This is how we used to do it, before storm, minds desire, tendrils blah blah. Even before worldgorger.

How consistent is it?  How likely is a T1 kill?

It's very consistent due to the fact you can mulligan down lower than any deck over ever played and still go off. Like mulligan to 4 black lotus, meditate, helm of awakening and any other mana producer can push the deck into flow. It takes a lot of practicing to be able to manage the mana and predict your draws to a degree. One of the few decks that play very solitare like. Not very much anyone can disrupt singularly bc of the ammount of gogo and perenant building. I hadn't played this in years bc worldgorger came around and it took forever for them to restrict entomb and that deck was far far more
Consistent. Also little tip. Always try and meditate as many times as possible and if you need one more turn to kill them, time walk after meditating do you can take another turn. If that walk goes through they're certainly dead. And kaervecks torch is very very hard to stop or predict game 1

How do you {Meditate} as many times as possible?  You mean just cast it every time you draw it, right?

Yes you want to meditate as man times in one turn as possible and walk if you need the extra tun. You don't want to meditate turn 1 two times then stall and give your opponent 3 turns

I feel stupid. How does it work?

Still don't get it.

{Candelabra of Tawnos}
{Tolarian Academy}
{Kaervek's Torch} or {Stroke of Genius} for a billion.

This is exactly my point in the mana burn thread. When I said {Tolarian Acedemy} can go high.

Yeah, I love that card!  Everyone keeps bugging me for mine.

Don't have any Candlestix though.    :'(

That'll give you one more untap, but that's it.
