Another Eldrazi Displacer deck that has lots of sweet interactions is a White/Black Hatebears deck piloted to a 5-0 record by Dr_Stein in an MTGO Modern League:

The typical Hatebears shell is basically AEther Vial, Path to Exile, Leonin Arbiter, Ghost Quarter, and a bunch of creatures with abilities that make life difficult for its opponent. I've had success with Green/White variants, but that's not the only promising direction to go with the archetype. Black offers Tidehollow Sculler and Wasteland Strangler which work really well together and have lots of synergy in the deck as a whole.

On the second turn you can play Tidehollow Sculler and exile a card from the opponent's hand. Then the following turn you can put the exiled card into their graveyard with Wasteland Strangler to kill their creature. Thought-Knot Seer is essentially a larger Tidehollow Sculler, but it works the same way with Wasteland Strangler. Another awesome interaction with Wasteland Strangler is when you exile an opposing permanent with Flickerwisp and then use Wasteland Strangler to move it into their graveyard (while also giving one of their creatures -3/-3). The card will remain in the graveyard and never flicker back since it is no longer in the exile zone.

As further ways to fuel Wasteland Strangler, the deck runs four Path to Exile and a Relic of Progenitus. Eldrazi Displacer won't be able to provide fodder for Wasteland Strangler by itself, but it can in conjunction with Tidehollow Sculler, Thought-Knot Seer, or Flickerwisp. Each of these cards work well with Eldrazi Displacer anyway even if you don't have Wasteland Strangler. Wasteland Strangler also works well with Eldrazi Displacer because you can blink Wasteland Strangler to give a creature -3/-3 again, assuming the opponent has another card in exile to process.

Between Leonin Arbiter, Ghost Quarter, and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, this deck can really pressure the opponent's mana. Between Tidehollow Sculler and Thought-Knot Seer it can really pressure their cards in hand. And between Flickerwisp, Eldrazi Displacer, Path to Exile, and Wasteland Strangler, it can make it difficult for the opponent to progress their board with creatures. This is a solid deck that Chokes the opponent's development from multiple axes while also pressuring their life total with a variety of cost-efficient attackers. I might replace the Relic of Progenitus with a 23rd land, but other than that the deck looks pretty great as is. I might also try and work some Lingering Souls and a Zealous Persecution or Orzhov Pontiff into the sideboard somehow.
