Rules Q&A
- Flickering Uro
- Can you use Ephemerate to cheat in a manifested non-creature card the same way you can with Cloudshift?
- What happens if Skyclave apparition re-enters the battlefield before it's first trigger resolves.
- If I blink a card: Cemetery Illuminator what happens with the previously exiled cards?
- Interaction between Pantlaza, Sun-Favored and Ephemerate
Ephemerate
Instant
Exile target creature you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

I second the suggestion of Conjurer's Closet, but also Displacer Kitten, Eldrazi Displacer, and maybe some other flicker effects like Cloudshift, Ephemerate, or Flicker.
You could also run some "exiled cards matter" themed pieces since your commander can exile things from the graveyard. Riftsweeper seems like an interesting insert, though maybe not the best option. Riftsweeper is, however, hilarious against Suspend decks

Wow! What great suggestions, jessesl66! It's been a while since I got suggestions so good! While I get what you're saying about cutting white, I really like Burning-Tree Emissary with Ephemerate and, I should have added this to the Hubs before, but this is meant to be geared toward multiplayer matchups where removal is more frequent and having a response more important. I'm a little less convinced with Fable of the Mirror-Breaker Flip because it doesn't have a double red MV (not as helpful towards devotion) and the one thing it really helps with (essentially doing the same thing as Ephemerate) takes a lot more mana to cast and time to get to. I'm definitely going to add Burning-Tree Emisary though, and I might fork this deck again to play with Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. Thanks so much!

Love me some Allies! Nice! +1
Raise the Past might be worth considering - 4MV to hit so many creatures is just value town.
Ephemerate seems like it would be nice, especially with Tocasia's Welcome, which would probably draw you enough cards to be worth the slightly higher MV than Sign in Blood and slower, more conditional requirements. Sword-Point Diplomacy might be worth considering, too. And given how few dual lands you're running, I might opt for Night's Whisper over Sign in Blood. While technically you can kill an opponent with a Sign in Blood, I think in practice we almost never do. But we do often not have BB to cast a Sign in Blood when we need it most.

I'm so glad/grateful you're not offended by my urge to have a back and forth!
Ephemerate would be another somewhat decent way to trigger to Tocasia's Welcome and it plays nicely with Soul Sisters. The fact that you lack any creatures with their own ETB triggers is why I didn't suggest it earlier.
Also, I had to look this up to remember the exact name of the spell and what it did, but maybe Assemble the Players would be more to your taste? It's 1 more MV to cast than Recruitment Officer but it's WAY cheaper to 'activate' and gets you every creature in your deck, albeit only once per turn. It's just a little sad there's no cheap way in mono-white to give your creatures flash! The best I could find was Emergence Zone (only works once - boooo!) and Vedalken Orrery (too much to cast!)
Another removal option to consider: Sheltered by Ghosts - I don't like that it's 2MV to cast, but lifelink and ward seem well aligned with your brew. (and it doesn't give opponents a land, so there's that upside, too)

This is an invested list. I'm foremost, super happy to see this level of understanding. I'll explain myself with a question.
Do you feel like there's just an insurmountable amount of cards that NEVER stand the chance to see play in EDH? For one reason or another, cards that fundamentally don't belong in a traditionally built format like EDH, where one of everything. Well?
Cards like this, and for example, Doubling Chant, Echoing Courage, and the like are very explosive, unheard of, and wouldn't be of use otherwise.. if not for Hare Apparent.
My commentary is mostly gonna be brief because I see you stand on your bidness and perform well, but in a few bullet points..
-
put Pearl Medallion back in, you'll like feel better with around 32 or 33 copies of the Hare Apparent. It's a numbers game when you're going to overwhelm like this, pun not intended.
-
I really appreciate your sense of proper, consistent play. The blink effects are cool, so maybe slot Ephemerate, and other spells like that.
-
You have next to no Instants in the deck, so a lot of what's happening is just ignoring removal/spot removal. Maybe include things like Get Lost, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Swift Reconfiguration, Shelter, etc.
-
I respect and see what you're going for here, and have decks similar in design and heads pace. I really like decks with large numbers like that! A very specific and curious concept, no matter what colors you're using. I'm gonna insert deck tags for my comment so you can go find the lists.
-
the first one is more stax focused (Ursavus) and happens to be really particular about it's execution- it happened to be a lot of fun in play testing.

Since you already have a full set of Ashling, Braid of Fire seems like a possible addition here. While I think you're running an awful lot of Instant spells for a Devotion deck, you would be able to cast those spells with mana from Braid of Fire during your upkeep if you didn't already have Ashling in play.
I decided Fanatic of Mogis looked like a fun card to brew around, so I put together my own Red Devotion brew. I also decided that splashing white for both blink spells (I went with Ephemerate) as well as recursion spells (I went with Late to Dinner) seemed worth it. Since you've already opted to include fetch lands, it seems like it would be easy enough to swap 4 of those for Arid Mesa and add a couple Sacred Foundrys.
You can check out what I've put together if you feel so inclined. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I think it's got potential to be decent. Devoted Fans

I'll do my best; I haven't played Green/White together as much as I used to, especially stuff that's more focused on life gain. If you're interested in some suggestions for life gain and Green/White adjacent strats, I'd tap in with Tsukimi; they love Bant.
-
One thing that I noticed is that you seem a bit split on life gain and +1/+1 counter support. Based on your description, it sounds like you're more interested in the counter support to send counters around. For this reason, I think that maybe cutting out most or some of the life gain support could focus those slots a bit more. Focusing in on a primary strategy could help alleviate some of that clunkiness.
-
Since Marwen gets her Indestructible counters when she ETBs, maybe a small Blink package of Ephemerate, Eerie Interlude, & Semester's End could be added to facilitate that.
-
I'd recommend checking out Grasp of Fate as a potential swap with Banishing Light. For EDH, I like to have a mix of non-board wipe/multi-target removal to supplement the wipes & single target stuff when possible. They're not Elves, but Druid of Purification and Bronzebeak Foragers are also solid options in that vein.
-
Since Elves tend to crap out bodies, Aura Shards is another great repeatable removal option for a deck like this.
-
Idk if you have a specific budget in mind, but I'd recommend checking out Kodama of the West Tree and Roaming Throne as strong good stuff support pieces.
I know you mostly dabble with Modern, but I'm not sure if you've heard of or used EDHRec before? It's a helpful starting point to see what are some commonly utilized cards for various deck archetypes for each commander.
