Alright, let's walk the path of the warrior! While Kor Blademaster doesn't have the punch of Swiftblade Vindicator, it gives double strike to good old Kazuul's Toll Collector! Resolute Strike really helps when you can't get Sigarda's Aid. The deck has a little bit oomph now, but it's more consistent! Lot's of options to think about, from Nahiri, Heir of the Ancients to Bruenor Battlehammer. So far I'm trying to keep things fast and simple.
So, the new set is here! Boots of Speed is an obvious choice to include - at least as long as we have to run slower creatures like Kazuul's Toll Collector. Bruenor Battlehammer is a bit too costly, but his ability can save a prolonged game. I'm considering running a couple of them instead of Temur Battle Rage or the Toll Collectors.
Just had a chance to play at a local FNM! The combo is indeed brutal - if you get Sigarda's Aid in time. While Kazuul's Toll Collector is a somewhat decent substitute, it's too slow. I decided to include Crystal Slipper and a third Swiftblade Vindicator, although I'm also considering Idyllic Tutor and Rune of Speed.

Help me make the ultimate Pioneer Hammer Time deck!

This is my first Pioneer deck which I made for local FNM games. I don't have much competitive experience, so any help is much welcome!

Main combo of the deck is Colossus Hammer + Sigarda's Aid , supported by cheap creatures with haste or double strike. In an ideal game, you can win the game in turn 3! If you already have the hammer in your opening hand, you can use Open the Armory to fetch other helpful cards like Shadowspear.

Creatures: Previously, I used Fervent Champion, Gingerbrute and Swiftblade Vindicator as the main hammer wielders. In the Warrior version, Fireblade Charger, Champion of the Flame and Kor Blademaster are the main hammer wielders, with Kazuul's Toll Collector being the "last resort" backup. Ingenious Smith is also in to help fetch hammer.

Artifacts & Auras: Except the full set of Colossus Hammer, only other equipment is a single Shadowspear for all your trampling needs. Boots of Speed can also be added, since the Warrior build is rather slow. Removal goes here as well - if you go with Auras like Chained to the Rocks or Oppressive Rays, you can fetch them with Open the Amrory. Or you can go with artifacts like Glass Casket and try to get them with Ingenious Smith!

Instants & Sorceries: Full sets of Open the Armory for tutoring and couple of Gods Willing for protection. Resolute Strike is a great alternative to Sigarda's Aid, if you are running Warriors. You can also go with Fling for the Fireblade Charger + Fling combo!

Thanks for any help!
