Turn one: {darkslick shores}
Turn two: {seachrome coast}, {heartless summoning}
Turn three: {island}, {heartless summoning}, {solemn simulacrum}, it dies so draw a card then fetch a {plains}, play a second {solemn simulacrum} draw and fetch an island.
Turn four: tap {island}, {plains}, {island}, {darkslick shores} and {seachrome coast} for a {guilded lotus}, play a {island}, tap lotus for 3 blue, tap the island and play {deciever exarch}, untap lotus and tap to float a total of 3 blue mana and 3 white, use 2 blue to play {deadeye navigator} and pair with {deciever exarch}, use the pair ability to flick the exarch and untap lotus netting infinite blue mana then use that mana to net infinite white mana and then also do it for infinite black mana. Use some black for {rune-scarred demon} fetch some cloning cards and copy the demon until finally searching for and hard casting {entreat the angels} for 40 (i guess thats the number im supposed to stop at), then drop {akroma's memorial} and end game.
Turn five: keep laughing

Dorks dont get there fast enough, even with {cage sun}. Turn 6 would have been a different story.

New challenge: swing lethal using only bird of paradise by the end of turn 3.

Turn 1 bird
Turn 2 {Rancor}
Turn 3 {Mutagenic Growth} x4 + {Rush of Blood}
You have 20/9 {Birds of Paradise}, would have to be a perfect hand though

No. {heartless summoning} mana trick with {priest of urabrusk} {havengul lich} to make a million red mana and {bonfire of the damned}...no need to have an extra turn?

Sorry guys last challenge was bogus, I check and my theory didn't work and there was no other way.
So I'll post a new challenge.

Using {Disciple of Bolas} how can gain 28 life and draw 28 cards on turns 7?
There, you all have 7 turns to play with.

Put into the gy via {Forbidden Alchemey} or {Faithless Looting} cast {Snapcaster Mage} giving {Temporal Mastery} flashback. Cast and take an extra turn. Then use {Runic Repition} to get it back. However when you cast from the gy and it's exiled it loses flashback.
I thought it work because Snappy doesn't specify that the card loses flashback when it's exiled, only until end of turn. Stupid rules
