Two ways:
It gets boarded in against Reanimator, and you put it in to play when they Show and Tell (this is pretty uncommon).
You play Loyal Retainers first, then discard Emrakul to Survival and activate the Retainer's ability with Emrakul's trigger on the stack.

It can also be used to shuffle in your graveyard to dodge graveyard hate and stuff like that, I guess.

But I'm pretty curious about why it's in the board.
