The combo here is either Brooding Saurian +Emrakul, the Aeons Torn/Iona, Shield of Emeria or Flickerwisp+Emrakul, the Aeons Torn/Iona, Shield of Emeria. In both situations, you end up with both of the cards by end of turn.

This was initially a much slower deck aiming to set up a good Dubious Challenge with Congregation at Dawn, but that continually proved to be way to slow for modern. With that in mind, I made it into a somewhat "degenerate combo deck" by adding Gemstone Caverns(which is surprisingly good) and Simian Spirit Guide. With a Noble or Bird + SSG, you can get out Emrakul on turn 2.
