Flickering with Cloudshift exiles a creature and returns that card to the battlefield regardless of if the card is still a creature or not.

Does flickering with Ephemerate work the same way or does the manifested card remail exiled because Ephemerate expects a creature to be returned to the battlefield?

I like what Abzan is capable over Jund this list seems to be pulling too much from Jund play style for me though. Have you considered using white or even some green to have more interaction? Cards like Abrupt Decay, Abzan Charm, Eldritch Evolution and Murderous Cut come to mind. Some good creatures you could play around with as well even if only as a Sideboard option for some match ups Cloudshift for protection/extra ETB's, Kitchen Finks, and Orzhov Pontiff.

Say someone used Assassin's Trophy on one of my creatures and I used Momentary Blink or Cloudshift on my creature in response. Would the blink save my creature from the destroy permanent effect?

I’m glad psionictemplar mentioned the specificity of Bane Alley Broker’s rulings. It prompted me to look it up in Gatherer and yup...they’re right. So I definitely agree with Templar in that if you’re designing the deck to revolve primarily around the Broker, you’re going to want as much protection as you can afford card slots for. Hexproof/Shroud are good as was mentioned; so is preemptive protection in the form of removal (Doomblade etc). Be wary of blinking him, he’ll become a new object upon reentry and you’ll lose the exiled card(s). Cloudshift type spells are to be avoided.

Balaam__ That's a good point. I put in Flicker of Fate just as a generic response to opponents' enchantments like The Ozolith or Ominous Seas, but that's pretty niche. Cloudshift could be useful if you cast Stormwild Capridor or Brash Taunter before Marauding Raptor and you want to get that damage onto those creatures.

Nice build. Unless I’ve overlooked a specific interaction, I think you might want to consider replacing Flicker of Fate with Cloudshift. You don’t have any enchantments in this deck as of right now, (and I’m assuming you’ll be flickering your own creature and not the opponent’s) so Cloudshift is the all around better card for the job.

• Celestial Mantle
• Steel of the Godhead
• Lightning Greaves (her ability doesn't target, and if you need to enchant her, just move the greaves over to something else)
• Dovin's Veto
• Divine Reckoning
• Open the Vaults
• Curator's Ward
• Sigil of the Empty Throne
• Shielded by Faith
• Angelic Destiny (I f-ing love this card)

Flicker or blink effects can work very well to defend Bruna too. eg:

• Essence Flux
• Cloudshift
• Flickerform

Aquamoeba can help you discard all your auras so you can equip them for free. So can Cephalid Inkshrouder.

If you want to discard and gain something in return (you greedy git) you have things like these:

• Chamber of Manipulation
• Dream Trawler
• Key to the City
• Mindless Automaton
• Pegasus Refuge

These are but mere suggestions for stuff you may want to consider!

I have added some changes that address your concerns, hopefully this is a step in the correct direction. I added Cloudshift back in, along with all the cards you stated other than Spirit of the Labyrinth just to see how the deck feels. I will add it of course, if the deck feels like it wants/ needs it!
