hey,
sorry for the waiting, I've just moved in my new place and only now I had the time to properly answer you.
I don't believe that through the breach + emrakul, the aeons torn would help you in those match ups. Ad nauseam and Storm would finish the game long before you could cast TTB, and both decks run some kind of counterspell if you try to out race them (Pact of Negation or Remand at maindeck and Negate, Dispel or Swan Songs at sideboard). Also I do believe that adding 3 Emrakul would significantey make your draws worse on those games. I prefer having counterflux, negate, dispel, damping sphere and even maybe surgical extraction on the sideboard for those matches (but not only for those).
Counterflux is guaranteed to stop the ad nauseam and storm (only not true if your opponent have a Remand targeting their own grapeshot or empty the warrens, maybe they don't realize they are able to do so), damping sphere is a great way of gaining time against those decks (they are faster than you, time is nice ), negate and dispel give you some chance at stopping the combo and surgical deals with Past in Flames and also with a countered Ad nauseam or grapeshot.
Against tron I like bringing almost the same package, only changes would be bringing Ceremonious Rejection (maybe I should add a third copy to the side) over dispel and surgical extraction. Though the plan for winning is far different from when playing against Ad nauseam or Storm. While you need to stop those combo once or twice, tron would be constantly throwing fatties at you. At the same time you want to disrupt your tron opponent, you must apply some form of preasure. As I've said before, run your snapboy on turn two and start attacking, you may be wasting card advantage, but if you are going to lose against tron, you will lose with plenty of cards in your hand.
Still haven't found a better way of dealing with tron. Also I don't play many field of ruin so surgical could become relevant, I thought about adding a third field, but my mana base would be far less consistent. Furthermore, sideboardwise, I believe that ceremonious rejection is the best thing to bring in.
