The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

This deck originally started out as the graveborn premade deck and I slowly modified it to become what it is today. The quicksilver amulet is so that I can still cast it if I happen to have the creature in my hand, and emrakul serves two purpose first is that I can use quicksilver amulet to summon him and second so that when I get jin-gitaxias out I don't mill myself to death. I do not consider myself a pro so please feel free to comment. Best first hand draw is an entomb, animate dead, dark ritual and a black mana. The other three cards doesn't matter as much.

I run a vey similar deck but insteaad of emarkul, I like to run it that betrays because they can be buried and exhumed. Let's face it getting one of those out is much easier than emarkul. I also like he fact that whatever your opponent sacs comes under your control. Nothing better than swinging for 11 pts of damage and taking control of their stuff. Only weakness is it that it betrays is vulnerable to all the spells like doom blade and such. Also, I run terminte instead of go for the throat as there is a large group of us, about 25 or so that play legacy as we have been playing for a long time. If u like check out my animator deck. Its geared towards legacy. The sideboard needs work though.

I stated the reason why I run emrakul, it is so I don't get mill to death by Jin-Gitaxias, because I normally get Jin-Gitaxias out by the first or second turn, and drawing 7 extra cards each turn, you can mill yourself to death pretty fast. The last time I played with this deck in a free for all with 5 people. I manage to take everyone out. I went first and got out got Jin-Gitaxias out first turn, second turn I got Iona out and choose black disabling all the doom blades/go for throat. Then I slowly picked everyone off with iona and Jin-Giatxias, and finished eveyrone else off with emrakul by the fifth turn. The reason I don't run a sideboard is that I mostly play causal home games.
I also thought about splashing blue into my deck for some control but I been too lazy. Plus I don't like playing this deck a lot because the games normally end too quickly and people get pissed off.
Yeah I could se running emarkul if ghere are 5 players. I usually play one vsb one which is why I chhose it that betrays.
