Eldritch Moon sealed pool

So I bought a few boosters to open and see what I could do as far as making a half coherent deck with the cards.... Here's the list.
Post what you'd do if you got these 6 boosters as a sealed pool. Thoughts, ideas or decklists welcome!
I'll do another round in a couple of weeks and face the best off against each other.
So far I'm trying to do Bant and use both those two, it ain't very pretty!I'm a fan of Unsubstantiate even though counters are a bit meh in sealed.
Red is probably the strongest colour here (comparatively) perhaps paired with the White is the most rounded way to go. Of course, Emmy can still join in that party.

Thoughts: This is a really fun archtype in this format. This particular pool is actually missing a lot of the cards that make this viable, namely Thermo-Alchemist and the "to the face" burn cards. You'd also typically want more bounce. I think played correctly this has the chance for some big turns, but UR Spells does seem to lend it self to chip damage. Other than the below, this was the only viable strategy that I saw, but I believe UB is the better direction.
If UB Control

Thoughts: This has pretty much everything you want in a UB control deck for limited purposes. You have a few different 'win-cons' in Emrakul, the Promised End, Chittering Host and the emerge cards. You have quite a bit of removal and enough instants and sorceries to make Docent interesting in this build, as well as enough types that will find themselves in the yard to get a discount on Emmy. You get Enchantment/Artifact/Creature/Instant/Sorcery pretty easily. It's also possible that discard outlet would help get land, however the difference between a 7 and an 8 costed titan are not significant enough to matter.

I've would have made almost the exactly same UB control list. The deck seems quite decent. Even though you got a lot of shit rares in limited, the deck got some synergy. Docent of Perfection Flip is a bomb. Same is botht the Emerge creatures.
I would be quite hesitant to include Emrakul. It is risky, but I guess you just got to include her, when you get her.

Other than emmy and tammy that is a terrible draft pool
