Yes, of course, but you still have to run the Emrakul package in addition to the Release the Ants kill because of some awkward situations and matchups where you can't kill your opponent with Release the Ants… Laboratory Maniac doesn't require Emrakul in the same way… Hence why Release the Ants does indeed require Emrakul.
