Starting out, this deck plays like any other. Your early creatures, Augury Owl and Wall of Omens, will start up the library top decking manipulation and extra early game card draw. Don't be shy casting your Remands and Path to Exile early, you will be getting them back later in the game with Archeomancer.
Upon turn three or four, you should have several other creatures in your hand, the real workhorses of the deck. When Flickerwisp comes into play, it can remove a creature from the game till the current turn is over. Flickering the Flickerwisp can make it return into play at the end of your turn, which then can exile an opponent's creature till the end of their turn, making it unable to attack.
The other flying creature of the deck is Galepowder Mage is capable of attacking and doing the same, removing creatures from the board, both your opponent's to allow for unblocked damage or your own which can trigger more come into play effects to your benefit.
Venser, the Sojourner the namesake of the deck, can net you additional flicker effects. Eventually, he can do even more, making your creatures unblockable or granting you game ending exile effects on his ultimate.
The match can grind down in two different ways. First, you can Cast Stonehorn Dignitary and manage to flicker it over and over. Doing so makes it impossible for your opponent to attack which results in your cherry picking damage at will with multiple flying creatures. The second way to win is flickering the previously mentioned Archeomancer to retrieve Remands and Path to Exiles repeatedly to clear the board of any potential threats.
Keep several things in mind while playing this deck. What you have in play is valuable to you. If your opponent targets it for removal, don't be afraid to flicker it with spells like Momentary Blink or Turn to Mist. This removes the targeting of the spell from the creature and saves it from detrimental effects. Also remember that other permanents can be targeted by your flicker effects, like Temple of Enlightenment, Sejiri Refuge, Halimar Depths or even Detention Sphere. Whatever you can do to grind the game into a stall.
Other cards that could improve the deck to your tastes are Restoration Angel, Fiend Hunter, Blade Splicer and Wrath of God type board sweeper spells.
The Venser Flicker deck is currently $132 and is a bit more expensive than most budget decks you have seen here in the past. It's an enjoyable and synergistic deck and tan take on most higher tier kitchen table decks. In a tournament environment the deck can take some weaker rogue decks but is a step or two slow against the gambit of top tier decks.
