First deck to take a look at is Timeless Mono-Black Burn by Tsuyoshi Sakamoto!
This deck only uses black to drain the opponents life from 20 to 0! it does that with cards like Bump in the Night, Sovereign's Bite, Rankle's Prank or Collective Brutality which all let you drain the opponent and some of them even provide other useful benefits!
A strong part of black in this deck is its ability to interact with the opponent efficiently with disruption like Thoughtseize or removal like Fatal Push or March of Wretched Sorrow so you can do more than just burn the opponents life total.
And the last surprise element of the deck is that thanks to being mono-black, its quite easy to cast Necropotence and refuel your hand with new cards. And sometimes you can even turbo it out with Dark Ritual if both of the cards line-up well in your hand!

Second deck to cover is Timeless Rakdos Anvil by DjMaffiXD!
This deck is very low to the ground like some shadow variants for example so it mostly plays 1 and 2 mana cards, but its main gameplan is centered around artifacts instead!
One part of the deck consists of generally strong cards like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Orcish Bowmasters, Fatal Push or Lightning Bolt which help you to set into the boardstate early before you get to use your artifact shenanigans.
Now lets get into the artifact part of the deck! First you will probably want to resolve cards like Ornithopter, Oni-cult Anvil or even Yotia Declares War so you can get some tokens and thopters onto the battlefield.
When you get that settled you can then use cards like Deadly Dispute, Retrofitter Foundry, Overcooked or even Yotia Declares War where all of them let you use them for your own advantage in various ways, either it be sacrificing them for cards, damage or pumping them up to attack!

Switching formats, lets take a look at Standard Rainbow Humans by Pierfrancesco1987!
Mono white humans has been a contender in the format for a while so most people are familiar with it. This deck takes its shell and upgrades it with some powerful effects and creatures from other colors which is now possible thanks to the printing of a bunch of rainbow lands!
The white “shell” of the deck includes some aggro focused cards like Recruitment Officer, Hopeful Initiate or Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, lords like Coppercoat Vanguard, disruption in the form of Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Brutal Cathar or Anointed Peacekeeper.
Now that we got the core cards covered, lets take a look at the reasons this deck plays more colors.
First one is Jirina, Dauntless General which lets you protect your creatures from boardwipes, second one is Katilda, Dawnhart Prime which lets you ramp out your more expensive cards and then grow your team later, and the third one (which is also the last one) is Halana and Alena, Partners which lets you apply more pressure every single turn!
And the reason this deck can plays so many mana intensive cards is the printing of cards like Plaza of Heroes, Secluded Courtyard or Cavern of Souls which let you tap for any color if you fulfill its conditions!

And the last deck to cover is Standard Esper Flash by R_de_Prodi!
This deck is somewhat similar to Esper Midrange, but instead of being sorcery speed, most of its cards have the ability to be cast at instant speed!
Lets start of with the threats! Those include only a few sorcery based ones which are Skrelv, Defector Mite and Deep-Cavern Bat, but they provide useful abilities so the deck can afford it. The rest has flash written on it and it includes cards like Faerie Mastermind, Werefox Bodyguard or Errant and Giada where some of them disrupt the opponent, or they provide advantage like Errant and Giada.
Now that we covered the creatures, lets look at the second important part of the deck which is the interaction and disruption!
They include counterspells in the form of Make Disappear, removal in the form of The Wandering Emperor or Cut Down, and disruption in the form of
