Deck I based mine off of Griselbrand's Glass Cannon

This is my version of the Griselbrand Glass Cannon Deck. I run Through the Breach and Goryo's Vengeance mainboard and use Pentad Prism to mana ramp up to the 5 mana needed for the Through the Breach.

The Deck works by either putting Griselbrand or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn in the graveyard and reanimating with Goryo's Vengeance or from my hand with Through the Breach. with Griselbrand you can draw for the Fury of the Horde or Soul Spike , with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn you just hit and buy some time, usually people just scope when he hits the field. For the Goryo's Vengeance and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn combo you cast it in response to Emrakul's shuffle ability hitting the stack so it shuffles but he's already on the field. You can use Chancellor of the Tangle for some starting green or exile to Nourishing Shoul for more life to draw.

For the Sideboard I have Ancient Grudge to deal with many of the annoying artifacts, Pithing Needle for many cards that can exile or destroy with activated abilities, Boseiju, Who Shelters All to prevent counters, Inquisition of Kozilek to get rid of annoying cards from their hands (I'll upgrade to Thoughtseize when I get 3 of them). If you play a deck with lots of ways to stop Griselbrand]]'s attacks like TurboFog you can sideboard in Conflagrate, just pitch then flashback with a simeon spirit guide and discard your whole hand. the newest addition to my sideboard is Pull from Eternity. With all the cards I deal with in my meta and in the meta overall there are a lot of ways to exile all of your Griselbrand or Emrakuls and so having a back up way to pull him back quickly and then rez him gave be a life saver.

This deck has won on turn 1 (god hand), can usually win 2-4, and what I consider my greatest achievement, come back from a Karn attack. My board was empty and I completely recovered in one turn.

All tips or advice are appreciated.
