Stompy gets stompier with some great counter synergy.

Avatar of the Resolute + Servant of the Scale combo nicely, along with any other creature that will have counters out by turn 2, 3, or 4 such as Simic Initiate , Experiment One.

With Hardened Scales in opening hand, turn one changes everything. Now we're talking about an Avatar of the Resolute that can grow to a 6/5, 8/7 or even 9/8 by turn 4. With Trample and pump waiting.
How?
Turn One: Hardened Scales
Turn Two: Experiment One + Simic Initiate
Turn Three Managorger Hydra
Turn Four: Aspect of Hydra + Avatar of the Resolute + Groundswell

Simic Initiate can graft a counter to a new creature when ETB triggers, also triggering Hardened Scaless. Put those lovely counters on Avatar of the Resolute and you've got an Avatar on Turn 3 that is a 8/7, or drop Avatar on turn 4 after Hydra and become a 9/8.
Provided your board state is solid and nothing removed, if you have pump spells waiting, you're swinging for at least a 9/8 Avatar, a 7/7 Managorger, and a 5/5 Experiment One - with more than likely +4 Groundswell and +5 Aspect of Hydra that make friends with any trampler.30 damage on Turn 4,or swing earlier on Turn 3.
If against Burn or some type of removal, get Dungrove Elder out when their shields are down and he'll just grow.This deck can end up with a lot of serious threats by turn 3 and 4.

Mainboarding 2 Dismember to see how having removal at the ready to clear our some threats so my people can get through.
