Holy Freyalise! If you land the Leyline of Vitality in your opening hand, you can proceed to an 8/1 Force of Savagery on turn three!

I had nearly forgotten about the low-logging Future Sight rare. The last time I used it was about two years ago alongside his best-friend-forever Incandescent Soulstoke. Jonathan used the Elemental lord as well, and even threw in Pandemonium, in case things weren't quick enough. Here's his list and commentary. I made one minor change to the deck, subbing out the singletons, Hostility and Vigor, and replacing them with the underplayed and clever Walker of the Grove.

It's a basic Elemental deck, with some Vitality and Pandemonium thrown in there. Jonathan observes,

"Zektar Shrine Expedition is great with Pandemonium and Momentous Fall. Since it doesn't cost any mana to activate, you get to leave mana open to cast Momentous Fall. Or you can run out Pandemonium and then immediately get some use out of it."

Even the nonbasic lands play important roles. Mosswort Bridge can cheat out anything with a Force of Savagery and the Soulstoke in play. Teetering Peaks won me a few games in testing, pushing the limits of Momentous Fall and Ooze Garden (which, by the way, was my other addition.) And as Jonathan says,

"Kher Keep seems like it would be hilariously effective with a few Leylines out."

Indeed.
