So the idea is to beat in...fairly simple. The general win condition is to have Hangarback Walker on the field at the end of an opponent's turn, along with Arcbound Ravager and another Arcbound, which will usually be enough to "go off" if Hardened Scales is on the field. Sacrifice an Arcbound, move its +1/+1 counters to Hangarback walker, sac the Hangarback, usually netting at least 10 thopters alongside at least an 8/8 Arcbound Ravager. Then when you attack, you'll usually have enough power to move around to win. Say, if they have 5 creatures to block arcbound and 4 tolkens, you can sac 3 thopters, end up with 6 more counters on arcbound, making it a 14/14, sac itself, move the tolkens to the thopters, and have enough to win.

As of now, it's somewhere in the neighborhood of a 5-7 turn deck, so I need to drop it down to around 4, if possible.

Thanks
