Summary
Emrakul is one of and the strongest of The Three Eldrazi Titans, Eldritch Abominations that were born in The Blind Eternities, the nothingness separating realities and planes of existence. Formed out of the very Aether that filled The Blind Eternities, their true forms are incorporeal having no physical substance. Their true names have long since been forgotten to time. When they wish to manifest themselves, they create three-dimensional shadow like avatars, carrying out their will for them as their true forms are too immense to do so.
These Three Titans consume the mana of entire planes for sustenance, leaving nothing behind but empty barren husks of what once was a universe. Each titan has lineages of Lesser Eldrazi spawn that collectively act as a kind of digestive system for hastening a plane's consumption. The power of The Three Eldrazi Titans varies significantly depending on whether they are in a bound or unbound state.
Emrakul is the Titan of Corruption, the largest and most fearsome of the Eldrazi. She does not affect inorganic matter - rocks, water, etc. - but twists all things living, be they plants, animals, or other sentient beings. She causes silent terror wherever she soars, embodying desolation, emotional and physical distance, the chill of the void, and the terror of being alone.

- Acausality (Type 4; The Eldrazi Titans were born from The Blind Eternities which is a formless void without time or space. They are forces beyond nature, following an insane set of pseudo rules that do not apply to normal people.

- Immortality (Immortality Type 1; Are stated to be older than time, Type 9; As long as their Higher-Dimensional selves exist killing their physical forms is pointless[7][8])
- Reactive Evolution (When certain types of magic are discovered to work slightly better against Eldrazi or they discover a weak spot they do not last long. An example of this is when Liliana was amped by The Chain Veil, withering and destroying Emrakuls tentacles faster than they could regenerate. However over time Emrakul began regenerating even faster with The Raven Man stating it has no limits[9][10][11])
- Non-Physical Interaction (The Eldrazi were capable of fighting against elementals which are described as the physical manifestation of primal natural forces. They were also capable of interacting with Oldwalkers, who were Abstract and Incorporeal beings of pure mind[12])
- Absorption & Magic (The Eldrazi are feed off of Planes and can devour mana energy, life energy, spell energy, and even natural energy. The passive absorption of The Eldrazi is so strong that it absorbs one's body, mind, and even magic as you try to utilize use it. It's also stated that their magic transcends the categories of spells and mana. Absorbing energy from the Eldrazi causes that energy to begin devouring you instead[13][14][15][16][17])
- Corruption & Mind Manipulation (Type 2; Emrakul's corruption affects anything and everything that lives warping them, things like trees and vines become tentacles similar to Emrakul's with anyone within her proximity having their minds shattered. Emrakul's presence can cause even Planeswalkers like Liliana to feel a vertigo-like effect, despite her having mental defenses. Anything corrupted by Emrakul for too long becomes part of her lineage[18][19][20])
- Possession & Power Modification (Emrakul completely took over Tamiyo's everything, she then altered a spell that should have brought destruction to everything, to one that would seal her into the moon.[21])
- Poisonis Aura (The Presence of The Eldrazi is capable of poisoning things such as rock[22])
- Madness Manipulation & Morality Manipulation (Type 2; Emrakul's maddening presence creeps into one's mind corrupting mental defenses and changing their allegiance to her. Her presence also makes you feel despair, so much so that you begin to think death is the true goal of existence as it is just one of the superficial lies of life. Emrakul causes whoever looks at her to feel utter desolation and emptiness, their rational thoughts are shattered as they lose purpose and identity[23])ref>The Promised End</ref>Bace's Sanctum</ref>
- Mental World (Emrakul can bring people to a mental world, where she can seemingly control everything. In these mental words she can break down the mind of her victims, making them forget everything[24])
- Biological Manipulation (The Eldrazi Titans can change the very anatomy of an entire race so that they are forced to serve them[25])
- Life Manipulation (Emrakul's presence naturally bends all life to her whim which causes them to naturally follow her, it's to the point that conscious living things abandon everything and forget their former lives. The obliteration Emrakul brings can reduce all life to nothing but grit[26][27])
- Necromancy (Emrakul's influence even affects the undead such as zombies[28])
- Fusionism (Emrakul was capable of fusing two separate angels into one, eldritch abomination.)
- Avatar Creation (Lesser Eldrazi emanate and appear from The Eldrazi Titans who each have their own brood lineage. They act as extensions and organs of The Eldrazi Titans harvesting mana and life energy for them across a plane[29])
- Reality Warping (Just by awakening The Eldrazi changed the meaning of everything on Zendikar, making Reality Spasm.)
- Dimensional Travel (Planes are described to be as being separated by walls of reality, going to another plane means tearing through that reality. The Eldrazi can travel to different planes through the Aether like Planeswalkers[30][31][32])
- Flight (Emrakul drifts slowly and silently through the air to get around unlike the other titans[33])
- Deconstruction (Emrakul's tentacles can reduce what they touch to ash. The vocalizing of The Eldrazi Titans can cause stone to turn to vapor and dust. Mountains crumble into sand just from the energy radiating from Emrakul[34][35][36])
- Danmaku (Emrakul's tentacles can multiply up to the tens of thousands[37])
- Law Manipulation (Just by existing all Eldrazi passively alter the laws of nature[38])
- Gravity Manipulation (Emrakul's presence alters the function of gravity allowing her to ignore it while at the same time causing those around her to lose their footing and drift towards her[39])
- Light Manipulation (Light bends around the Eldrazi like a mirage. All color is drained from both physical things and the sky due to the energy being radiated from Emrakul. The Eldrazi absorb energy from everything even light causing the world to become dim[40][41][42])
- Weather Manipulation & Electricity Manipulation (Emrakul's presence causes a storm and summons impossible forking lightning.[43])
- Sound Manipulation (Emrakul causes an unnatural quiet to fall upon wherever she moves despite the chaos she causes[44])
- Void Manipulation (The Blind Eternities is described as a 'Space' between planes, constantly called chaotic and logic-defying while being filled with raw Aether. It is a great void that has currents of energy and magic strong enough to comprise the foundation of the multiverse. The destruction it brings is so potent that it's capable of killing Ghosts, destroying mind, body, and soul as well as erasing all memory of your existence from reality. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[45][46][47][48][49][50])

Even the slightest effects of The Blind Eternities can cause Spatial Contortions. The Blind Eternities are described as being everywhere and nowhere, having no concepts of direction or distance, nor following any other conventional concepts making it impossible to comprehend. It's so inconceivable that Planeswalkers view it as a place despite it not being one. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58])
- Chaos Manipulation (The Blind Eternities is described as primordial chaos and is a chaotic, logic-defying place that can destroy beings with its destructive entropy. The very substance of The Blind Eternities consists of swirls of chaos and objects to anyone staying there.

- Absorption (The Blind Eternities will consume you if you stay within it for too long even if you are a Planeswalker, it is considered a place without logic, physical form, or substance. The Blind Eternities will soak you in dark fatigue and suck away at your very life force. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[64][65][66][67])
- Possible Probability Manipulation (The Blind Eternities is filled with particles of probability and traveling through it means interacting with probability itself. The probability of The Blind Eternities is described alongside its destructive entropy which can destroy almost anything. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[68][69][70][71][72])

The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[79][80][81][82][83][84])
- Law Manipulation (The Eldrazi alter the laws of nature just by existing and are not forces of nature but forces beyond nature, following an insane set of pseudo rules that do not apply to normal people. The Eldrazi and The Blind Eternities as a whole do not fit within conventical concepts[85][86][87])
- Magic (The Blind Eternities is filled with so much raw Aether and unconstrained mana that the magical stresses alone are said to kill anything less than a Planeswalker. Even a phantom would never survive as the errant magic would shred its very essence and subject it to utter destruction. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether without dying. The Eldrazi are stated to travel through the Aether and were born in The Blind Eternities[88][89][90][91][92])

- Avatar Creation (These visible forms of The Eldrazi Titans are in truth just projections of their Higher-Dimensional Aether Selves[96])
Attack Potency: At least Multi-Solar System level (Nyx is the night sky of the Plane Theros and is home to the gods. Like the night sky, Nyx is stated to contain stars, with The Gods inhabiting its constellations. This is because The Gods of Theros have their physical forms entwined with Nyx, and they are displayed as cosmic entities made up of interstellar dust and constellations. It was stated by Kruphix, The Eldest of The Gods that if The Eldrazi ever came to their plane, even The Gods of Theros may be powerless to stop them and Theros would be destroyed[97][98][98][99][99]), likely High Universal level, possibly Universal+ level (The Eldrazi are stated to have enough power to threaten countless planes. Among the Infinite Planes that exist some are describd as being Infinite in size. Even the physical form of The Eldrazi Titans was too powerful for Oldwalkers to destroy, including Ugin who is comparable to his Twin Nicol Bolas[100][101][102][103][103]) | Unknown, possibly Multiverse level+, possibly higher (The True Forms of The Eldrazi are Aether itself, their physical forms are simply three-dimensional shadows of their higher dimensional selves. Aether is described as existing throughout the entirety of The Blinds Eternities encompassing an infinite array of planes some of which are infinite in themself. When the Titan's True Forms were made visible, they enveloped everything. All of Zendikar, which is its own Reality & Universe, was encompassed by them, covering every direction and inverting dimensionality. In their eternity the Titan's True Forms are stated to no longer be finite in their entirety[104][105][106][107][102][108][102][109][110])
Speed: Superhuman, likely higher (The Eldrazi Titans can move fast enough to catch fleeing humans; however, they can also easily cross the void between worlds within a short time span), possibly Infinite Combat Speed & Reaction Speed (Where capable of fighting against three Oldwalkers one of which was Ugin, who is comparable to his twin Nicol Bolas[111]) | Unknown
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Unknown
Striking Strength: Large Mountain level (The Eldrazi Titan's tower over mountains and are capable of destroying them as well[112][113]) | Unknown
Durability: At least High Universal level, possibly Universe+ level (Was capable of fighting three Oldwalkers and tanking their attacks[111]) | Unknown, possibly Multiverse level+, possibly higher
Stamina: Infinite (The Eldrazi never tire and feed off of everything[114])
Range: At least Interstellar (Are stated to be capable of threatening the entire Plane of Theros), likely, higher | Unknown, possibly Multiverse level+, possibly higher
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Unknown (The Eldrazi Titans has some sort of intelligence however their minds are generally considered unfathomable by both mortals and Planewalkers alike. It is possible to communicate with them telepathically, however even then the conceptualization of them that appears does not realize the person talking to them exist. This is because their mind would be trying to conceptualize something that it cannot understand. Sometime The Eldrazi Titans can share their 'thoughts' briefly through flashes of images or brief words, however that is the limit to which they do so.)
Weaknesses: The Eldrazi Titans are extremely easy to strategize against and can be lured as they naturally follow large masses of Mana. If used as a beacon they can be lured to an entirely different Plane saving the one they are currently attacking.
