This deck uses Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet to quickly "cheat" huge creatures such as Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger onto the battlefield.

With this deck, it is possible to get any one of the big creatures out by turn 4. My favorite play is a turn four Emrakul, the Aeons Torn which leads to wiping out the opponent's boards on turn 5 and an easy turn 6 win.

Here is one way to do it:

Turn 1: play a Forest

Turn 2: Play another Forest and enchant each forest with a Utopia Sprawl

Turn 3: Play a third Forest , and an Elvish Piper .

Turn 4: With Elvish Piper 's ability put Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or any other creature from your hand onto the battlefield, or use Summoner's Pact to find a big creature.

There are also many other combinations of cards that lead to turn 4 big boys using Arbor Elf . While this deck doesn't pull a turn 4 big creature every time, it regularly gets a big creature out by turn 6 or 7.

Actually possible to get a turn 3 Emrakul. See below:
