Channel Array Surprise Rite of consumption win also compared to other turn 1 win cons this one costs far less money at only $36.

Let's see... 20 life to start...

After Gemstone Array...
16 life remaining.
Play Surprise Deployment to get out Serra...
11 life remaining, and Serra Avatar is an 11/11 creature.
Put out Rite of Consumption to sac Serra...
8 life remaining, which makes Serra Avatar's power and toughness 8/8 as well, but you gain 8 life to make your life total 16 after all's said and done.

Yeah, I don't think this works quite like you want it to. Far from a one-turn win if my math is right.

Hmm, correct me if I´m wrong, but: "Put nonwhite creature" and Serra Avatar is a white creature... Btw it won´t work, even if it would be nonwhite, Rite will be always for it´s last known stats. Lifegain is as a part of resolution...

Huh... didn't even see that. Good eye, Waist.

Well, maybe if you added Sleight of Mind into the mix to change Surprise Deployment's text from "Put a nonwhite creature..." to, say, "Put a nonblack creature...", but that would just make it work even less as intended.

Still, yeah, nowhere near a Turn 1 win.
