Made a fun thought experiment and sorted all my EDH decks by archetype so it's easier to chose a small subset to take on FNM without ending up stuck with the same archetype.

I tend to play with my friends at home so we have like your own slower meta. I wanted to know your opinion because I have been wanting some aggressive deck but it seems really fast to kill someone at T5, I guess some Voltron can do that on my playgroup (Bruenor with colossus hammer and something else). But I was asking more for a game win, assuming no one can stop you and you don't have a god's sent first hand. In which turn you think your aggressive deck will win on average?
My decks tend to win by combat damage, but they are more value oriented.
Edit: Is really nice to see people discussing decks and making posts here!
That mostly depends on what other players do to counter you.
Kardur games go fast and you can expect them to end in ~7-9 turns. You even win some of them. Games where you lose are also speed up by a lot.
Jirina / Danitha, even if you can kill a single opponent fast you have to deal with 3. Most likely board wipe would happen, so add several turns per wipe for recovery, assuming you haven't run out of steam. But even with 1 wipe, that could go over 10 turns easy.
Best thing here is that you can remove the most problematic players first. It's often not the players with early creatures btw, but those who just silently ramp or set up otherwise.
