You'd need 8 mana in a single turn to start going so first turn would be unlikely
Split second says as long as this spell is on the stack, you can't cast additional spells etc. Since it resolves it leaves the stack and goes to the grave, which then allows you to cast further spells. also, my take on this: http://www.mtgvault.com/nydira/decks/mind-grind/ seemed alot easier to just mill lands of all your opponents, instead of straight burning 1 opponent and die to the others.
