Strangelove's Hidden Swings (Turn 2 win?), inspired by Trmiller1326's turn-3-win-in-standard-sounds-good-to-me

Hidden Strings I like enough to build a couple decks around (this is the first) because you can use 4-6 mana, turn 2.

How it works:

+ + + +

Turn 1:

Play Blistercoil Weird .

Turn 2:

First main phase:

Cast Hidden Strings (Weird gets +1/+1), untapping the lands you used to cast it. Then play Armed / Dangerous (Armed) (Weird gets +2/+2 and is a 4/4 with Double Strike).

13 damage, Combat Step:

Attack, you'll deal 4 First Strike damage, Hidden Strings triggers (Weird gets another +1/+1), untap your lands and play Giant Growth (Weird gets +4/+4 and is now 9/9). Now you deal 9 Normal damage (13 damage total). Cipher triggers again (Weird gets +1/+1 and is a 10/10), untap your lands.

11 damage, Second Main Phase:

Play Flesh / Blood (Blood) (Weird gets +1/+1 and is a 11/11) targeting your weird and your opponent to deal 11 damage.

You win!

You've done a total of (4 + 9 + 11) 24 damage, turn two!

This went well with Trmiller1326's strat with Nivix Cyclops in the same colors, another cool combo, so I used it in here. With this you can win Turn 3.

If we don't get lucky, just keep swinging! Wild Defiance gives us a chance in the late game.

The sideboard anticipates Fog and sideboarded removal ( Murder ,etc) with Dispel and Skullcrack as well as Memory's Journey for Unburial Rites or graveyard gimmicks.

Hope you like it. Comments appreciated!
