Hand emptying turn 3, worth the sweat in modern?
Modern forum

I'm working on a deck that's focused on hand emptying and intense burn (=>5pt/turn).
The earliest it pulls off is turn three, and I'm wondering if it's worth the sweat. The combo works this way (Tuo Deppat for the whole thing):
turn 1 and 2: mana + any combination of Quest for the Nihil Stone
/Liliana's Caress
turn 3: One with Nothing
+ Redirect
watcha think

"You" or "your" in the text of a card always refers to the controller of that card. A spell or ability only targets if it explicitly uses the word target.

Turn 3: Tap a swamp for Dark Ritual into Dark Ritual . Tap your other 2 swamps. You have 7 black mana in your mana pool. Cast Wit's End . There's your turn 3. :D

you need 3 Dark Ritual to get 7 mana and still have 2 more for Redirect . too hard of a combo

w999 not quite, for I'd no longer need to push the card towards the other guy. However, I would need two of those Rituals indeed. pumpkinsword has a point there.

I don't understand why Redirect is still necessary. You would presumably cast Wit's End targeting your opponent.

slpash red, for Seething Song and Blightning (is there a better red mana ramp, i can't remember.)

the turn 3 bit isn't possible. One with Nothing doesn't target a player so Redirect doesn't have a target to change targets.
