Is this build Tier 1, I don't know. Is this a playable deck containing most of my favorite cards except from Séance? Yes!

There's something about activating the vial (as a bluff) to see if people will respond to it, right? how does that work and how does the stack work here? example with Phyrexian Unlife in Ad Nauseam..

Very Important: Flickerwisp Tricks:

Hardcasting Tricks:

  1. Hardcast it to flicker a Thraben Inspector, Bladesplicer, Kitchen Finks or a "used" Windbrisk Heights mostly.
  2. Hardcast it targeting another Flickerwisp or Restoration Angel you own so that you can exile your opponents permanents in the end step which means that they won't come back until the next end step.
  3. Hardcast it to remove a blocker.
  4. Hardcast it to untap one of your creatures after combat. If you target a Restoration Angel or Flickerwisp you can untap the angel plus the creature that you flicker with the angel/wisp.
  5. Hardcast it targeting your Journey to Nowhere to switch targets
  6. Hardcast it to remove tokens permanently
  7. Hardcast it on your own land to untap it at the end of turn..
  8. Hardcast it targeting a permanent with counters on to remove them or reset the loyalty counters on a planeswalker.
  9. Hvis man mangler et godt target at flicker kan det i nogle tilfælde være smart at holde et flickerwisp loop kørende, hvor man spiller en wisp exiler en anden wisp eller engel som så kommer tilbage i endstep og flicker den første wisp, som så kan flicker den anden wisp/engel igen, og sådan kan man blive ved hver tur.

Vial Tricks:

Remember: Restoration Angel can also activate your Flickerwisps etb effect at instant speed!

  1. Many of the tricks above also works here.
  2. Vial it in on your end step to remove one of their lands (or another permanent) for their whole turn (works better with a mana-denial strategy).
  3. Vial it in to stop an attacking creature.
  4. Vial it in response to their removal spell to save your creature.
  5. Vial it in to save your chump blocker. 5b. Vial it in to save Thalia, Guardian of Thraben or a first strike creature after it has already done its damage.
  6. The most complicated interaction. Vial it in to abuse the hell out of Mangara of Corondor, Oblivion Ring, Tidehollow Sculler, Journey to Nowhere, etc. Here's how (with oblivion ring as an example):

a. Cast Oblivion Ring. b. With it's exile trigger on the stack (targeting, say, a Tarmogoyf), activate Aether Vial.

stack = 1. exile SGC (O-ring trigger) 2. Vial activation

c. Vial resolves. Vial in the Flickerwisp. Put its ability on the stack targeting your own Oblivion Ring.

stack = 1. exile GoyfC 2. exile O-ring (wisp trigger)

d. Flickerwisp's ability resolves exiling Oblivion Ring. Oblivion Ring's second ability goes on the stack.

stack = 1. exile Goyf 2. return Goyf (O-ring trigger)

e. Oblivion Ring's second ability resolves, returning the Tarmogoyf to the battlefield, which, of course never left in the first place - so nothing happens.

stack = 1. exile SGC

f. Oblivion Ring's first ability then resolves, exiling Tarmogoyf permanently (since the return trigger already resolved).

g. At the beginning of your end step, Flickerwisp's delayed trigger returns Oblivion Ring to the battlefield, exiling another nonland permanent as normal.

This also works for the other stuff mentioned above.
