The problem I've found with this archetype is all its enablers are 3 CMC+ and requires either a green mana dork pairing or a white aggressive shell (UW tempo) in order to really function in a competitive environment.
There are edge cases where the drafter has several efficient removal spells/ Force of Will/ Solitude that the deck is quick enough.
I've noticed every single Flicker deck in Modern and Legacy has Aether Vial - Its a narrow card, but I'm more or less seeing it as a necessary enabler for this archetype.

I've never played with Ephemerate, but I could see it being worth testing if your drafters are interested in it. At 360, my current blinkers are Charming Prince, Flickerwisp, Ordinary Pony, Restoration Angel, Parallax Wave, Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, and Soulherder.
