{Righteousness} won't work unless {Glistener Elf} has been declared as a blocker.

Yeah but assuming he gets attacked the turn after he plays his petals, he activates them and blocks then casts the instants.

However don't those 3 instants require 5 mana? You'll need a 3rd lotus petal in play

In cmc, yes, but you can pay two life rather than {Mutagenic Growth}'s mana cost.

I'd vote for Naya using this; {Flesh // Blood} is a bit better over Soul Fire
It'd have to be naya anyway with {Glistener Elf}, but yes that is clearly the best set of colors for this.

Or tie in with the {gemstone cavern}, {simian spirit guide}, {flash}, {protean hulk} combo to give you the needed mana on your first turn.

Because there is nothing better than switching formats to vintage and losing consistency on the way... besides, they need to attack you for you to pull it off anyway

 {Forbidden Orchard}

There's nothing like the temptation of attacking with 1/1 tokens from the orchard and fixing your mana to boot.

Soul fire is the only choice for this: flesh/blood is sorcery
