Deck Help forum

I want to get Endless Whispers out on first turn with the 1U and 1colorless to use Flash to bring out Phage the Untouchable and sac him to give them him on first turn... If I drew those three cards in open hand I'd need to get 2B 1U and 3 colorless with the other cards in my hand.... or maybe there's a better way to bring the cards out like if I draw 2 flashes I can Flash Academy Rector to put out Endless Whispers then flash Phage and it's game over, but that's 4 cards off the draw but only needs 2U and 2 colorless...... Help on how to get the mana or better ways to bring out the goodness first turn?
Thank you, definitely a great start to the mana problem... I know i won't get it first turn too often, but knowing there's a chance makes me hopeful that by 4th turn, it's over for sure

couldn't you just cast Heartless Summoning with Dark Ritual instead of having to splash blue to Flash cast it. you lose instant speed but it simplifies your mana-base

but Flash ALSO sacks him right after shes in play for free and then Endless Whispers gives her to them and they lose. I don't actually want Phage the Untouchable in play, just to have her "summoned" by them from anywhere but their hand so they instantly lose

I'm just curious so correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't phage cause you to lose the game if you flashed her? I had a similar idea but when I looked it up on gatherer it saw this in the oracle text:
10/4/2004 It is only considered "cast from your hand" if you cast it as a spell from your hand. Putting it onto the battlefield from your hand using a spell or ability will cause you to lose the game.
