Quick blink question

I'm currently building a [[Hei Bai, Forest Guardian deck]], and I've got a question about end of turn timings.

Say I use [[Abuelo, Ancestral Echo]]'s ability during my turn to exile Hei Bai, and I also have a [[Teleportation Circle]] in play, what happens?

Does Hei Bai enter the battle field twice, or just once?

As far as I know, if there's multiple triggers at once, the player gets to decide in what order they resolve, right? So could I have Hei Bai enter at the start of my end step first, when it was exiled by Abuelo, and than do Teleportation Circle's trigger, to exile and return it again? Which would make sense to me.

Or is there something very specific, where Teleportation Circle doesn't see Hei Bai at the start of my end step, cause it's still exiled? Which...would also make sense to me lol.

A while ago I built my own deck, looking for something with a twist. Came up with legendary/colors matter/monarchy deck. Something with a bit of politicking, that gae struggling players some cards, and me a lot more. Asked for advice on my idea, got told repeatedly it probably wouldn't work. I took some advice to heart, but still wanted to give it a go. The idea...didn't really work. Somewhat, won some games with it, it gave some games pretty fun twists...but it was...not great.

So now I have a pretty expensive 5c land base and bunch of somewhat expensive cards, and I'm kinda looking for an overhaul. And for a cool twist/gameplan. An interesting wincon. I don't play often, but about a month ago me and my regular group played with a guy who...gave (unblockable) creatures with equipment to other players and made them goaded? Which I found hilarious, made for some real unique games.

The deck I built of course has stuff like [[Jodah, the Unifier]] and [[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]], but they kinda do the same thing as two of my other decks, an upgraded Party Time! precon and a creature aura/enchantment deck. Build boards with creatures, and attack. Which...of course is a preeeetty big part of mtg lol, but I'm looking for a play pattern that adds to that.

Ramping, building up to and cheating out big creatures like [[Progenitus]] with stuff like [[Esika, God of the Tree]] and [[Maelstrom Nexus]] still sounds fun to me, since none of my other decks do that. But...it's still stuff with creatures. Is there like a mechanic that benefits from having big ass creatures in play, aside from, or perhaps on top of punching people in the face with them? Looking around 5c decks I came across [[Ziatora, the Incinerator]], which seems fun. Especially since [[Kenrith, the Returned King]] would let me get sacced creatures back into play for five mana.

I added a 'when you gain life, opponents lose life' dimension to my Party Time! deck, and that adds a cool twist.

Does someone happen to have a really fun, unique twist or play pattern for a five color deck? Would be nice if I don't have to completely kill my entire deck, and can stick to some big creatures. If it's a reeeeally cool concept, idea or suggestion though, well, than things have to go 😄

Would be for bracket two, possibly three, btw!
