Turn 3 spell rod

[Deathseide]

{standard bearer} and {mother of runes}
Since any spell they play that could possibly target a creature has to target the {standard bearer}, you let it, then activate the {mother of runes} to give the bearer pro spell color.
Just play the mother before you play the bearer...

{Mother of Runes} is such a beautiful 1 drop.
