I have been playtesting this deck alot lately and I really think it's in a veryg good place right now. I am actually taking it to the FNM tonight for the first time. Its pretty much a death and taxes shell then just added more pure value with the creatures. This deck is so much fun and the sideboard could probably use some work but this is what I am playing tonight.
Yeah. I'd like to know also. Looks super spicy. Well done on the design.
Anything you would change about it?
Only suggestion I could possibly think of is maybe add in seance to the deck as a 1 of. But thats just to add some reach. If that is even a thing you need.

Sorry I have been traveling for work, but the deck handled great. I went 2-2 with the deck but the two losses came down to the 3rd game and was super close. This deck is so much fun to play and so versatile, I have made some changes to help speed it up actually. I added noble Hierarch to speed it up a little and less reliant on the aether vial. I am going to be testing the deck this week, I took out the voice of resurgence and put kitchen finks in the sidboard
Well I am going to make it to a FNM this week and I have tinkered with the deck some more by takin out the thraben inspector and cut Eerie interlude so I can add Felidar Guardian and Panharmonicon to the deck. I haven't really tested it yet and the curve may be a little slow but we shall see. The Eerie interlude added tool box skills but I thought panharmonicon is a nice win con to with blinking loop with siege rhino. Here is the deck list:
I love this kind of strategy! if i might suggest you two cards that could be interesting, they are Eldritch evolution and Cloudshift.
In general, the deck seems solid to me, especially the second version, but the mana curve is a bit high and in my opinion you'd need to work a bit on that (i guess you'd need a bit more 1-drops and 2-drops.
Since you added panharmonicon and a mana dork (are you sure birds of paradise isn't better?), i'd take out aether vial as it doesn't seem to me the deck that best uses its effect. Having 23 lands + 4 aether vial is a bit of a nonbo especially if your curve is pretty high. I suggest running 23 lands + 4 mana dorks and free up 4 slots for cloudshift, Eldritch evolution or some other forms of value creatures (i'm thinking about eternal witness, renegade rallier, kitesail freebooter, voice of resurgence etc.).
Also, why did you go with 2 shocklands for each colour combination? given the fact that you run fetchlands, shouldn't 1 of each be enough?
I have used cloudshift in the past and it was great, I just ran out of room and Eerie Interlude allows me to flicker the whole board if needed. I have never thought about eldritch evolution and it seems pretty saucy. I may try that card out a bit, at least 2 in the deck.
So I ended up taking panharmonicon and felidar gaurdian out of the deck, the curve was too high and slowed the deck down. I know the aether vial helps the resilience of the deck but I may cut it to see what happens. It doesn't really speed anything up becuase most of the deck is 3 and 4 count.
Kitesail freebooter is nice for control but I really like the card draw from the elvish visionary offers. Eternal witness and renegade rallier is nice too but then 3cc in the deck is stupid high.
i think the new list is way stronger than the previous ones. I know it feels bad to leave cards like eternal witness behind, but the sheer value that the latest list can generate is frankly impressive - i mean, how many times are you blinking Siege Rhino in a single game?
ah, that manabase seems solid (i like the two horizon canopies a lot, it prevents you from flooding), is there space for a Gavony township in your opinion? Not really synergistic with the blink plan but i can't think of a better land in the abzan colour scheme to generate additional value.
Please, let us know how it turns out to be, and if you find any configuration you think is better!
yeah this deck is pretty solid from playing it on cockatrice. I have gotten the chance to blink a rhino multiple times its solid when it has to get around leyline of sanctity if it played in the opponents deck. Sometimes I miss the aether vial but it is a hit or miss to be honest. When having it drawn late game is rough when you want vaule
I think I am going to try this deck back out at my FNM this week if I can get the card Knight of Autumn before Friday. I was wondering if anyone else has tried a deck like this or been thinking of a deck like this. I have been thinking making G/W or Bant colors may be better or G/W/R.
I just wanted to say I went 4-0 with this deck this past week and it ran so good but it could definitely use some tinkering to make it run better.
I player 8 rack (2-0), Jund (2-0), goblins (2-1) and tron(2-0). With the ability of flashing in flikerwisp to help control the board, the evasion of eerie interlude on board wipes, the amount of card draw plus looping eerie interlude with internal shaman is so sick. The kiki-jiki is a nice touch for another win con but I don't want this to be a kiki-jiki chord deck. I want it to be a fun blink deck that is FNM competitive but seeing how this deck ran through these deck it makes me think there is more potential to it. I am thinking G/W value town blink could be sitting in a good spot.
Congrats on the 4-0, that's awesome. That's the great thing about the Kiki include though. You're NOT a Kiki/Chord deck. The fact that you can be slowly gaining advantage in a game, and then "Oops I win" is a very powerful spot to be in today's Modern. Keep tooling with the list, I'd like to see it stay Naya with the Kiki finish in it. Don't forget that Huntmaster of the Fells is one of the best grind cards for a deck like this. I'd play at least 1 in the 75.
(Also, You should definitely play at LEAST one more R source in your land base. Perhaps a Sacred Foundry or Rugged Prairie since you are primarily W in payoff and devotion spells.)
I am thinking I going to try this deck variant tomorrow night, I have messed with the land base and added a few different cards. I am still unsure about the sideboard but this will do for now.

Happy brewing!
Kiki-jiki would be fun with the blinking part of the deck
Also, you basically just replace Aether Vial with Collected Company or eldritch evolution. Depends on which "card advantage/accelerant" you prefer to use.
I'd like to try aether vial first, just because I like the ability to flash creatures in on my opponents turn.
Here is a kiki-jiki version I could try. I have all the cards for the deck if I wanted to go this route.
