Dredgeless dredge variation for pioneer

Hey! I'm not sure that "dredgeless dredge" is an accurate defenition for this deck but it's the closest archetype I could find in pioneer metagame.

Nevertheless, I need some help improving it.
First, what can I cut and/or add to the main list?
Second, till now I played bo1 with it, but I want to move to bo3, so what could be my sideboard options? My main concern is anti graveyard hate, obviously.

To be clear, I understand that this list and maybe the whole concept is't as strong as the tier-1 pioneer meta decks and I can consider adding some pioneer staples as long as it does't demand changing the idea to much.

New jund midrange

Hey! Since the releaze of cosmogoyf I wanted to make some kind of standart variation of my all-time favourite odern jund midrange deck. And so after I digged through skryfall I ended up with this set of cards:

1d
Dryad Militant

2d
Cosmogoyf
Mosswood Dreadknight
Questing Druid
Emberheart Challenger
Callous Sell-Sword
Virtue of Persistence (non-adventure part isn't happening I guess)

3d
Tersa Lightshatter
Qarsi Revenant
Lamplight Phoenix

4d
Decadent Dragon

5d
Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator

lands
Pit of Offerings

Obviously it isn't the whole deck, just the cards I think could be usefull considering my game plan.

So, are there any cards I missed? I guess more 1drops could be consedered. I'm happy to recieve any advises!;)

UPD: see this comment for more complete list of cards: https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/1vw728h/comment/p5ej8vm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Abzan company midrange

I always was quite upset that siege rhino couldn't be summoned with collected company. And so with skirmish rhino my dreams came true!

This deck is a child of selesnya company and abzan rhino from 2015 if the had one. So, the general plan is to tax the opponent with thalia and mai in early game (plus the first strike is always nice), as well as to disrapt their plan with thoughtsieze and bats. I especially love summoning either double rhinos or rhino plus prince (feels like a siege rhino on steroids.

But I'm not quite sure about the rest of three-drops. Surey archon is nice at any time, lora is a good neutralize effect and doth bloodmage and flanker are good with fell stinger. But are there any better options?

In sideboard the deck has some more disraption, some graveyard hate, some anti-burn and anti-discard effects, lost legacy for combo decks and even more rhinos for midrange mirrors. Maybe I'll include anafenza the foremost for more graveyard hate at some point.

Any comments are welcome!

Bolas tribal vol.II

Hey! Here I am with the second generation of my Nicol Bolas tribal deck for pioneer. I took the idea of a Lutri as a companion from the previous post about this deck and developed it. So here is the list. I use many hand disruption spells and boardwipes as a main controlling tool, I also use some cheap counterspells in main deck and a couple of 3cmc that can either counter multiple spells at once or can dig throw the deck.
Plainswalkers do also some control and provide card advantage.
In sodeboard I have more counterspells to use agoinst control or combo and some graveyard hate with a layline. I also can add some more discard from sideboard as well as Lost Legacy against combo.

What can I impove more?

As I can see now, I'm quite good against creatures and combo duy to hand disraption and wipes. But I didn't have much experiance against midrange.

The first variant of the deck was descussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PioneerMTG/s/YU1iYoGPiV

Bolas tribal (pioneer)

Hey! I wanna build a Nikol Bolas tribal deck for pioneer. The win con is Nicol himself (+ other plainswalkers I guess). My main plan is obiously a control (maindeck is mainly anti-creature and sideboard consists of some anti-control and graveyard hate).
What can I improve to make deck more consistant and solid?

Lili esper control

So, I really like Liliana and want to build a control deck with her as a win con.
What can I adjust? I am actually not quite sure what is a right proportion of mass removal // target removal // counters is in the current meta.
I guess I lack draw engiens and lifegain but what are the optimal variants?

Legend rule of double-faced legendary/non-legendary cards

Does the legend rule still apply if I have two [[Jace, Vryn's Prodigy]] flipped?

The referense on Skryfall says this:

Each face of a double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, power and toughness, loyalty, abilities, and so on. While a double-faced card is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored. While a double-faced card isn't on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face.(2015-06-22)

How can I improve my pioneer deck?

I want to build a golgari control deck. What can I change to improve it? My goal is to ramp up into control spells that are also kind of ramping and then win with either hallfire or turranax
