Was thinking about a Show and Tell like Modern Deck, this is what i came up with so far. Actually brought some funny stuff in the tests. Thinking about adding white for Path to exile, to remove threats.

What are your thoughts?

[screallix]

this idea looks crazy!
Wonder why no one thought about that yet.

Dryard arbor is for Liliana and Edict effects?

23 Lands are definitly too much

[screallix]

I think I would add Grislebrand to the maindeck

[kryllex]

Yeah, the Arbor is against lilly or other sac effects, in case emmy should lie around for a turn; or you can use it as an emergency blocker.
Oh my god, i totally forgot about the grizzly bear!!! :D

THinking about a 3/3 split between amulet and Piper, since amulet will mostly lay on the field for a turn it gets activated, and piper can go nuts with greaves in the turn he gets played :)

I am actively working on a similar deck, but with a tooth and nail primary wincon and amulet secondary. I have found in my testing that thirst for knowledge is great in the deck. I am also on tron lands, so the usual chromatic sphere/star package allows for ancient stirrings and thirst to be amazing. Its a different deck for sure, but the same weakness: burn and fast aggro. I am trying ratchet bomb, aetherize, and oblvion stone. Also, I use a set of steel hellkite, which is absurd if it lands on time. I am also testing explore, which is obviously better with tron. Have you considered land enchantments and arbor elf instead of traditional mana dorks?

I like your time of need tech and grizzle shenanigans. I'll be lurking to see how you develop this.

Shouldn't you max out Emrakul and Griselbrand before adding Time of Need? Same with Amulet/Piper and Fabricate. You may as well just play additional draw/filter if your tutors only get one side of the combo. Spellskite seems better at protecting the combo than Remand. It also does work against aggro/burn/twin.

I would go for redundancy and then use Chrome Mox to add some acceleration when you get multiples in your hand. Like this:

Combo:
4 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
4 Griselbrand
4 Elvish Piper
3 Quicksilver Amulet

Draw:
4 Serum Visions
4 Sleight of Hand

Protection:
4 Spell Pierce
2 Spellskite
2 Lightning Greaves

Acceleration:
4 Noble Hierarch
3 Chrome Mox

Land:
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Breeding Pool
3 Island
2 Forest
1 Dryad Arbor

Chrome Mox in Modern would be my wet dream. t1 Thalia? Yes please, please, please, please, please, please. Also, amulet seems worlds better than Piper, so 4/3 would be apt. Piper is going to die to Bolt/Path even if you had greaves. Mox would be totally sweet in Grisel decks though, allowing something like double mox have mana up for Remand.
