This is a blink deck!

By using Roon of the Hidden Realm, Deadeye Navigator, Brago, King Eternal, Nephalia Smuggler, Venser, the Sojourner, Contagion Engine, Voidwalk , Flickerform , or Cloudshift, I can blink whatever creatures I want to off the battlefield so when they re-enter, their ETB effects will trigger again.This helps to get life gain or spawn multiple golem creatures and let their splicers' (or Golem Artisan ) give them great ability combinations. Asceticism helps the splicers and blink engines from being directly targeted and destroyed.

Of course, I can always use those blink engines to send my opponent's creatures off the battlefield before attacking as well. And if there is another pesky permanent that is causing more trouble than a given creature, Glimmerpoint Stag or Flickerwisp can be blinked in order to blink that permanent out for a turn.

I would have never thought to build a deck like this, but purchasing Evasive Maneuvers and then playing it to find out what I liked most about it created this brainchild. Now that I've built it, it's so much fun to play!
