The idea is to play an unblockable creature and equip it with Quietus Spike. Ideally this produces 11 unblockable damage on turn four. Drift of Phantasms and Perplex can be used to get the spike. There are 12 creatures with unblockable to equip it with.

I'm splashing black for Inkfathom Witch. It is almost unblockable because of fear and acts as a backup strategy, because for 4 mana it can make all your unblockables big. Assuming that you play a creature per turn, that allows you to attack for 12 on turn 4.
