Jeskai deck I've been working on that gradually transformed into a blinking fliers deck, with nine anthem effects for flyers main board, which includes ultimating the three Gideons.

This deck makes great use of Eldrazi Displacer, not only allowing you to play at instant speed with much of the deck, but also offering great blink synergies. Not only do you get Archangel Avacyn + Eldrazi Displacer , Eldrazi Displacer + Reflector Mage , and the blinkable alternative to Hangarback Walker, Eldrazi Displacer + Whirler Rogue , but you can also side in Linvala, the Preserver

I almost don't want red at all anymore, but Fevered Visions and red removal are still useful cards imo.

Fighting effectively against decks like GW Tokens and CoCo requires you to respond at instant speed frequently in my opinion, hence the importance of countermagic, though this does leave the deck more vulnerable to aggro. And while sweepers do lots of work for you, they are only so effective against the board rebuilding power in Tokens and Collected Company.

This list felt really challenging to build and I'm not sure it is really optimal yet. I'm still on the fence about main deck Radiant Flames and/or Seismic Rupture ; the sweeper utility is good, but the other synergies in this deck feel weaker to me if I change anything. Perhaps Jeskai rather than just Izzet or Azorius is even too greedy. Fresh eyes, and comments, are appreciated!
