In modern format what would be the fastest way for me to put Narset, The Enlightened Master on the table?

Fastest is often reanimator, but that would require a lot of colour fixing, unless you were aiming for a pure reanimator build.

So i would have to find a way to drop into the yard then bring her back with the vengeance. I am wondering what would be the fastest way through mana production. Although it appears i could get her out as early as turn two with that.....Which is what i was hoping for.

Well, there is no faster way unless you're willing to splash green for mana creatures. The only acceleration in Jeskai is Simian Spirit Guide and rocks like Pentad Prism , but if you're playing Narset I don't think you want them. Using her as a finisher for a control deck could be very interesting, where you aren't focusing on getting her into play quickly but on dropping her in the lategame when all their threats are dead and you need to close out.

You could do it on T3 if you play stuff like Storm, but then you might as well go off and Grapeshot instead of attacking with Narset, Enlightened Master

I think i can do it on turn three with mana dorks and have her swinging that turn though i would probably wait till the fourth..if im still alive. Modern is so quick and aggressive.

She does gain a lot from being in a controll shell (Lightning Bolt/Helix, Draw spells, Miracles), she'd be really great in Legacy if her costs were lower, but that can be said for a lot of cards.

How do you do it turn 3? Don't play rituals in your deck. Please don't. Narset will just get Liliana'd and then you'll cry. Play her in a control shell. Don't go all-in.

I guess you could get 6 mana on T3 in a non-Storm deck with Birds of Paradise , Noble Hierarch , and something else to get that 6th mana, like Lotus Cobra or Simian Spirit Guide . But then you're playing 4 colors for one card, and several of your ramp cards are creatures, so they don't synergize with Narset. Listen to GlistenerAgent, play control with her.

birds of paradise and generator servants could get her there quickly enough. In a Rug deck. I think i can make something happen here. And if lilana hits ill just sac away the bird.See i got plans for her not in a control setting but in a beat down setting. yeah a beat down with a 3/2..... or will she be a 3/2? Muahahahaha Thanks for the help.

she can be turn-3 without a problem. any two mana dorks, any turn-one mana dork and a Generator Servant with your turn one land being a R/G, turn two being a R/W, and turn three including blue.
to note, this is also possible in standard: turn 1: Yavimaya Coast
, Elvish Mystic
turn 2: Mountain
, Generator Servant
turn 3: Plains
, sac servant, use your mana, play a hastey narset.
