I imagine there will be quite a few Jace2/Rattlechains decks that will utilize a lot of the same cards. I think my version distinguishes itself in the choice of supports. I feel that Catalog is unnecessary in that Pore Over the Pages already fills that roll better, and MUCH more card draw can be gained from good supports. Corrupted Grafstone is inferior to Choked Estuary in that CE provides specificity of color matching for Jace2 and the delirium effect of potentially changing 6 gems. It's slightly more expensive, which is easily offset by the mana gain focus of my version of the deck. Ongoing Investigation regularly nets 2-3 cards/turn whereas Tamiyo's Journal averages only 1. Fevered Visions provides card draw to the opponent, and provides only limited direct damage. Mind's Dilation hinders the most dangerous counters to this deck, heavy spellcasting decks, and drastically increases the chances of being able to "ignite" Startled Awake chains each turn, and so is more beneficial to the heavy mana needs of clearing a hand every turn and reliably casting Engulf the Shore
