Preston Flicker/Clone Value Town.

Flicker and clone your Cantripping creatures (6x) to draw lots of cards. Welcoming Vampire and Rumor Gatherer are great engines to clone. Skullclamp can squeeze value out of your post-etb Illusions. Endless Atlas and War Room are just nice non-creature slow draw engines.

Flickering and cloning lord type creatures can buff your illusions up to become a decent threat. Intrepid Adversary scales to whatever point in the game you are. Angel of Invention gives us the option to make even more tokens upon etb or a 2/3 Flyer Lord Token.

Thanks to the Legend Rule, flickering Ao, the Dawn Sky gives us pretty great value. We will usually sack the token, unless you've got some other shenanigans at play such as Gift of Immortality.

Remember that in a pinch Fiend Hunter or Aerial Extortionist can get you Preston Triggers.

Guardian of Faith is a great way to protect your creatures and tokens from almost any instant speed threat. You won't get ETBs when your guys re-enter but it will keep your team safe.

Stonewall combat decks with Stonehorn Dignitary and Forbidding Spirit and even Selfless Squire.

Phyrexian Revoker is decent hate piece and can be flickered to adapt to current threats or cloned to handle multiple threats.

Hallowed Spiritkeeper is a cute token maker. At around 45 creatures in the deck it's not unreasonable to get a few in the graveyard and get decent value via sacking or blocking with his clones.

Combo Time:

Preston + Felidar Guardian + Quick Flicker = Up to infinite ETBs of any permanents you have as well as infinite 0/1 illusions.

By tapping mana between flickering your lands you can float as much mana as you need to get some things done depending on your current board state or hand. At this point minimum you can usually exile every non-land permanent your opponents control with your mana, tokens and Preston's activated ability.

With a single cantripping creature on board you pretty much have your deck at your disposal and the means to play it (Infinite Mana).

With a Sunscorched Desert on the board we can turn those infinite flickers into a direct and straightforward win condition for any player that isn't Hexproof.

Idyllic Grange can pump your existing creatures to lethal levels.

Anointed Procession / Mondrak for token doubling and Panharmonicon for trigger doubling math:

Preston + Anointed Procession / Mondrak = 2 Tokens and 2 Triggers Total

Preston + Anointed + Mondrak = 4 Tokens and 4 Triggers Total

Preston + Panharmonicon / Elesh Norn = 2 Tokens and 4 Triggers Total

Preston + Panharmonicon / Elesh + Anointed Procession = 4 Tokens and 8 Triggers Total

Preston + Panharmonicon + Elesh Norn = 3 Tokens and 9 Triggers Total

Preston + Panharmonicon / Elesh Norn + Anointed + Mondrak = 8 Tokens and 16 Triggers Total

Preston + Panharmonicon + Elesh Norn + Anointed/Mondrak = 6 tokens and 18 Triggers Total

Preston + All the Above = 12 Tokens and 32 Triggers Total.
