Rivera Santiago.

I currently like Jeskai as an archetype better than Grixis in this metagame, but this is due to Path to Exile being miles better than Terminate in this over-saturated aggressive context. Goblin Dark-Dwellers really doesn’t fit into that type of strategy (eight one-drop removal spells) which is what I’m going after if I’m pursuing Jeskai.

You can definitely play Goblin-Dark Dwellers alongside these spells, I’ve just found that having a Kolaghan’s Command or something in the graveyard as a “fail-state” for when we haven’t found Ancestral Vision to give us options. Jeskai tends to be pretty creature light, but maybe the creature heavy versions that play Restoration Angel wouldn’t mind playing one of him.

Really, in that slot Sphinx’s Revelation might play nicer with the rest of your deck, but they’re close enough that I think you’d be fine going either way. Try it out and tell me what you think!

Glad to see a home for Thalia’s Lieutenant (that became an instant pet card of mine as soon as it was spoiled), and it’s interesting to see that control is back (although I agree with you in that neither of the lists you found were particularly impressive). One question that I think has to be asked is whether Jeskai can make use of the Goblin Dark-Dwellers + Ancestral Vision synergy you featured in your Grixis preview last week. Do you think it’s worth a try? I’m leaning that way.
