Flickering is the nickname for exiling something, then returning it to the battlefield. When you "flicker" a permanent, it's treated as a new card that just entered the battlefield. The mechanic appears on white and blue, and on artifacts. "Flickering" removes all counters and auras from a creature, and makes it dodge targeted removal if a spell "flickering" that creature is played in response to the removal spell targeting it. [1]
