Matthew:
and presumably Munch and I both have to exile 2 more just before you die since you had to block with your 2nd nightmare token in Munch's fatal attack...
Helm of Awakening and Tempt with Vengeance.
Matthew:
Attack Phase:
Tap and attack Munch with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed (6/6, Intimidate)
Tap and attack Munch with Grave Titan (7/7, Undying, Deathtouch)
Alright, let's see if my math works out the way it did in my head. (Spoiler alert: It won't since the base Zombies are 4/4. Apparently what I really need right now is BANDING. :p)
All 7 of my guys block the Grave Titan, killing it, and making it respawn. I take 6 from Mikaeus.
I sac one of the tapped Survivors to Grave Pact.
TURN 8:
Untap: Untap All
Upkeep:
Varchild's War-Riders burn down a bigger village. The Survivors flocks to Matt.
(I put a age counter on VW-R and make Grizzly put seven 1/1 red Survivor tokens in play).
Draw: Draw 1
Main:
Play a Mountain.
Tap 3 of my Mountains to give the Nemesis Mask to the AErathi Berserker.

Tap 4 more to just straight up steal your strategy with Stolen Strategy.
https://scryfall.com/card/bbd/64/stolen-strategy
Tap the Great Furnace to power up my Intimidator, +1/+1.
Combat:
ALright, Nothing ventured nothing gained. Cowards can't block Warriors as they say!!
Varchild rounds everyone up, big push straight through the Zombies, over the top and mob the planeswalker. Every nods solemnly. Mikaeus's Dark Magic mean that for many of them, they won't be coming back after this. But maybe it will be enough. Just Maybe, it'll be Just Enough.
Aerathi Berserker attacks and must be blocked by everyone on your side. As I don't think you have an instant speed tap effect, I'll just go ahead and calculate the damage and where it's going. You can tell me if I'm wrong.
6 Blockers times Rampage 3 mean he's +18/+18. Honestly I was expecting more. That puts him at 20/22.
8 damage can re-rekill the Grave Titan, 4 can kill the Risen Executioner, 8 more kills two of the other zombies. We'll say the two without Summoning Sickness were fresh enough to get in the way of his axes first. :D
Everyone else attacks and gets through, dealing
16 damage!
Varchild puts 3 more Survivors into play
I'll sac the 3 surviving Humans and a survivor to Grave Pact to cover all the Zombie kill triggers.
When Varchild dies, I get those 10 other Survivors back.
Main:
End:
My Enchantment curses Grave Pact. It deals 4 damage to Matt unless he sacs it.
End Turn.
