My hand is a god hand, and he only has one land.

I keep it as you do but Warton gets another god hand with second turn survival (making my living deaths shitto) and a third turn recurring nightmare.

Game Three: Pissed off at myself for doing a bad job of building my sideboard, I start the game with the following hand...Forest, Mountain, Elf, Stone Rain, Stone Rain, Winter's Grasp, Winter's Grasp, Incinerate. This is a god hand...I keep her down to one land, and she never plays anything bigger than a Soul Warden (which I Incinerate).

With Hatred a second turn kill (with a god hand) is still possible if both player[sic] start the game with 100 life.

So, when I draw that god hand, I'll go buy the winning lottery ticket, and be struck by lightning, a plane crash and a motorcycle accident within 5 minutes, right? :)

Too long is often the first 4-5 turns. I can't see you getting the lock that fast without a god hand.

I can't imagine that this is popular locally for the original poster, since you either have to have a God hand to pull it off and make it work, or have to be playing against a deck that can't survive on less than four mana.
