About Rackling

Rackling, Artifact creature — phyrexian construct, designed by D. Alexander Gregory first released in Feb, 2000 in the set Nemesis. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.25.

A deck focused on hand disruption and forcing opponents to have few cards in hand, such as a discard or control deck, would benefit from including Rackling. While Rackling can be a strong addition to such a strategy, there are potentially better cards like The Rack or Shrieking Affliction that can consistently deal damage based on the opponent's hand size. However, Rackling could still see play in specific metagames or as a unique inclusion for its phyrexian construct type and potential surprise factor.
