Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is making waves in literally every format in the game. (Well, outside of ones that force you to play five colors like Rainbow Staircase. Or 'rarity matters' formats like Pauper.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Strongest card based on its power in standard or strongest standard-legal card?
If the later, Fetchlands. They do three things.
Fix your mana consistently and flexibly
Fill your graveyard
Shuffle your library
All three effects are powerful. The Fetchlands are played in every format where they are legal and enable a wide range of cards and decks that otherwise wouldn't be played.
I'll first Treasure Cruise. Any card that becomes a 4-of in Modern and Legacy pro decks practically the day after it gets ripped out of packs has got to be something heavy.

What is, in your opinion the strongest card in standard atm?
Personally I'm going to say Courser of Kruphix or Polukranos.
On phasing:
