After seeing a brew deck by roguedeckbuilder Original list here, I decided to try my own variation on the theme, based on one of the most versatile rampers in standard, Generator Servant. The main idea (ramping out to big, hasty creatures before your opponent can deal with them) is the same, but a few notable changes have been made.

Firstly, the Scuttling Doom Engine + Shrapnel Blast combo has been included, as the thought of dealing 17 damage on turn four with Generator Servant really tickles my Timmy. To make Shrapnel Blast more relevant, I've also included Volatile Rig, which is a good choice for tossing out early anyhow.

Secondly, I've thinned out Zhur-Taa Druid and replaced it with Chord of Calling. Druid is less useful as ramp when we have options like Caryatid, which can give any kind and stick around, and Satyr Hedonist, which gives the instant ramp we need. The one damage was nice with Master of Cruelties, but they weren't used often enough to stay worthwhile. As for Chord of Calling, it can do a lot of things for us. It can help pull out a fatty at the end of the opponent's turn for pseudo-haste or when we can't seem to draw a good one, pick out some ramp or a Servant when we need one, or do something silly like getting a Xenagos, God of Revels out before combat. The triple green isn't really a concern when we have the ramp and the option to convoke.

The sideboard remains the same, but I am open as always to suggestions. In playtesting, this has won as early as turn four, and consistently goes off by turn six or five. It may not be as competitive, but it's a ton of fun, and can perform well because it's really unexpected.
