Deck Description

Number 3, and Final deck featuring "Blinking" and "Flickering"
The deck is a mono white deck that focuses on Control through Exiling my stuff and my opponent's stuff.

Here is the combo that I am aiming at, here:
Fiend Hunter and Cloudshift

Cast Fiend Hunter, as it comes into play, its first ability goes onto the stack. In response, cast Cloudshift on your Fiend Hunter. Fiend Hunter's second ability will be put onto the stack (doing nothing). A "New" Fiend Hunter will be put into play from Cloudshift resolving, choose a new enemy creature if you want. The old "Fiend Hunter"'s first ability will resolve, exiling a creature forever.

That cheap ass trick works with Leonin Relic-Warder too.
Also, and here is the MAIN card, works with Mangara of Corondor too. He exiles any one card of your opponent's, only to be freaking saved via something like Momentary Blink!

So, deck description: A deck that tries to exile everything, while saving all of your stuff from the brink of extinction via "Flicker" and "Blink" spells.

Under 25 bucks for a mono white control deck :)

How to Play

Win by controlling the board via Strionic Resonator and Seht's Tiger and using "Blink" and "Flicker" on creatures: Fiend Hunter, Mangara of Corondor, Leonin Relic-Warder.

Back up exile with O-ring.
Early creature damage with Javelineers. It can be reset with "Blink" cards too.
Wellspring to draw, it also can be reset.

Exile stuff, save your stuff, exile more stuff, save more of your stuff.
You get the idea.
You and your opponent's stuff gets exiled, but your stuff gets saved.

Eventually, your opponent will not have any cards on the board...if you play your deck right/get lucky. Slowly kill them with your tricky little creatures.

Good luck!

This deck is screaming for Strionic Resonator. Being able to copy the triggered abilities in addition to cloudshifting, is pretty nuts. This makes Oblivion Ring perma exile a non-land permanent. The copied ability will not allow the exiled permanent back in.

Energy Storm seems forced here, unless you have problems with flyers and direct damage. Seems like a perfect sideboard card to me.

Also, what do you think about Restoration Angel?

She could be brutal...i looked at her while making this deck.
She rocks.
I hate how much she costs though.
3 of her would double the price of the deck.

I also thought about her with my Pirates/Land destruction versions of Blink/Flicker.
Drop a pirate, make opponent sack something, then play the Angel, and the pirate comes back into play again, making opponent sack something else.

Definitely worth considering.

berndttoast, do you have any decks with Flicker/Blink?
You obviously get how it works, I know that by your very solid advice/suggestions.
Would be interested to see what you come up with :)

I do not have any blink decks, although I play against one in my play group a lot. One of the interactions that he uses:
Play 2 Eternal Witnesses
Play Ghostway to remove all of them and then play Wrath of God to destroy all creatures your opponents control.
Then when you creatures come back at end of turn, The Eternal Witness will trigger and you can pull back the ghostway and the wrath of god. Rinse and repeat every turn. If you have a soul warden in your group of creatures, you gain life for all creatures coming back in. I will see if I can get my buddy's decklist. It's pretty insane when it goes off.

OK, here is how my buddy's deck works:
I think the main low cost combos in the beginning to get cards in order and mana out are:

1. Augury Owl
2. Coiling Oracle
3. Birds of Paradise
4. Cultivate
5. Green or White warden for life gain if you want (I don’t find it that useful until later when you can bounce a lot of creatures in and out and get a bunch of life)

Then more mid game stuff is:

1. Primeval Titan
2. Acidic Slime
3. Thragtusk

End game is getting enough mana to cycle:

1. Wrath of God or FInal Judgement
2. Ghostway
3. Eternal Witness X 2 to pull back the wrath and ghostway

And of course the anytime utility cards would be:

1. Cloudshift or those type cards
2. Right of Replication
3. Other Titans that have ETB effects that you like.

It's super nasty. Every time he busts that deck out, we all cringe. That is, unless I am playing my Torpor Orb deck. :)

Yes, Torpor Orb...I recently found out about that card too. Very nasty stuff you can do with it. It costing 2 mana rocks, as well!

Only thing I feel iffy (but if you and your friends have been beat down with it, it works) about the above deck is the having to have 2 copies of the same creature (the Eternal Witness) in play at the same time.

Eternal Witness is a very fun card! Splash blue and play Familiar's Ruse or Cryptic Command.

And with white...your friend's deck...he already has Eternal Witness and Ghostway. Just add in Mangara.

He gets them out with surprising regularity. With the Augury Owl, he can stack the top of the library to get the 2 creatures he needs. He uses Cloudshifts to protect them, grabbing the cloudshift back with the Witnesses ability. Super annoying to have to deal with.

Ready for another Saga card? I like Spire Owl over Augury Owl.

Spire Owl is look at top 4 and stack them. 4 is deep, deep search!
Augury Owl does a scry 3. Some would say 3 is less than 4 BUT being able to put any of those 3 on the bottom of your library could be better than Spire Owl. Plus there are other cards that react/combo with scry too.

Still like the Spire Owl better!
