13 Rares/mythics! Help me not screw this up.

First of all, it is very obviously stupid that somebody can open a pool of 13 mythics/rares, while most people are opening 6-rare pools (most of my pools have been 6 rares). How is this fair to anyone? Obviously great that it's "my turn" to get the lucky draw, but having 2x as many rares is insane -- made more insane by them being all good rares basically (sorry, Nita) and all but 3 being Jeskai.

It's like 2AM here and I opened a pool before I went to bed. It's a doozy. 13 rares/mythics and several of which are best in class like 2x antiquities, plus Ark, it's crazy pants. I'd say the removal feels like it's on the expensive side.

I made a jeskai deck (last image) from the pool, to be able to play basically all of the rares. I feel like I want some non-emeritus card draw, but between that and Ark, I think I'm good.

Looking for some comments or gaping flaws I have missed (I have very few 2-drop, and this build of the deck is only 6 creatures -- should I maybe cut the skycoach for something like an essence scatter)?

Am I being too greedy with the blue (adds Lute and Emeritus) and should just go straight Lorehold for consistency?

I'll be sleeping, but will chat about ideas when I'm back in the morning, would appreciate any help. This feels like a deck that should get 6 wins, so I really hope it does. Thanks so much!

EDIT: I've tried to upvote everyone for the comments! thanks for your help. Seems HH being bad is one consensus from everyone. eep!

EDIT2: This is very stressful, I am 2-1. Lost to a guy that was maindecking a bonus sheet card that kills artifacts and he blew up my ark the turn I played it and I didn't draw any other craziness.

EDIT3: Got stuck on 3 lands and lost to the mirror match that even had two antiquities in the 5-1 match, so no qualifier, but 6k gems is a good consolation prize. Many large spirits killed me.

EDIT4: Don't cry for me, chat, I immediately turned around and got the 6-1 qualification with a Witherbloom ((splashing white)) deck that fit my playstyle much better. Yay!

This Sealed Environment Makes Me Unhappy, Help Please

I don't want to end up all tilted again, but this is my second pool that has kind of looked like this. I have no idea what to build with this pool, I did a prismari going for the mill out or possible kill with the guy that pings on spells? Not sure this is right, it doesn't look very good at all, IMO.

I included the rares just because it feels nice to see them, IMO. The pool, split by color (with some lands and stuff mixed together -- I missed a FEED THE SWARM for black, which I think is sitting in the blue pile.

It feels like it has the goods to be a soup deck, but nothing really over the top to go for with the soup.

Save me before I blow all my gems again!
