Turn1 Kill

Always a dream in the card game (and usually nerfed the moment it becomes possible), I think there is at least a theoretical possibility based on one of the decks I do run. I think with a huge swathe of luck and cascade it is possible - doesn't even need many mythics to do so!

You need to be playing Kalemne Iroas.
First cast Hazoret's Undying Fury (Spell red 21 rare)
-The only other spell in your deck is Deploy the Gatewatch (Spell red 23 mythic)
This will fetch creatures you need Trample and Quartzwood Crasher (creature red/green 17 rare). I use Ziatora's Envoy and Boborygmos but I think any other 2 trample creatures will do.

The cascade that cast Fury means you have an extra turn - you need Iroas's first ability to give haste.

Then cascade some more to cast Fiery Emancipation (support red 22 mythic)

Your first create attacks from Iroas' haste. It generates a token Dinosaur Beast token and you want to replace your first creature with it. You now have a new first creature, which also gains haste, and attacks. Both attacks do ~30 damage (depending on how Deploy resolved) and Fiery x3 extra for the kill.

I've not yet had that draw/cascade to test!
Is 43 mana on turn 1 even possible? Will it give enough loyalty for Iroas' ability?

Thoughts? Can it be improved with mana cheaper alternatives? (is any defense possible?)
Are there other turn 1 possibilities?

I'm not sure why the beast token gets haste, but your thinking is pretty good.

Been tweaking it a bit and now achieved this Genuine turn 1 kill. Easiest run through Planes ever.
Swapped out Fiery and the creatures
In came Decimator of the provinces, Emrakul the Promised End, and Skysoverign Consol Flagship. The rest is land Voltstrider and Goggles for when you don't draw spell on turn 1.

Just need to cast Hazoret on the first turn and it's a kill. Decimator hastes everyone and the total power is enough.

I’ve definitely had T1 kills. I run Niv-Mizzet, Parun and the Firemind, and Baral, with a bunch of convert spells. With a lucky extra swap, Baral can come down, then activate Tamiyo, Field Researcher’s first ability to draw a few more spells and then start a chain of conversion spells. This does have about 7 or 8 mythics, but the newest card is from Guilds of Ravnica.

The deck can take ages to win doing three damage every time you draw a card is slow.
