Not many decks can race a turn 2 akroma. Many decks can race a turn 3 one, though.
Unless we're talking about two different Spanish Inquisitions, the SI I know about has a consistent turn 2 goldfish with a high frequency of turn one goldfishes, if undisruipted, and has been knows to run
  • Orim's chant
  • Cabal Therapy
  • Pact of Negation ( although it has been dropped, for a period of time the deck ran them, if I'm not mistaken)
  • ok, well, to prove a point, PROTECTION


Alrighty then, you're comparing a deck that runs protection (in some/ most builds) to an entirely voulnerable deck that doesn't even have the option to kill the opponent until turn 3, if undisrupted and in a vacum, with a completely unlikely, overextending godhand*? I don't see the connection.

*Godhand would consist of of: U. Sea x2, Reanimate x2, Bogardan Hellkite x2, Putrid Imp/ Careful Study x1. Turn one, discard outlet, turn two, double Reanimate, turn 3 swing. This dies to so many commonly played cards it's not even funny.
