Challenge

Using only cards legal in Standard1 and given the seven-card hand of your choice, win the game as quickly as possible.

Assumptions

Aside from the choice of your starting hand, you do not have perfect luck. You may assume nothing about the cards you draw other than that they will be Standard-legal.

In this puzzle, since you may only use a seven-card hand, winning “quickly” refers only to the turn of the game.
