Well, if its Emrakul...
Standard forum

The evidence looks like the "ancient horror" is just Emrakul, wow big suprise... Anyways, I looked at this and thought about standard. So, WotC took the Jeskai/Boros Harbinger Control decks that did well in modern, and slapped that into Standard. What do you all think? If we do get a new Emrakul, what would WotC need to do to balance out standard again?
- The card of the day on the WOTC website is OG Emrakul.
- There are promos shipped to LGSs that are branded with Emrakul on them.
- They will announce it in video on their website 3 hours from now.

Not really, this is speculation about standard. The evidence that WotC is giving us points to Emrakrul. I mean, look at today's Card of the Day, it hints that you will be scared of her. Why? I hardly think that it is because you have to drop 27 bucks to get one.
Also other evidence has shown such as a leak of a shipping order. It listed a buy a box promo as being called "Advanced-Emrakul". You can find this on reddit or the internet, I just don't have the link. I really do hope it is not Emrakul, its just that the evidence points to Spaghetti right now...

I'm sure that a new Emrakul will be balanced in the same way as the other 2 current standard-legal Eldrazi titans; by having a large amount of its power be an on-cast triggered ability. It might be powerful enough to play, but there's no reason to think a Nahiri/neo-Emrakul interaction would be unbalanced in Standard.
