A "Blink" Deck tag

I finally got started working on my Emiel EDH deck and I am ordering the final pieces of the beta version of it before I start playtesting it in about a year from now when game stores can do open play again, but I noticed there is no "blink" or "flicker" or a "phase out" tags for our decks. Can we get that? Because Flicker or whatever codename you prefer to call it is a major on and off again deck type and I am surprised that zoo is in there but not flicker.

Phasing would not be covered by the keyword, as if is fundamentally different. Blinking and flickering involve a change of zone, triggering enter and leave battlefield effects; phasing has no zone change and does not implicate the effects that are at the core of a flicker deck.

That said, I think flickering/blinking is a common enough archetype that it should have a tag.

I mean, if you assemble cards together to blink and recur their ETB, this falls within the domain of a combo deck would it not?

Maybe have different combo tags with () after combo then? I do not see an y problems with flat out adding Flicker/Blink outright though.
