What's the best hand you've ever started a game with?

{Tundra} x2, {Cursecatcher} {AEther Vial}, {Daze}, {Force of Will}, {Lord of Atlantis}. First hand virtually guaranteed I'd see turn 4.

Best hand I can think of is {volcanic island}, {show and tell}, {omniscience}, {lotus petal}x2, {emrakul, the aeons torn}, {Griselbrand}.

Barring a force of will this is a win before your opponent has a turn.

{Sorin Markov} {Guul Draz Assassin} {Chancellor of the Dross} 4x {Swamp}

Edited: the next 2 cards were swamp, then {Sorin's Vengence} and another swamp, Markov's second ability, followed by the Vengence

I have had a few awesome hands but nothing as epic as a turn 1 {channel} {fireball} {Black Lotus} {Volcanic island}...

Pre {Force of Will}

Edited to erase an uncalled for snide remark.
