Emrakul, the Promised End would benefit a deck that focuses on filling the graveyard with multiple card types to reduce its casting cost, such as a self-mill or reanimator deck. While Emrakul's ability to take control of an opponent's turn and grant an extra turn can be powerful, its high mana cost may make it difficult to cast consistently. Other cards like Griselbrand or Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger may be more efficient choices in certain decks due to their immediate impact on the game. Ultimately, the decision to include Emrakul in a deck would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.
