So this deck, you want to get your Pili-Pala out on turn 2, then play the Grand Architect on turn three. Be sure to have either Exsanguinate, Banefire, or my personal favorite, Blue Sun's Zenith in hand, and it is always nice to have any of the counter spells. On turn three you should attack with Pili-Pala to tap him, then use the Grand Architect's ability to tap for colorless on himself, because it targets a creature and therefore isn't stopped by summoning sickness, but you will use this ability to spend the mana to untap Pili-Pala for blue mana. Then use the Grand Architect's ability to make Pili-Pala blue. Then tap him for two colorless to untap him to add any color mana to your mana pool infinite times, to cast any of the mentioned X cost spells. This is usually an easy turn 3 win, if you believe hard enough. Remember your savior, the grand Pili-Pala.
