Back when you could post comments on Gatherer, the top comment for years running on this card was, R&D had to be high when they designed this. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a flying spaghetti monster that cant be countered and has protection from spells that are more than one color

Most cards printed today follow a "U-shaped" value curve: they are expensive during their time in the Standard competitive rotation, drop significantly upon "rotation" (when they are no longer legal in Standard), and eventually rise if they become "staples" in the Commander (EDH) format
