Update: Contributions & Reorganization —April 28, 2019
EPICSpider23 came through with a bunch of additions to the ETB-Clone and ETB-Abuse categories. Then when I was adding them, I noticed some cards in the wrong categories so I did a bit of tidying up.
I also defined several categories to better explain them. Plus it was War of the Spark prerelease today so... big day in Magic, all around.
arcorak: Woops, you're totally right. Fixed.
Thanks for noticing. Your modest contribution is appreciated because I look like I know what I'm talking about now, lol! Yay teamwork!

Whip of Erebos could be a candidate for Etb abuse as it combos well with flicker/blink.

Well I know it hasn’t Ben updated in a long time but I think Aminatou, the Fateshifter can be added to the commanders list for blink decks

rivernihilist: Hey, sorry for missing your comment, but thanks for contributing! I added Whip of Erebos , but I'm not sure what I was going for when I made the "ETB-Abuse" category, lol. It looks like just "ETB-spam"... and that could be anything, really. But whatever, maybe that category can be a subjective one of a bunch of cool synergistic cards.
TheDeckMaker2300: You are correct! How'd I miss that? Oh yeah, because I haven't updated this in forever. and justicar's portal is not in the system yet, but when it is, I'll update, thanks!

Rings of Brighthearth isn't an ETB copy device. It only copies activated abilities like Royal Assassin .
The card you're thinking of is Strionic Resonator , which copies triggered abilities.

Master Transmuter can be used as basically pay one blue and flicker an artifact, it just goes to your hand instead of exile. Also fits in the bounce category.

Solid list +1! Planar Guide is another card to add to your list. Also you have Master Transmuter twice.

Gattison I'm glad you like it. My youtube channel does deep dives into old magic sets. That's how I knew about it. If you're interested check out our link posted below. Also Legion's Initiative is another blink card you might want for your list.

ETB Clones: Infinite Reflection , Mirrorpool , Spark Double , Vesuvan Shapeshifter , Body Double , Clever Impersonator , Dack's Duplicate , Evil Twin , Gigantoplasm , Mirror Image , Phantasmal Image , Phyrexian Metamorph , Protean Raider , Quicksilver Gargantuan , Progenitor Mimic , Sakashima the Impostor , Sakashima's Student , Stunt Double , Vizier of Many Faces , Altered Ego , Bramble Sovereign .
Inalla, Archmage Ritualist and Riku of Two Reflections are sorta both ETB Clone and ETB Abuse so put them wherever you wish.
Just some cards, hope that helps.

My modest contribution : You should put Siren's Ruse in the flicker category instead of blink category, don't you think ? And vice versa for Sentinel of the Pearl Trident and Vizier of Deferment (if I get the difference)
