whats the fastest deck in standard at the moment? Are any turn 3 kills possible?
Also, forgot to mention that the fastest decks are currently RDW and White Weenies I believe.

Boros, rakdos, red deck wins, white weenies are all pretty fast (I made a deck: $30- How do YOU turn 3? focusing on turn 3's).
Actually, if you are on the draw, you can win t2:
t1,-forest, Elvish Mystic
t2- Tap both for 3 Burning-Tree Emissary , Nykthos, shrine to nix- use two mana floating for 7 green. Garruk, Caller of Beasts -3 for Xenagos, God of Revels . Use last 1 mana for Aspect of Hydra onto a Burning-Tree Emissary , its a 12/12. Use Xenagos's combat ability to make it a 24/24 haste, swing for 24.
I hope that helps

The Hopeful Eidolon will have a giant target on its head, with things like Hero's Downfall , Rapid Hybridization , Azorius Charm , or even Devour Flesh , with great power usually comes great vulnerability, but hey what deck doesn't. But regardless the white and red decks are very fast when tuned good

I would say that the fastest deck consistently would be White Heroic, similar to what deanislig mentioned; you can also splash Red for Boros Charm , Madcap Skills , etc. to give you more possibilities for ultra-fast kills. Any t3 kill will probably have to have Ethereal Armor , though, and it's not a very competitive deck since it's very susceptible to removal.
Mono Green can also be ridiculously fast, though once again, t2 Burning-Tree Emissary is pretty much required for those kinds of starts. It's also a much better deck than Heroic.
Finally, RDW is probably the fastest deck on a consistent basis, as it easily gets t4 or t5 wins on the regular. (ex: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=6669&d=238344)

I know you can get a turn three kill with the following:
Turn One: Land, Hopeful Eidolon
Turn Two: Land, Ethereal Armor x2 Swing for 7.
Turn Three: Land, Ajani, Caller of the Pride give the eidolon flying and double strike, swing for 14. Total 21.
