A re-animation and cheat-in Mardu Gearhulk deck with a little added speed from Olivia, Mobilized for War and Hanweir Battlements . Use Cathartic Reunion or Tormenting Voice to get gearhulks or Metalwork Colossus in to the graveyard. Then, using Refurbish or Ever After to get them back and on the battlefield. Also, you can cheat-in the Gearhulks or Colossus using Madcap Experiment. This deck is fairly quick using both methods of getting the 5+ cmc critters on the board. Also, using Olivia to give a +1/+1 counter and haste to the entering critter by discarding another Gearhulk, Colossus or any card in hand. I like holding back a land late game for this purpose. I have found the with the draw ability of Tormenting and Cathartic you can easily find early answers to most decks pre-side. I would also give the advice of be willing to mulligan to start with a good hand. You truly want to start with a 2-3 lands, a draw, a Gearhulk or two, refurbish (or madcap). I never keep a hand with more than 4 lands.
Updated with latest Changes: -2 Anguished Unmaking, -1 Madcap Experiment / +3 Unlicensed Disintegration -1 Inspiring Advantage / +1 Hanweir Battlement

Notes: Nahiri, the Harbinger is too slow to attempt to cheat-in. If you think in relative round count and cmc by comparison; Nahiri needs 3 rounds to fetch out a critter. This means its usable CMC would be comparible to that of a 7 cmc card. There are better ways to use the mana, and rounds. While she can help with draw/discard but really unless you are using madness removal cards, it is kind of pointless to have her MB. This deck also wants to attack in, so rarely do you have blockers to protect her if you use her -2 ability.
