First buy
The 200 mana is a down payment on Catalyst, and Cho'Gath's Frozen Heart wants a second Sapphire later.
Alternative start:Alternative start:Two Ruptures at 90 mana each empty most of Cho'Gath's 245 pool, and the ring shortens the wait after.
Early
Rod of Ages gains a stack per minute up to ten, so the Catalyst buy cannot dawdle; Frozen Heart later reuses a Sapphire Crystal.
