I grabbed this list off of Chris Allen's Legacy deck from the SCG Legacy event in Kansas City. He finished 4th due to sometimes having Emrakul in hand or in play instead of winning with Release the Ants, and aggro still had blockers. So, I found a fix for that: Curfew. It'll bounce Emrakul to your hand, and since the win-combo is based on Dream Halls/Omniscience, you can just recast him for the extra turn and finishing blow.

The deck has trouble against Miracles and Delver, as do most decks, but since the curve on most of those is 1 or 2 mana, I decided to go for Chalice of the Void over Defense Grid. It's useful in more matchups than Defense Grid, and it shuts down 1/4th of Miracles' deck, whereas you can still reasonably rely on Dream Halls, since FoW is the only 5-drop in Miracles that'll Counterbalance it... and they can't put it on top with Brainstorm if you've Chalice'd for 1. It shuts down a lot of your deck too, but I find it's more consistent this way than Defense Grid at shutting them down.

I've been thinking about Swan Song over Spell Pierce, since it's a very similar hard counter that just misses Planeswalkers and Artifacts, versus a soft counter that they can just pay 2 for. You don't mind giving them the bird, since you can win with Release the Ants, but I think It depends heavily on the meta where you are.
