Make an Eldrazi titan!

This is an attempt to create a titan to stand with Ulamog, Kozilek, and Emrakul. All of the major titans have the ability to completely destroy an opponent within one or two turns of being cast. They have powerful, game-changing abilities and high P/T. I created Be'Atahn to be similar. I wanted it to have the ability to utilize the annihilator that many Eldrazi creatures have. You spend the game blasting away permanents, and then Be'Atahn drops in, sucks away everything that was annihilated (and more), and uses them against their original owners. I wanted it to be, like the other titans, an end-game bomb. I am not, however, as talented or accomplished as the other smiths out there. I feel as if I have not created what I wish for as well as those that know Magic better than myself.
edit: @KimJongMartin created a card that is very nice and seems to be favored by the community. If that favor continues to rise between now and the 17th, it would be my honor to concede to Kim.
As has been mentioned, Emrakul isn't destroyed and only trapped. While the Gatewatch are fighting Tezzeret on Kaladesh, the plane that Nahiri managed to planeswalk to after her battle with Sorin on Innistrad was Ravnica - and there, where she was wounded she found allies and enemies - and soon she became stronger but did not know where the Gatewatch was for they had left Innistrad. She had now different views on the Eldrazi and she soon became to have an obsession on thinking Emrakul was her pet, and the power that was Emrakul's was hers. After her guild, the Rakdos, were eradicated - she became hellbent with fury and again, used her force over the surviving rakdos to construct another temple in which to summon Emrakul to Ravnica. She has gone completely mad, and upon the summoning of Emrakul, Nahiri got squished.

The idea behind Quiduum was to get the same 'inevitable clock' feel of the Titans without just being a massive beatstick that's hard to deal with.
Quiduum plays with the recursion ability that all of the original Titans had (when put into your graveyard from anywhere, shuffle your graveyard into your library) while offering a punisher effect. At the same time, there's a good bit of counterplay to it; you can always choose not to cast anything the turn before (though that might prove just as bad), or if you have a lot of creatures with flash, you can tap out after your opponent drops Quiduum.
Here's mine:
Although terrifying, Bogut has a sinister method of drawing bodies to him so that he might expand his
vast girth and power. His wretched limbs are formed out of the skeletons of those he's ingested and the
weapons they carried while still living. Beware!
Toruzok is the mastermind, the cosmic influencer, trying to control the outcome of all events on Zendikar. I think the card is pretty flavorful; you activate his second ability as many times as you need to get your opponents side set up so that when you attack them you're getting rid of all the creatures you don't like. Right now, though, it seems too easy to wipe out your opponent's whole board by powering up all of their creatures, so maybe I'll change it to {c}, or maybe make it +2/+0 to make it more difficult to get them at the same power.
The reminder text shouldn't be reminder text. I've made that mistake before.
Would this be better:
Whenever an opponent would sacrifice a permanent, that player sacrifices the creature with the greatest power or each creature tied for the greatest power that he or she controls instead.
Still doesn't sound that great.
Whenever an opponent would sacrifice a permanent, that player sacrifices each creature with the greatest power among creatures he or she controls instead.
Here you go!
