Generally, you should be lowering your curve to make room for the new walkers. As I said before, I also think Search for Azcanta kind of became obsolete with Narset being printed.
I haven't looked at Nahiri for a while, but new cards like Narset and Force of Negation would definitely slide in that deck.
Would there be room for Little Teferi? If you are going Nahiri + FoN, throw in 8 Bolts + Snap + Little Teferi and the deck practically builds itself as a tap out Control/Combo deck.
Throw GoST in the side for those games against Tron, and you are off to the races imo.
EDIT: This may actually be the deck I keep around, for ease of swapping to 'real control' with Big Teferi, Breach Combo, and Kiki-Resto...
Why is everyone going to MTG Nexus? Is that where this site is transferring or just bailing?
They put a lot of work into getting the site going when it still seemed liks mtgs would just be gone instead of bought over. I want to put in some support because I would like it to take off.

Little Tef fits very well with Nahiri I'd say. semi-timewalks like Remand, Timely Reinforcements and liltef's -3 can be really devastating with Nahiri ticking up. On top of that, liltef can bounce things like Ensnaring Bridge or Grafcage, and stops most instant speed interaction against Emrakul (most notably Cryptic Command).
EDIT: Now you got me thinking about it, Nahiri is also an excellent way to make use of narrow answer cards like Rest in Peace; just bin it in matchups where you don't need it. I'll wait until the ban announcement, but you got me interested in brewing Nahiri again.
Hogaak barely got any time in the sun and it wasn't like jeskai has been such an influential archetype so there wasn't much that a ban could influence to begin with. The main thing will be that now other Horizon cards get to shine a bit more, most notably Giver of Runes and Scale Up. And in those matchups, being a ball of spot removal like Jeskai is has its benefits.
Now STM is free and the slow down of unfair decks. Do you think a jeskai tempo deck could be good positioned? i was thinking in a creature pack like 4x snapcaster mage 4x STM 4xSpell Queller 1xVendilion clique and the removal pack 4xbolt 2x helix 4x path and counters + cantrips

Maybe nahiri again? or shaeli combo?
Nahiri + Emrakul together with SFM + equipment will be too much clunk I think
what is your opinion on Stoneforge Mystic? Do you want to include her in your list?
I am thinking a lot about how to beat the SMF and Urza decks and think that Shenanigans might be a good idea in the Side, We can draw it again and again lategame with our walkers and it is good against the few Equipment and can also be used against Urza.
As a finisher, I am thinking of adding the new big Chandra. The plus ability is awesome and is hard to answer for UW decks.
The new Fry would also be a consideration.
In terms of Maindeck answers Spell Snare seems to be great again. Wrenn and Six, Goyf, SFM, Assassins Trophy, Thopter Foundry, ...
I just tested yesterday at FNM. Spell Snare as a 2 of in the Main Overperformed. I actually wanted to have it in hand every single Matchup.
Shenanigans out of the Side was great. Unless they have Force, they can't really answer it with Counterspells (Or Discard if they play a Esper List).
I wasnt able to test Fry so far, I dont really face Control in my local Meta.
Did anybody else test some new cards/ sideboard strats?
In other news, I updated the primer for mtgnexus: https://www.mtgnexus.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=195
I expect to mostly post there about jeskai if it takes off

Has anyone considered this card at all? Each bolt turns into 4 dmg and if ticked down does 8 dmg per.
