Do you have a reliable source of toys for Rarity and Applejack?

Outside of the MLP cards, Unicorns kind of have a +1/+1 counter theme with Emiel the Blessed, Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, and Good-Fortune Unicorn. Lathiel and Celestial Unicorn tie that to life gain, with Splendor Mare and Brightmare offering further options there. There's also a little bit of ETB that Emiel can set up.

Horses don't have much of a unified theme or depth. Pick from these as needed, I guess.

Adding in Pegasi, they all have flying to help Rainbow Dash, but that's about it. Park Heights Pegasus plays well with Emiel.

The creature base looks very -heavy, with in second. There's not a ton of independent token depth. Group hug would be very on-theme, but my crippling lack of knowledge about the franchise prevents me from offering any thematic suggestions. Legendary creatures matter could work here. Do you want to get Princess Twilight Sparkle out every game, or just use her as support when needed?

Welcome to cEDH! Is there a reason for not having Emiel the Blessed for dockside combos. Also, is there another card that combos with Kiki instead of Felidar Guardian? I was wondering if having a Village Bell-Ringer or Restoration Angel would be helpful in the deck.

I mean there were 9 cards that require for casting and 20 cards with abilities that require released in BFZ block. It wasn't totally Eldrazi Displacer. However Displacer is the most prevalent one I see used and thought it would be a good example to use. It is already the second best repeatable blink source in the game behind Emiel the Blessed and is the best available for non-green decks. If producing colorless was trivial (which it was under the old rule) it would just be the absolute best blink source and would probably be good enough to run in decks that aren't dedicated blink decks.

scotchtapedsleeves Haha, sorry if I bugged you, but I'm glad I convinced you! From the times I've played this deck, it runs pretty well. Not competitive, but it ramps out easily and can get a lot onto the field quickly. Plus, not a lot of people I play with see Emiel the Blessed and hear the warning bells go off. Katilda, Dawnhart Prime performed well, but more importantly it was fun to play :).

I originally built this deck as a lower power deck to have around just in case, but then I never really encountered a chance to play it, so I gave it a big tune up, but still didn't want it to be too powerful. Cards like Cathar Commando can basically be 3 mana for a Naturalize, which definitely isn't a fast or optimal method for removal, but creature based removal works well when you've got cards like Kyler, Sigardian Emissary or Cathars' Crusade that care about creatures/Humans ETBing. I could probably afford to cut a few creatures in favor of more noncreature removal, but until I've played with it for a while, I won't know what's worth keeping/cutting

Wow this deck has some unexpected horsepower. What do you think of Emiel the Blessed? It makes infinite colorless with Workhorse.

Riding the Dilu Horse could be another thematic way to present lethal with Jegantha.

Some others you might like: Sundering Growth, Thundermare, Verity Circle, Tithe, Phantom Steed, Corpse Knight, Lu Xun, Scholar General, Capture of Jingzhou

DrukenReaps on Need ideas for a flicker …

I would recommend just starting with EDHRec's Blink Theme page. I know it's maybe an obvious suggestion full of obvious cards but it'll give you a baseline to work from with few outright 'bad' options imo. https://edhrec.com/themes/blink

Adventure seemed like a neat idea but when they printed things like Rosethorn Acolyte.... I dunno, maybe there are some worthwhile? This one definitely isn't.

Emiel the Blessed would be solid, another great option would be Kodama of the East Tree.

If I may though. Since you're making a custom card here as the commander I'd recommend the commander have the ability to flicker/blink the other cards in the deck rather than necessarily being the target itself. There are 100s of cards with ETB and LTB triggers but only so many cards which blink a target or multiple targets.

So my own suggestion would be to remove Winnie the Pooh's ETB ability and put something like-

Sacrifice 2 food tokens: Exile target permanent until the end of the turn.

Or something along those lines. This is still flavorful to Winnie, he needs to eat before he adventures with a friend of course. This is just my suggestion due to a lack of blink effects compared to ETB effects. Take it or leave it as you choose.
