Took the idea from this deck and modified it a bit to lessen the reliance on the Conspiracies but still make it into a viable (?) deck archetype.

Basically, the idea is this:

-Either start the game with Gemstone Caverns in play or have 2 lands in play/a land and Simian Spirit Guide/Elvish Spirit Guide in hand/any combination of Guides in hand.

-Cast Flash , putting Protean Hulk into play. Because you can't pay the additional mana cost, you'll have to sacrifice it.

-Go and get 4x Disciple of the Vault, 4x Shifting Wall and 4x Phyrexian Marauder and put them all into play.

-The Walls and Marauders enter as 0/0's and thus are immediately put into the graveyard as a result of State-Based Actions. This puts 32 Disciple triggers onto the stack, and assuming they all resolve, the opponent loses 32 life and thus the game.

This deck can win as early as the end of the opponent's second turn, provided we went first. If we didn't go first and we have an Elvish Spirit Guide or Simian Spirit Guide in hand, we can win at the end of their first turn.
