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.
