I realize that I'm not supposed to be thinking too hard on this since Chandra nuked two titans with fire, but is Liliana's big plan to fighting Emrakul literally "Horde of Zombies."?

I... don't think that's going to work.

P1P1 Avacyn, P2P1 Nahiri, P3P1 foil Duskwatch Recruiter because I'm greedy. I ended up 4-0. I asked my last round opponent if he wanted to split, but he felt he was on a hot streak and wanted to play it out.

We drafted EMA twice out of my second box at the local store last night. We had 5 dudes, so I bought 6 extra packs, and we had a 6th dude want to join in for the second one, so the second draft was 1KTK 2 EMA, since the common lands were the same. It was a really good time.

Angels in Magic are basically golems so I don't think zombie angels work from a flavor perspective.

Also I'd say that Liliana's plan should simply be to come down and -2

Mindslaver let's you do a lot of weird stuff, literally anything other than concede. Fail to finds, paying Phyrexian mana, etc. The Phyrexian mana one is worth noting because you can kill people with their own spellskites. Spellskites ability targets literally any spell or ability, whether it's a valid redirect or not, surprisingly few people know that.

My favorite was making a friend of mine at locals cast spoils of the vault naming Plains two games in a row.

The best thing you can do with Mindslaver is Scapeshift, sac everything, and fail to find. There's no situation where it's better than just killing them but that's so much less fun.

Also yes, killing people with their own Spellskite is fantastic. They do have to have an even life total though.

My favorite mindslaver was when I was UGbw Prison Lands vs high tide in legacy and proceeded to attempt to go off with his deck on turn 3-4. He scooped after I cast a poo poo ton of spells and asked him for his sideboard so I could wish for "brain whatever, the mill one, I get to see what cards are in your board so I can't misname this and save you somehow FYI"

This was accomplished by an all-in manabond hand that was like manabond, 5 lands, loam in the opener, loaming into a tranquil thicket or some poo poo. I've literally never turbo'd that fast before or since.

This was after he went off in the previous game to mill me while I had academy ruins on the board and 4 consecutive turns thanks to his meditates to cast a mindslaver one turn and play the mindslaver the second turn and demonstrated to him that I could mindslaver every other turn (pitching a mox diamond to re-deck with academy ruins on the off-turns) and he scooped that game.

I proceeded to like 1-2 drop that tournament but it was a good first round!

I Mindslavered an Elfball player in a big EDH game who was a turn from going off, and then proceeded to run over everyone else at the table including myself. In my defense the prize payout was a pack per player that you KO'd, and by God I wanted a pack for KO'ing myself.

Psh, that's nothing. Come back when you win a pack for JO'ing yourself.

Knightware (their site is awful and super out of date) is the farthest LA I've been as a SoCal/OC goon. They also have like 20 (TWENTY) real life decks to loan out. No proxies, no bad substitutions. She wouldn't sell me Trinispheres last time I was there because she was pulling them to put together MUD.

There's a poo poo ton of legacy out in the greater SoCal area - if you don't mind driving an hour you can hit up big events 2-4 times a month.

Here's some facebook groups:

Emrakul is pronounced em-rah-cool. "Cool" is originally part of beatnik slang. That's it.
