Flicker Spell
Instant- or sorcery-speed blink effects that exile one or more creatures you control and return them to the battlefield, either immediately or at end of turn, retriggering enters-the-battlefield abilities. Includes Ephemerate, Cloudshift, Ghostly Flicker, Momentary Blink, and mass-self-blink like Ghostway and Eerie Interlude. Distinct from flicker.flicker_permanent, which is the same effect stapled to artifacts, enchantments, or creatures for repeatable use, and from the ETB-creature siblings flicker.etb_value, flicker.etb_token, flicker.etb_damage, and flicker.etb_removal, which are the targets these spells aim at rather than the spells themselves. Bounce-to-hand effects are excluded since the creature does not return to the battlefield.
