Rattlechains deck?

Got lucky today and pulled a Rattlechains. Anyone been successful with building a deck around this guy along with the new EMN card pool? He seems quite expensive, so curious if he's worth basing a deck on.

Startled Awake
Niblis of Frost

Then the usual bounce, card draw, mana denial like Jace or Kiora.

Course Startled is mythic and Niblis is rare, both from the new set.

Tower Geist is your friend.

Rattlechains is best using Jace2 due to that PW's crazy mana production. Just pick your two most efficient spirits (or one other if you have access to Tentacles or Exert influence) and effective 6 mana supports and spells. Here's an Uncommon Rattle deck:

Creatures
Rattlechains
Tower Geist
Nebelghast Herald

Spells
Pore of the pages
Disperse
chilling Grasp

Supports
Retreat to Coralhelm
Trail of Evidence
Sphinx's Tutelage
Ongoing Investigation

It's no powerhouse but it'll get the job done. Just replace with whichever rares and mythics you have:
Tentacles
Exert influence
startled awake
Niblis of Frost
Talent of the telepath
Tamiyo's Journel (a must have for Jace2)
Prism array
Mirrorpool
Shrine of the forsaken gods

Have fun.

I'm using Rattles in a spirits deck with Tezerret.

Rattlechains
Tower Geist
Stormrider Spirit

Prarie Stream
Cave of Koilos
Skyline Cascade
Oath of Jace
Prism Array
Adverse Conditions
Turn to Frog

You can swap around Oath of Jace for Jace's Sanctum and so on if you have better, but this has worked for a while for me. I'm hoping I can replace the Stormrider with a new spirit around the same mana soon.
