Here's a fun little concoction that got me to round 9 but a horrible hand and 4 mulligans that couldn't fix it screwed me over...
(Tip o' the hat to TitanMD since this list is based off of the one he came up with for the Epic Challenge -->

Flame-Kin ZealotMy modifications to his list, with all the restrictions this challenge poses in mind (especially
Oath of Druids being useless!), were all based on SPEED; it might be a big risk not to include
Eureka, but
Flame-Kin Zealot allows you to attack immediately, which means: a) game over for the AI on turn 2 or 3, especially with
Blightsteel Colossus on the table or b) victory in the face of defeat by a
Lightning Bolt to the face or a 3/3 Kithkin bashing you in the head to leave you at a very frustrating 2 life (in this challenge, a turn 3
Eureka to attack on turn 4 is too slow, especially with
Chandra Nalaar and
Garruk Wildspeaker).
Also, it's absolutely mandatory to have as many bombs as possible in your opening hand because you don't get any time at all to recover from a bad draw...
Aaaand, since 4 of the 5 creatures shuffle your graveyard into your library, you'll last much longer if for some odd reason the game lasts more than 4 turns.
