Eldritch Moon Standard UB Control

When Wizards are pushing creatures, I believe in Liliana.

The Deck:

Creatures:
Emrakul, the Promised End 1
Dragonlord Silumgar 1
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy 2

Draws:
Press for Answers 4
Read the Bones 3

Counters:
Scatter to the Winds 3

Removals:
Liliana, the Last Hope 4
Ultimate Price 4
Languish 4
Ruinous Path 3
To the Slaughter 2

Others:
From Under the Floorboards 1
Welcome to the Fold 1
Startled Awake 1


Lands:
Geier Reach Sanitarium 2
Sunken Hollow 4
Choked Estuary 4
Island 8
Swamp 8

A control deck light in creatures may not be the best place for Liliana, but she can stabilise small creatures til you cast Languish in early stage.

Ideal play vs aggros:

Turn 2: Ultimate Price on any 2 drops or three drops with 3 attack(Lambholt Pacifist, Tireless Tracker, Eldrazi Displacer)
Turn 3: Liliana's -2/-1 on Thraben Inspector/Duskwatch Recruiter/Thalia's Lieutenant/Sylvan Advocate.
Turn 4: Ruinous Path a Gideon.
Turn 5: Press for Answers or Read the Bones.
Turn 6: Before their Advocate becomes 4/5, Languish once.

Late game:
Use Liliana's -2 to bring back Jace, then clear the board again with Languish.

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 /...
