Title: Third turn lightning blitz
Post by: Deathseide on January 27, 2013, 06:12:08 PM
T1: swamp and {lotus petal} tap swamp and use the petal for {Dark Ritual}, play  {Gravecrawler} and  {Phyrexian Altar}.
T2: swamp, tap for second {dark ritual} and play {lightning coils}. Tap second swamp for second {gravecrawler}.
Begin sacrificing the {gravecrawler} to the altar and recasting, adding counters to the coils, when you have many, many of them, end turn and wait for the beginning of turn 3.
T3:  {Lightning Coils} activates, blitz with the mini ball Lightnings...

You need another zombie to use gravecrawler's ability, so this only works once you have another zombie on the field.

The {phyrexian altar} deals with the mana issue

This combo does not work (on turn three). Lets pretend your opening god hand is swamp,  {Dark Ritual},  {Gravecrawler}, {Lotus Petal},  {Phyrexian Altar},  {Dark Ritual} 2, swamp 2. Even with that you only get 1draw and you need another  {Gravecrawler} and  {Lightning Coils} for the combo sooo no, not the way you described it can't work your way

It does work if you go second, and draw on your first turn.
