Does a flicker work the way I think it does?

I am talking about two cards here. I have an
Eldrazi Displacer
. I also have an
Avacyn, Angel of Hope
. The question is, in the case of spells such as
Hour of Devastation
, when I don't have any
regenerate
all creature spells in hand, can I use my
Eldrazi Displacer
to
flicker
Avacyn, so that she's gone and then right back, and thus
restore
my creatures'
indestructibility
so that they can survive the
Hour of Devastation
?

Yes, you can
restore
the
indestructibility
by flickering Avacyn after
Hour of Devastation
. But it won't prevent your creatures (at least those that die from 5 damage...) from dying.
I'll try to explain the (impossible) line you'd need:
1.
Hour of Devastation
is cast and goes on the stack
2.
Hour of Devastation
resolves, taking
indestructibility
from your creatures
3. you
flicker
Avacyn in response to
restore
indestructability
4.
Hour of Devastation
resumes resolving dealing its damage.
=> Won't work
You can't
flicker
Avacyn in any way to sneak
indestructibility
back in before your creatures die.

Of course I'm sure I've gone mad. The little man who crawled out of my eye was quite clear on this.

So then my best move is to
flicker
in cards that bring back instants from my hand, or bring back anything, so I can keep
regeneration
functioning until the threat is gone. Thank you.

You could go into phasing out as well.
There are cards like:
Guardian of Faith
(also worth flickering)
Teferi's Protection
Clever Concealment
Though, it'd be a little risky in multiplayer matches since your creatures will phase in just before your own untap step.
Edit:
Also,
regeneration
won't prevent your creatures from dying to -X/-X
shenanigans
.
