Elvish Amulet (Modern)

The idea of this deck is to focus on dropping massive creatures without the bother of paying those hefty mana costs. It can theoretically achieve a turn 2 Emrakul... if you draw six specific cards in your opening hand. More realistically, it can pull off a turn 3-4 Emrakul.

The first step is to build up a grand total of 4 mana as quickly as possible. Next, use that 4 mana for either an Elvish Piper or a Quicksilver Amulet, which will then allow you to start dropping Emrakul and Ulamog for a fraction of their actual cost.

Like a lot of combo decks, this either works or it doesn't. If even one of your early-game titans makes it into play, your opponent has kind of a big problem. But if you can't draw all the pieces of the puzzle or something gets countered, you can be kind of screwed.

Half the sideboard protects mana dorks/creature-droppers. The other half adds an element of straightforward stompy. This helps keep the pressure on slow-rolling decks that are good at disrupting your main strategy. Also, Thragtusk helps against burn.
