Nothing new for anyone other than me, who has not made a "fast" deck yet.  Have never made a deck with no intention of blocking before.  Would this do better in T1 1 player of T1 multi-player (with GOYS added of course)?  Thanks.

Looks pretty solid in terms of a T1 MP speed deck. One change I would consider is swapping First Fruits for Feast of Trumpets for two reasons.
1) If you set aside with First Fruits, and one of your opponent's flips up Rain Becomes Dust, you're gonna lose 5 cards, including 4 random ones which could be dominants you need since FF is not an optional draw like Pentecost. If you use FoT, you can choose to do 1, meaning you only lose 2 cards (1 random) and so does everyone else except the player with RBD.
2) Feast of Trumpets is great for getting out Lost Souls at the end of the game when LS are getting scarcer. The obvious drawback is that you will be giving someone who is close to winning a chance at drawing their SoG or NJ they need to win.

Another switch I would consider is taking out Abe's Servant and adding Faithful Servant (P). He's a great character to have when so many of the "blocks" in T1 MP are SoG on Shuffler and Burial on the only LS. Having Lay Down Your Life nullifies Christian Martyr and since FS can play all of your enhancements (if you took out AStU), he's going to be very tough to block.

Interesting idea on Feast of Trumpets.  Faithful Servant Promo would be great, but I don't have one :(

If you end up using Feast of Trumpets, add Gifts of the Magi as well.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Ah, I see. Might be a card worth saving up for (either $ or high-end cards) as it is a very versatile card.

Feast of Trumpets definitely works well with Gifts of the Magi, but in my experience there's usually at least one person who still has a DoN in their hand and who won't like you drawing 10+ cards... Gifts is good for any MP deck though (with or without FoT)

 Eric, make this 54 cards. When I use my speed decks, I always make it 54, and If I do it right I deck out in 5-6 turns.

the a slave won't work in this deck. you can't use this to create a ls if you aren't able to bring in another ec. also your offense is spread out. you can just do white and it would look good.

harvest time isn't a cost/benefit ability like a slave is.

So i guess the question is can i still pay the cost even though there is no benefit?

Yes.  The benefit requires the cost, not the other way around.
