I'm not sure I see the white in that.
Well my original thought was 'exile = white' but then I remembered black does that too and in this case blue-black would make more sense. Also I remembered Circu, Dimir Lobotomist was a thing so I bumped up the power a little.
Card tax:
Trickle of Life - WWW
Enchantment
During each player's upkeep, you gain 1 life.
Whenever a Plains or a white creature enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life.
*doesn't know for sure that anything exists that puts white token creatures on the board whenever you gain life, but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it did*
Think I'd make it nontoken just in case. And maybe trade one or two W's for colorless mana; don't feel there's a particular need for it to be quite so unsplashable.

Ooh, she could go on a triple-date with the Desolation Twins.
1GW for a 10/10 and 10 life once per turn? Yes please.
Awakening Engine - 3
Artifact
Spells cost {1} less to cast for each awakening counter on Awakening Engine.
{2}: Put an awakening counter on Awakening Engine. Any player may activate this ability
EDIT: Whoopsie daisy. I was a little indecisive over whether I should just use charge counters or make up a new counter. Decided unique counters would be less abusable. Fix'd.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?You might want to tweak that a little so it actually does something.
- Emrakul's Invader 2(G/C)(G/C)(G/C)
- Creature - Eldrazi
- Adaptor - when this creature attacks, target creature gets -X/-X. (When ~ attacks, target creature gets -X/-X, where X is the greatest number of creatures with the same type Exiled)
- GC, untap, target creature gets -2/-2
- 5/5
- Scionlord of Emrakul 7(B/C)(B/C)
- Creature - Eldrazi
- Adaptor - when this creature is blocked, exile X cards from your opponent's graveyard. If X is 5 or more, your opponent loses 5 life.
- Vigilance, Lifelink, Flying
- 10/10
Still trying to make Adaptor work. Essentially it was based on what I observed of Ingest and such, and I made Adaptor based on that. Essentially, it is showing Emrakul is trying to adapt to the things the Allies are doing, and given many creatures share the type Ally...
It is basically copying, bastardizing and working based off of the things being done by the Allies.
Anyone else can make their own additions.

So it's an ability word rather than a keyword?
I think the wording should be "in exile" rather than "exiled," unless you're specifically referring to creatures exiled by the Invader. Also, I'd recommend making the bit about creatures that the Invader fights getting exiled a separate line than the Adaptor one, since it looks like Adaptor lines are "look at things in exiles and do a thing based on what's there."
(I see that both -er and -or works. Is it an American/British thing?)
How is X determined on the Scionlord?
EDIT: Oh! One last thing. I think that "C" is a Kozilek thing, not a general Eldrazi thing, so Emrakul might not get it. The Invader seems like it might be a green-cost devoid creature. Scionlord could be blue or black-cost.

Mindpunch - {B/R}
Instant
Choose target player. ~ deals 2 damage to that player if they discarded a card this turn. That player discards a card if they lost life this turn.
Is it better to attack the mind or the body? The correct answer is apparently 'both.'
The idea is that Adaptor checks the Exiled pile and then does things based on the types of creatures exiled.
Scionlord would determine its X the same way Invader did - checking for the number of a certain type of creature exiled and using that for X.
Both are colorless creatures whose casting cost would require Wastes / colorless mana, and I suppose that was mostly Kozilek's thing. I think I have an idea to involve Wastes but also be new.
I think I've got it; I'll separate Adaptor into Exiler and Adaptor, similar to how Ingest worked with the Processors.
- Horrific Void-Striker 2(W/C)
- Creature - Eldrazi Destructor
- Exiler (if a creature would be put into the graveyard after fighting this card, exile it instead.)
- Devoid
- First Strike
- 3/3
- In Emrakul's return, its million tentacles were as spears.

I think that your Adaptor idea is varied enough that it'd have to be an ability word instead of a keyword, so each use of Adaptor would need the full text of whatever their ability does and looks for.
Also, Scionlord is different than the Invader because there's no "that creature" to determine the creature type you're looking for. What if...
Emrakul's Scavenger 3BG
Devoid, Trample
When ~ enters the battlefield, you may attach an exiled creature card to it.
Adaptor - When ~ deals combat damage to a player, that player exiles X cards from their graveyard, where X is the number of creature cards in exile that share a creature type with the card attached to Emrakul's Scavenger.
It roots through uncorrupted battlefields, saving intriguing bits to inspire Emrakul's new creations.
4/5

The Witch of Izalith (2RR)
Legendary Creature - Wizard
Whenever another red source you control would deal damage, it deals that much damage plus X, where X is ~'s power.
Whenever you cast a red noncreature spell, if you control no other red permanents, exile ~ and return it to the battlefield transformed under its owner's control.
2/3

The Bed of Chaos
(b/r)
Legendary Creature - Insect Plant Demon
Defender
When ~ enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, put a X/X red and black Demon creature token on the battlefield, where X is the number of Demons you control.
~ has indestructible as long as you control another Demon.
6/1
Seath, the Scaleless (3WUB)
Legendary Creature - Dragon Mutant
Wither
~ has indestructible as long as you control an artifact.
You and permanents you control have protection from other Dragons as long as you control no other Dragons.
5/5
Gravelord Nito (XXBG)
Legendary Creature - Skeleton Wizard
When ~ enters the battlefield, creatures your opponents control get -X/-X until end of turn, then put X 2/2 black Skeleton creature tokens on the battlefield.
(0): Regenerate another creature you control.
3/3
The Four Kings (1WWBB)
Legendary Creature - Spirit
Lifelink, bands with other Four Kings
If you control four or fewer copies of ~, the legend rule does not apply to them.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have cast no spells this turn, you may search your hand and library for a card named ~ and cast it without paying its mana cost.
3/3
Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (2WRR)
Legendary Creature - Giant Soldier
First strike, haste
Whenever ~ attacks, it deals damage equal to its power to all creatures with power greater than it.

Would the attached card count itself among the exiled cards or not?
I'm pretty sure it would. It'd be like a creature exiled by Oblivion Ring.
Given that it's the first time anyone gets priority in the turn, it's impossible for this to not trigger.
Four Kings should be a 'Spirit.' Ghost isn't a type. This ain't Pokemon.
Spiritomb - 3BB
Creature - Spirit Demon
Wither, Flying
Whenever a creature with a -1/-1 counter on it dies, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
2/2
The crack in the seal of the damned.
And if you have multiple copies of Four Kings on the field? That was what I was trying to get around, essentially allowing you to only get one free copy of it on the field per turn no matter how many of him you control. I figured the way I worded it would allow the first to trigger, then disallow any extra triggers from a second King.
Pull from Tomorrow 2UU
Sorcery
Name a creature card, then put a creature card from your hand with that name onto the battlefield.
The next time a creature card with that name that you own would enter the battlefield, instead shuffle it into your library.
Exile Pull from Tomorrow.
Here yesterday, gone today.
EDIT: Added the exile clause, then decided to further up the Holy Shit factor by lowering the CMC.

Irish Zombie, Gwyn is kind of a god. Even after he's been blowing his power on kindling, the gods are still usually considered to be a separate race from humans and giants. And Nito... well, I don't really know about him, but he's mayyybe more of a cleric than a wizard, given that if you get the spells that he uses, they're miracles? Or maybe he could just be a skeleton horror. Other than that, though, really nice designs for them all.
''The eternal question of reality, it still stands today.''I like Nito's design, but you may wanna tweak those numbers. If you cast him for X=0, you get a 3/3 for BG (which, while at the upper end of the power curve, is perfectly acceptable by itself) that can also infinitely regenerate all your other creatures for absolutely free.

Yeah, that is a bit much.
...because I have a problem:
Toriel, Caretaker of the Ruins WRG
Legendary Creature - Goat Wizard
Champion a creature
R, Tap: deal 2 damage to target creature.
WG, Tap: Put an artifact token called "Butterscotch Pie" onto the battlefield. It has "Tap, sacrifice Butterscotch Pie: target player gains 5 life."
"While you are in a FIGHT, strike up a friendly conversation."
3/4
Asgore, King of Monsters WRB
Legendary Creature - Goat Wizard
First Strike
R, Tap: deal 2 damage to target creature. If that creature is human, deal 3 damage instead.
If a creature would be exiled by an effect, the controller of the effect's source loses 5 life and it dies instead.
"...It was nice to meet you. Goodbye."
