Hello. Long time viewer of the forums, first time poster!
I'm super excited to see a thread for this, I have been playing a U/W Flash Skies since the season started and absolutely love it! It won't beat the net decks (though it can - 2-0'd G/W tokens at Game Day last night) but it's a TON of fun and costs almost nothing (note: I pulled the Abbey at Prerelease and have had Secures since they were only a buck or two at most). Note in my list below that in the main only 3 cards must be played at Sorcery speed - I almost think Reflector Mage main actually slows the deck down!
Nothing better than playing almost ENTIRELY on your opponent's turn. I love Topplegeist for the tempo through Chains, or as an early beater and fodder for the Sorcerer. You'll note I cannot get delirium on my own but require my opponent to kill an enchantment, so I'm not using it for that.
If I had more Watchings they'd maybe go in, but I'm finding the deck is so tight that in board matches I really only have a few flex spots (Mages, 'Geists, counterspells or kill spells depending on the matchup). Avacyn would slot right in but that's not budget of course and I have a personal boycott against "auto-include" mythics
Here's hoping Eldritch Moon adds some sick spirits to give Rattlechains more love
My hats off to all the budget brewers out there!!!
