I remember the good old days when you could make someone scoop with a Stone Rain on turn 2. I want to wager that this is still so possible in casual play. The play is simple: mulligan down until you have a mana dork in hand (preferably the Birds, but beggars can't be choosers), then accelerate out a Stone or Molten Rain. From there, you wait to find a Goblin Rabblemaster because, well, that's a satisfying win condition. It's a little slower as a modern build with the lack of Raze. Aggressive Mining can help fuel you up if you get stuck, because you don't need your lands anyway! Once you can count to 4, the game is pretty well locked down!
