First Step: Play Forest
Second Step: Tap Forest For Mana
Third Step: Use That Mana To Play {Arbor Elf}
Step Four: Watch Your Opponent Piss Himself
Step Five: Win
Step Six: Spread The Word!!!
This is just an inside joke between me and a few of my friends... No it's not a real combo (no sh*t Sherlock) that is all...
Another way.
Your opponent's first turn: {Arid Mesa} into an alpha edition of {Badlands}.
They play {Thoughtseize}
You reveal your hand of seven {Storm Crow}
You watch and laugh as your opponent runs away with his tail between his legs.
Game over.

I think you mean "match over" ;P
I think he meant game over, like, he wins all the magic matches for all eternity.
Only thing that can beat that is my deck of {Storm Crow}s
How about a deck of {relentless rats} turned into slivers by {hivestone} and can be played fully out by having {thrumming stone} in play?
Chuckle hysterically as you watch them dash to find a way to block them especially after you drop a {sliver legions} with the mana from five rats turned mana birds by {gemhide sliver}.
After sufficiently torturing them that way give em a bit of yet another surprise by stealing their life with a {rite of consumption}.

Mostly not a first turn combo, but can be if you pull the right cards. But still funny as you blindside them from a completely unexpected direction.
Ok, so borrowing from a few other good combos, a sequence could be this.
Deliberately let them play first, and put a {gemstone caverns} into play at the start of play.
Exile a {simian spirit guide} or a {elvish spirit guide} to add one mana to your pool.
Use the 2 mana you have to {flash} a {protean hulk} into play and let it die.
Search your library for a {gemhide sliver} or {Manaweft Sliver}, a {heart sliver}, and any two 1 cost slivers {striking sliver} is a good one. And, I recommend packing in your deck zero cost critters like {memnite}, {ornithopter}, etc and pull them as well, since you can put them out for free.
On your first turn, you can now have 5 mana useable, so drop a {hivestone} with two of them, now all critters you have can be used as mana.
From there, drop a {thrumming stone} and a {relentless rats}, if you are lucky, then you can completely empty your deck of rats, with every one being hasted.
Choice from there, either mob crush your opponant with an attack of x number of super rats, or continue play with your opponant sweating bullets.
They could, yes, but also could play split second no lose cards, I have seen it happen. The way the combo I listed works is it gives flexibility and serious creature power very early, so unless they have a {force of will} or other one cost counters, there is little they can do about either combo.
Personally I do not like having combos that have only one succeed fail situation.
{force of will}
That's why I just use {storm crow}s
Point is is that there are several things which can disrupt either combo, so playing one or the other is really up to your own play style.
If playing cutthroat tournament, then yes the life loss one is best.
Playing otherwise, then the rat swarm one is best, as it does give you far more options in play direction. After all, what directions would you go if you had massive amounts of any color mana you want, and a veritable wall of super critters, all on your first turn?
Last FNM a guy kept a hand of 5 lands and a {Loxodon Smiter}. His opponent casted {Thoughtsieze} on turn 1. That, my friend, was a turn 1 win.

Don't forget {Wilt-Leaf Liege}... ;)
