allows you to tap three Elves to get {G}{G}{G}. You can even tap Elves that have Summoning sickness. Nettle Sentinel is often combo'd with Heritage Druid.
> At level 5, Joraga Treespeaker let's all your Elves tap for {G}{G}.
> Elvish Archdruid taps to add {G} for each Elf you control. It also gives your other Elves+1/+1.
> Viridian Joiner taps to add an amount of {G} equal to its power.
> Equip either Viridian Joiner or Elvish Archdruid with Umbral Mantle and you can get infinite {G}.



Then there's the devotion route:

Karametra's Acolyte and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx both tap to add mana equal to your devotion to green (assuming you choose green for Nykthos). Untapping them should be easy; Karametra's Acolyte can be equipped with the aforementioned Umbral Mantle, and Voyaging Satyr can untap Nykthos.
