Archetypes
Colorless Ramp/Big Mana — Her enormous cost demands an artifact- and land-based ramp engine to deploy colorless threats early.
Madness/Discard — Her madness cost rewards discard outlets that pitch and recast her cheaply while dodging counters.
Control — Stealing an opponent's full board acts as a one-card sweep-plus-army that stabilizes and closes games.
Combos
No combos found for this commander on Commander Spellbook.
When you cast this spell, gain control of all creatures target player controls.
Flying, protection from spells and from permanents that were cast this turn
When Emrakul leaves the battlefield, sacrifice all creatures you control.
Madness—Pay six .
Ramp hard with colorless mana rocks and Eldrazi tron-style lands to cast a 12-mana threat that steals an entire pile of creatures on cast, then swing for lethal with a near-unkillable 9/9 flyer that has protection from spells and freshly-cast permanents. You play a ramp-control shell that survives early, then snowballs once Emrakul (or another fatty) lands, using madness or reanimation to cheat the cost down.
The cast trigger is a one-sided board steal that can swing a multiplayer game instantly by gutting the strongest player
Protection from spells and from permanents cast this turn makes Emrakul extremely hard to remove the turn she enters, often ensuring a connect
Colorless identity lets you abuse the most powerful artifact ramp and the Eldrazi land package without color constraints
Madness for six colorless lets you 'cast' her from a discard, dodging counters and getting her cheaper than 12
Single-color (colorless) identity locks you out of removal, card draw, and interaction—your spell quality is weak
Hugely mana-hungry; if you stumble on ramp you do nothing for many turns
The leaves-the-battlefield clause forces you to sacrifice your whole board, so bouncing or blinking her is a disaster
No built-in evasion-proofing against sacrifice, exile, or edict effects that ignore protection (e.g., 'each player sacrifices')
Commander tax plus a 12 MV makes recasting brutally expensive after she dies
Colorless removal and a powerful planeswalker that fits the artifact/land-heavy build.
Push the ramp suite with Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt, and the full Eldrazi land package (Eye of Ugin, Cavern of Souls) to land her ahead of schedule. Add discard-and-recur loops and reanimation pieces that play nicely with her madness, plus colorless interaction like Karn, the Great Creator and Ugin to cover for the color identity's lack of removal. Finally, lean into ways to keep her on the battlefield so you never trigger the sacrifice clause—prioritize protection over flicker effects.
