I found AEthermage's Touch in a $0.50 box at my local game store and decided to build around it.

Emrakul on turn 2.

1. Play Breeding Pool or Temple Garden , then Arbor Elf
2. Play any land, then tap it to enchant your first land with Utopia Sprawl , choosing either or (whichever the land itself does NOT have)
3. Sometime during your opponent's turn, cast AEthermage's Touch . If you hit Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , you probably win. If you reveal Torrential Gearhulk , you cast AEthermage's Touch and hopefully hit Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and win.

Emrakul on turn 3.

1. Use any combination of Arbor Elf , Utopia Sprawl , Growth Spiral , or Coiling Oracle to reach 4 mana available on turn 3.
2. Repeat step 3 from above.

Backup Plan.

• If you cast Eternal Witness or hit it with AEthermage's Touch you can return AEthermage's Touch to your hand to try to get Emrakul, the Aeons Torn the following turn.
• Serum Visions and Reason / Believe can filter for your deck to put the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Torrential Gearhulk on top.
• With 6 mana, Reason / Believe has a small chance of getting Emrakul, the Aeons Torn onto the battlefield all by itself. Also works with 5 mana either in conjunction with another Scry effect or a crap ton of luck.
• Jace, the Mind Sculptor can put Emrakul, the Aeons Torn back on top of your library so it can be grabbed with AEthermage's Touch .
• If the worst happens and you actually have to play a fair game of Magic the Gathering, just beat them up with Torrential Gearhulk and Celestial Colonnade .

Sideboard.

• 4 Reflector Mage to either hard cast or hit with AEthermage's Touch against creature decks.
• 4 Knight of Autumn to either hard cast or hit with AEthermage's Touch against burn or aggro decks.
• 4 Frilled Mystic to either hard cast or hit with AEthermage's Touch against control or combo decks.
• Other generic sideboard hate.

Don't forget:

Any creature you grab with AEthermage's Touch returns to your hand on YOUR next end step. That means: 1. Any small value creature you get when you miss Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can be reused for extra value 2 turns later. 2. ALWAYS cast AEthermage's Touch on your opponent's turn, either on upkeep (so they can't play a land they need to counterspell) or in response to a spell (like Thoughtseize ) or during combat so you can block their Goblin Guide with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for extra disrespect.
