As it was written in Gaka's primer (from which I took great inspiration), the Norin gospel is as follow:

In the beginning players shuffled their libraries and presented their generals. Now the board was formless and empty, mulligans were resolved, and Sol Rings were hovering in hands. And the First Player said, "Let there be Norin the Wary" and there was Norin.
The second player saw that Norin blinked, and chose to let it go.
The blue player thought this was pointless, and allowed it - the first turn.

And the First Player said, "We need more creatures."
So he tapped two mountains and cast Genesis Chamber.
The second player sighed. The blue player was tapped out - the second turn.

And the First Player said, "I really hate nonbasic lands." And it was so. The First Player cast Blood Moon. And the First Player saw that the second player had no basics.And then the First Player said, "At the end of turn, token." And it was so. The Genesis Chamber produced a token: another myr to add to the swarm already gathering.And the First Player saw that there were no responses. There was a sigh, and a facepalm - the third turn.

And the First Player said "I need a win condition at some point so i really hope I draw a Purphoros, God of the Forge." And it was drawn.The First Player cast a Sol Ring, tapping one mountain. The blue player did not respond.The First Player then cast his Purphoros and again there was no response from the blue player. And the First Player blinked Norin. And there were more end of turn shenanigans - the fourth turn.

And the First Player said "Let the board teem with artifact creatures, and let Purphoros hit you all for two each trigger."So the First Player attacked with everything at the second player, and Norin Blinked. And the First Player moved to the end step. The First Player giggled, "Be fruitful and increase in number, and let me get more triggers." The second player scooped, the blue player had no response - the fifth turn.

And the First Player said "Genesis Chamber triggers moar times." And it was so.The First Player reached for his myr tokens and put them onto the battlefield. Then the First Player said, "I think it's time for some goblin tokens, too."And the First Player cast Goblin Matron, and fetched Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.Then the First Player said, "I'll cast this Mana Crypt and then Kiki-Jiki." The blue player did not respond.Then the First Player said, "I'll activate Kiki targeting Matron. I'll search for Beetleback Chief. He moved to the end step. The blue player didn't respond.The First Player saw all that he had done, and it was very good. Norin returned to the battlefield and more myr were made - the sixth turn.

Thus the board was entirely one-sided.The First Player attacked the blue player with everything. The blue player responded, "I scoop."The First Player took a drink - the seventh turn.
