Rulings
If any exiled cards you own are face down, they have no characteristics. If they're normally instants or sorceries, they won't be counted for Ral's second ability.
If the target permanent or player becomes an illegal target for the triggered ability of Ral's emblem, the ability doesn't resolve. You don't draw two cards.
If you have only one card in your library, Ral's first ability puts it into your hand. Nothing is put into your graveyard.
The emblem created by Ral's last ability is colorless. The damage it deals is from a colorless source.
The triggered ability of Ral's emblem resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
