The Livewire Lash seems a little lack luster without an explination, but this is how it works. Turn 1, Glistener Elf. Turn 2, Livewire Lash, swing for 1. Turn 3, equip the lash, pay 2 life for Mutagenic Growth, and your third mana for a Groundswell. This activates the ability of Livewire Lash twice, either clearing the board with -1/-1 counters or sending 4 poison counters straight to your opponent, because it's not the equipment that deals the damage, but the creature it's equipped to...and that creature has infect. So, 2 spells target it, that's 4 counters, plus 7 from the Glistener Elf itself (Groundswell+Mutagenic Growth +2 from the lash's +2/+0). In other words, great hands get it done on turn 3. Spell Pierce is essential, and much better than Skyward Vault considering the board clear capabilities I just explained. I do like chained throat seeker.... :D
