I'm looking for as many ways as possible to cast sorceries at instant speed. {alchemist's refuge} comes to mind first, but I'm hoping to be casting {R} and {B} sorceries. 3 colors in the deck in no problem, but 4 is iffy.
Does anything come to mind? I can't seem to think of anything.
If you don't want to have much blue outside of activating the land then play Jund with birds and {abundant growth} to activate the land and maybe just a few spells.
{Leyline of Anticipation}
{Tefari, Mage of Zhalfir}
Tacking 3 mana onto any sorcery isn't worth it IMO. I can't think of anyway for it to be useable.
{Quicken}
{Vedalken Orrery}

but you don't have to do it per sorcery. just every turn you want to cast them. it pays back well as long as you have enough mana.
Right. I'm just thinking powerful usable spells are in the 3-6 mana range...so 6-9 mana out still seems unlikely. Unless it's for casual it won't really have any use except for flashing in 1-2 drops to screw up combat.

Or if it's in multiplayer so you have more time to set up your lands hopefully.
Hah, no, I'm looking for a way to cast {Worldfire} at instant speed. Because if you're playing EDH, and you cast {Geistflame} targeting a player with 40~ life, then add {arc trail} targeting 2 more players to the stack. Then you flash in {Worldfire}. All 3 of your opponents die.
It's absurd and highly unlikely, sure, but I want to make it happen! With the cards linked and a 5 color {progenitus} deck with enough mana ramp and tutors, I think I might be able to make it happen
{Knowledge Pool} could do that. You could even cheat out the {Worldfire} if you can top deck it before you cast the Pool.

BJ is the man! Get to draw a card too? {Quicken} is sweet! He could run just B/R with the {vedalken orrery} though.
Or instead of {Geistflame} and {Arc Trail} you could use that deal 3 damage divided as you choose for {2}{R}{R}. Its m13.
(Sorry I always forget card names)
The card you want is {sizzle}

Also works for starting the chain! Some great suggestions, thanks guys
The new {Flames of the Firebrand} would work here as well. Not as good as {Sizzle} mind you.
Couldn't you use {gut shot} for free, but you only have one in EDH

{arc lightning} also
Didn't they make something that does the same thing in m13?
