Buying Eternal Masters

From my experience of buying Legacy cards in February, I recommend players not to predict the price movement of a single card, instead they should buy a collection of all "unrestricted/unbanned" cards.
The collection must exclude these cards:
Mana Crypt
Mystical Tutor
Necropotence
Vampiric Tutor
Brainstorm

Besides, I don't like cards reprinted for too many times:
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Force of Will (this one is arguable, it's a safe choice)

My plan is buying a number of all EMA cards from Tuesdays to Fridays til its promised limited event ending date. The reason for not buying all you need in one day is that: it's not sure if WOTC extends the period of EMA drafts and if they give out EMA packs as prizes for events. (It has happened in Vintage Masters marketing that they massively hold Vintage Masters limited events for a very long period.)

The fear of loss must be overcome as now is the best chance to buy with the least risk.

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...

Mono Red Devotion

Will devotion come back in the new Standard? There is no card better than Dragon Whisperer for red devotion. Not only does it contribute RR to devotion but its 1R:+1 ability brings back Flamewake Phoenix ( Ferocious) . I like Flamewake Phoenix. But on paper, it has a promo version. It's likely that it's designated to be printed as a player's reward card( much like what they did on Chandra's Phoenix ). Do you like Ashcloud Phoenix more? Is it better than Thunderbreak Regent? Or reverse? No matter what the answers are, Regent is the most likely a replacement for Stormbreath Dragon after rotation. The list: Mountains 22 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 2 or 2 more Mountains Dragon Whisperer 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel  4 Flamewake Phoenix  4 Goblin Rabblemaster  4 Ashcloud Phoenix  2 Thunderbreak Regent 2 Fanatic of Mogis  2 Purphoros, God of the Forge  1 Outpost Siege  2 Chandra, Pyromaster  2 Stoke the Flames /...
