Deck Description

Using multiple cloudposts/vesuva/shimmerposts for fast mana genrally gives me mana very fast, also to make sure I get the cards fast I use crop rotation to sac a forest to put a cloud post in play as well as living wish to get even more cloudposts or an emrakul in hand. 15 mana by third turn is possible but usually this happens by the 4th or 5th turn.
Farhaven Elf and Tribe Elder also get additional forests into play when they are put into the game. The only issue is having only two Emrakuls; one in the deck to draw or get via Planar Portal or Eye of Ugin and one in the side deck that can be retrieved with Living Wish.
The deck also includes two ways to put Emrakul and/or It that betrays into the field without paying the summoning cost, but lacks the additional turn I get for casting him.

Still working on improving deck though and thoughts are appreciated.

there is an artifact which cost 6 to play and then you tap 3 mana and tap it to play any creature from your hand into play. I would focus more around that because you arent gonna get the mana to play Emrakul so you need to stack your deck with that and things like your enchantments

Hrm, I thought about using a deck to cheat him out but I wanted to ramp up mana fast to hard cast him and get the additional turn. Mana usually isn't and I can usually boast 5-9 mana by turn 3 and 15+ by turn 4-5. The issue I see from my sample hands is getting Emrakul and/or It That Betrays into my hand quicker if I fail to draw them (or a living wish).

I drew a few sample hands, and was unable to get any forests or methods to get forests for about 4-5 turns on average.
