Deck discussion for Modern Bant Blink

might i suggest:
1-2x Elite Arcanist
2x Tidebinder Mage (his effect doesn't remain active throughout multiple casts, but you can change the target)
(maybe) -1 Cathedral Sanctifier +1 inquisitor exarch
4x thragtusk

looks like a good deck. Had a friend who played one of these. was really annoying.

Thanks for reminding me about exarch. Forgot all about that.
I have been thinking about thragtusk for a while... I'll just go ahead and try it out. Why not? It does wreck, and all.

I might suggest adding a little more diversity to your counterspells. Dissipate is cool and all, but it doesn't really do too much for you and it's a little slow for modern. I understand that you wouldn't want to make this deck too expensive, but adding cards like Remand and Path To Exile will drastically increase your chances of actually getting to your later cards, like venser.

Here is what I would suggest that your counterspell package look like:
4 remand
1-2 Mana leak
1 dispel
1 cryptic command (not entirely necessary, but it is incredibly powerful if you can consistently cast it)
If you don't wanna go all out for CC, you could run Repeal instead. (Bonus: You can bounce your own creatures when you're in need of a flicker effect)

I wouldn't suggest running 4 inquistor exarch. It's not quite strong enough to justify, and it's WW, so it can be a bit of a strain on your 3 color mama base. Maybe go to one or two. If you want to keep that life-gain going you could use Lantern Guide(?) from BFZ for some HUGE life swings. This could easily put you out of range of aggro decks if you get even just two triggers.
On that note, another great addition would be Kitchen Finks. This is a modern staple and is actually quite busted. You can use it to trade with a 3 toughness creature and then blink it back to a 3/2 for a total of 6 life gained (and more to come!)

These are all the suggestions that come to mind right now, perhaps later ill think of some more.

I would recommend playing Ghostly Flicker it works really well alongside Eternal Witness. You are able to target Eternal + another ETB creature, so that you can get the ETB trigger and then return Ghostly Flicker to your hand with Eternal. Being able to reuse Ghostly Flicker over and over may be able to open the deck up a little more because you could cut some of the other "flicker" effects. Both the Arcanist and Witch could be cut because Ghostly could fill the roll of repeatable "flicker" and is harder to interact because it is not a creature.

I would bump up to 4 Eternal to increase your chances of drawing Ghostly + Eternal, and I think you should play a full 4 Thragtusk because that card is busted.

If you target Eternal WItness and another creature with Ghostly Flicker they will both leave and reenter triggering their ETB effects, but will not be put onto the stack until Ghostly Flicker has finished resolving. Once Ghostly Flicker has resolved both the ETB effects will go onto the stack, and Ghostly Flicker will be a legal target for Eternal's ETB effect.
