Has anyone tried this as a start item? It is a sound idea in theory.

You can start with a Rejuvenation Bead and a Faerie Charm, gives you great AD:Gold ratio, lane sustain and better farm. You essentially get 5 AD, 7hp/5, 2MP/5 and a 35-50% Splash for 420 gold.

Another way of looking at it is for a combine cost of 250 gold you get 15 AD, 7hp/5, 2mp/5 and the splash.

It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to follow this item with a Phantom Dancer for an AD carry.
