Turn 4-5 wins?! Um... Yep.

Bloodsoaked Champion - What more can be said about this guy that hasn't already? Great 1-drop for instant aggro. Synergies incredibly well with Butcher of the Horde. Also, he's Warrior and as such Chief of the Edge loves him.

Tormented Hero - Enters tapped so the perfect turn one drop. Turn two Titan's Strength for six total damage and you get one life back in return. Again, also a Warrior so someone else that Chief of the Edge is very fond of.

Mardu Hateblade - Another Warrior and possibly the the most underrated 1-drop of the set. If you have the mana open and cards in hand it might as well just have Deathtouch on it.

Chief of the Edge - Giving pretty much everyone else +1/+0 is intimidating to say the least. Don't forget she's also a Warrior so if you can get two out they bounce off eachother.

War-Name Aspirant - Fine for turn two if you need to. Wait for turn three and get that Raid trigger if you can though. Chief of the Edge and her are best Warrior friends.

Butcher of the Horde - Turn four finisher. Sacrificing Mardu Hateblade for Haste is perfectly fine here. Attack with him, sacrifice Bloodsoaked Champion for Lifelink then with the Raid trigger bring Bloodsoaked Champion back and sacrifice him again for Vigilance if you really want or need to.

Tymaret, the Murder King - Another Warrior and great if the board gets stalled out. Use the Goblins from Mardu Ascendancy to sacrifice for a quick two damage the your opponent.

Mardu Ascendancy - The Anger of the Gods answer. Also great for sacrificial Goblins to Butcher of the Horde and Tymaret, the Murder King

Cracking Doom - Great for early game and better for late game if it gets there. Takes out Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and really any early game problems all the while hitting your opponent for two.

Lightning Strike - Gets threats out of the way and can be used to get your opponent for just that last little bit of life.

Titan's Strength - +3/+1 then Scry? Yes please! Slam on Tormented Hero and hit for a total of six if unblocked all while gaining one life.

Suggestions are very welcome.
