U/W/G blink standard, maybe splashing. Current list:
4x Eldrazi Displacer
3x Icefall Regent
2x Linvala, the Preserver
4x Reflector Mage
2x Archangel Avacyn
?x Crumbling Vestige
?x Mirrorpool
2x Canopy Vista
2x Prairie Stream
?x Dragonlord Ojutai
4x Yavimaya Coast
4x Sylvan Advocate
3x Bounding Krasis
3x Eerie Interlude
4x Declaration in Stone
Some Immolating Glares.
Maybe a couple Make a Stand just in case avacyn flips...
Sideboarding Dispels for Hallowed Moonlight.
Or Gideons? Archangel of Tithes? Ojutai's Command? Harbinger of the Tides?
Should I include scion producers to trigger avacyn when I want to?
If any new cards are spoiled or you notice anything I've overlooked for this deck, let me know here.
Thanks, Lotrboom28. That's definitely something to consider.

I think with what you would want to do is make all of your creatures have good abilities to make it worth blinking them. Reflector Mage is a good example of having a strong ability. A creature that doesn't have an ETB effect that seems worth blinking is Dragonlord Ojutai. Swing with it, and then after it hits, blink it to have it untapped with Hexproof.
I think what you should do is splash Green. You are then open to Bounding Krasis, Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip and instead of playing Crumbling Vestige you can play Yavimaya Coast.

I definitely agree, I was considering green for the Bounding Krasis, and, actually, Sylvan Advocate. I kept the dragonlord because he's a good beater that can be flickered for hexproof, but if you think he should be taken out, let me know.

Only reason I think she could be dropped is if you plan to use Collected Company to get Eldrazi Displacer/other aggressive creatures. In my eyes, the deck basically will probably play like the Bant Company deck does now, but will take full advantage of Eldrazi Displacer instead. Dragonlord Ojutai also in my opinion seems a little worse than Icefall Regent. The ability on it makes it hard to remove so it makes them take nearly a complete turn to remove it, and you tap down multiple things. Play it and tap a creature, during your next turn, swing with it or if you have more power on the ground; you can just blink the Dragon and tap down their other blocker and swing on the ground instead.

I don't think I'll be using CoCo if I'm using Avacyn, Linvala, or Icefall.

Is avacyn a good choice for this deck, or am I just getting overhyped bc she's rly cool?
