This is a gimmicky combo that may or may not be viable at FNM, but if I can figure out the right balance and pull it off, It's a T3 - T4 win.

If you see a way to make this better and more consistent, please let me know!! I appreciate all your comments and +1's!!!

Using tons of fetches and Mana Confluence to get the right colors, the combo between Assault Formation and Mardu Ascendancy is nasty. Start off with your Lagonna-Band Trailblazer or Disowned Ancestor . Turn 2, drop in Assault Formation , play an Ornithopter on either T1 or T2. T3, Mardu Ascendancy Attacking with two creatures brings in two goblins, sacrifice Mardu Ascendancy to add another 12 damage!
