UR Omniscience Combo

A friend of mine built a casual omniscience deck a few weeks ago that tried to resolve the enchantment, then draw the deck using reforge the souls and thunderous wrath the opponent 4 times. I changed 25ish cards and came to this. I haven't tested it much, but when I have it wins on the spot every game you resolve omniscience. The deck can easily support a splash color for a thragtusk/huntmaster of the fells plan in the sideboard or even maindeck. Black could be a splash for duress out of the board, but negate and dispel do similar enough things that I think that's a worse option.

Maindeck

4 augur of bolar
4 wild guess
4 izzet charm
2 rolling temblor
4 jace, architect of thought (should maybe be amass the components or more rolling temblors)
4 reforge the soul (should maybe be thoughtflare)
4 temporal mastery
4 omniscience
4 gilded lotus
1 griselbrand
1devil's play

1 izzet guildgate
4 sulfur falls
4 steam vents
7 mountain
7 island
1 desolate ligthhouse

Sideboard

4 negate
1 dispel
2 rolling temblor
4 fettergeist
4 thundermaw hellkite

Bant Control

A deck I've really grown fond of lately. It seems to be favored in the midrange mirrors and do well against aggro (especially after board). I have very few complaints about the list other than some of the openers looking shitty, but every deck has that issue while there's no card selection.

Maindeck

4 farseek
2 azorius charm
1 selesnya charm
4 centaur healer
1 borderland ranger
4 restoration angel
4 jace, architect of thought
2 tamiyo, the moon sage
1 garruk, primal hunter
4 thragtusk
2 angel of serenity
2 sphinx's revelation
1 entreat the angels
2 detention sphere
1 cyclonic rift

1 cavern of souls
2 forest
2 island
4 sunpetal grove
4 temple garden
4 hallowed fountain
4 glacial fortress
4 hinterland harbor

Sideboard

2 cavern of souls
1 rest in peace
1 rhox faithmender
3 sigarda, host of herons
2 negate
4 supreme verdict
2 terminus

UW Humans

This is the deck I took to states, and I feel like it has a ton of potential. Beats the shit out of zombies, mulch decks, gw aggro, and tokens. Coin flip against control and jund it seems like. The deck needs a lot of work and I'll be working with it on stream.

4 champion of the parish
4 war falcon
3 dryad militant
4 knight of glory
4 precinct captain
4 thalia, guardian of thraben
4 geist of saint traft
4 silverblade paladin
4 lyev skyknight
3 spectral flight

1 moorland haunt
1 island
4 cavern of souls
4 glacial fortress
4 hallowed fountain
8 plains

Sideboard

3 bonds of faith
2 oblivion ring
4 negate
2 syncopate
2 war priest of thune
1 keening apparition
1 spectral flight
