Challenge

Using only cards from Limited Edition Beta that are legal in Legacy, win the game as quickly as possible.

Assumptions

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.

Attacking 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.

Solution to Last Week’s Puzzle

The first solution submitted for last week’s puzzle was the following from Mike, which deals 100 damage on turn one on the play:

Play	Mana	Cards in Hand
Turn One		7
Swamp		6
Dark Ritual		5
Dark Ritual		4
Dark Ritual		3
Dark Ritual		2
Grindstone		1
Activate Grindstone targeting yourself, milling four of each of the following Slivers: Acidic, Crystalline, Heart, Hibernation, Muscle, Spined, Victual, Winged, Armor, Barbed, Horned, Mindwhip, and Mnemonic. Finally, mill a single Talon Sliver as the last card in your library.		1
Living Death		0

All Slivers have Haste, thanks to Heart Sliver, so you can now attack with everything for 305 damage.

Honorable mention goes to Rast, who sent in this solution that does unbounded damage as well as using only White, Green, and colorless cards:
