The general idea is to cast a turn 2 Skullbriar and go to town on whomever has the weakest board position or is playing the strongest general. From there, there's plenty of cheap removal and sources of evasion to keep up the beats long enough to get to 21 commander damage.

I've tried to skew the ramp options to cards that come down on turn 1 in order to maximize a turn 2 Skullbriar. This also maximizes my ability to re-cast him on turn 3 if he eats removal or some sort of flash blocker. It's also worth noting that most of the 1 drop mana dorks are elves for Immaculate Magistrate, they make perfect fodder for Skullclamp, and they all give a +1/+1 counter to Skullbriar with a Varolz, the Scar-Striped in play.

Should the Skullbriar plan go sour, Kokusho, the Evening Star + Sac Outlet + Recursion is the backup plan.
