God Emperor

Reddit

I imagine many of my readers have heard of the Pauper format or even play it regularly. A popular format on Magic Online, Pauper allows only cards that have been printed with the rarity of common. Rares and even uncommons are disallowed entirely.

This puzzle isn’t about Pauper. This puzzle is about God Emperor.

God Emperor is just like Pauper, except instead of commons it allows only mythic rares.

Challenge

Win the game as quickly as possible using only mythic rare cards other than Channel, Sol Ring, and Tinker.

Assumptions

Any card with a printing as mythic rare is allowed, even in side products such as From the Vault and Duel Decks.

You have perfect luck. For example, even after you shuffle your library, it’s ordered how you want. You may not assume anything about your opponent’s hand or library except that he won’t do anything relevant.

Winning “quickly” refers to both the turn of the game and whether you’re playing or drawing first. Turn three on the draw is quicker than turn four on the play but not as quick as turn three on the play.

You may only use four copies of any individual card.
