So yeah, it definitely a turn 3 win, turn two if you have 3 Fossil Finds

Okay, I just think that it's impossible to be able to do the combo infinitely with the Wild Cantor and Gut Shot in the graveyard. Then, with only two Fossil Finds, you will eventually lose them both.

Yeah, that's my understanding too, Corrosive_Cat. I had overlooked that there were two copies of Fossil Find when I asked my question.

So, here's what I found Cheiromancer. To win on turn two, you have to have three Fossil Finds, a Monastery Swiftspear, Wild Cantor Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip and Mountain in your hand, ten go second, so you can draw a Gut Shot first turn, then do everything normally. So you have a third fossil find in your hand to retrieve if things go wrong

Cheiromancer the first Fossil Find is guaranteed to return the Gutshot to your hand, leaving only that Fossil Find in your graveyard. This means that every time you cast one thereafter, it returns the other.

I don't see how the 2nd turn win works. I assume Fossil Find is in the graveyard when it resolves and picks a card at random, but isn't Gut Shot there too? Each iteration thus has a 50% chance of getting you the Gut Shot instead of the Fossil Find. You might win the coin toss a few times, but not enough to make a 20/21 Monastery Swiftspear.

Hey, got the deck and it works pretty well. One thing I noticed was that it's kind of hard to pop off the combo with something else in your graveyard along with the Fossil Find. So you have that Wild Cantor in there after you retrieve the Gut Shot and won't go infinitely without getting the Wild Cantor. If you wait until turn 3, then you can go infinite without any obstacles in your graveyard.

You might find Fossil Find surprisingly good advantage and recursion in a deck like this - I run it with Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip and it does absolute numbers, can even go infinite with two
