This has been the most entertaining and enlightening comments thread I've ever seen on Gatherer. Thanks, folks :)

Pack Rat can get it in turn 5 by himself
Turn 2: Pack rat
Turn 3, make copy, swing for 2 (one 2/2)
Turn 4 make copy, swing for 6 (two 3/3s) (8 total)
Turn 5, make copy, swing for 12 (three 4/4s)(20 total)
I think that's a record by looking at these comments

A riddle:
You are playing a goldfish, on each turn you play a basic land, you may cast one creature in total, and cannot use the land for anything other than casting the creature. What is the fastest that you can kill your opponent?
This kills your opponent turn 7, as can Lost Leonin and Slith Firewalker. Is anything faster than turn 7? There are at least three shades that can do it by turn 6 if you allow use of the land. But is there another way to get under 7?

@Dankirk
Because discussions on the outdated gatherer censorship and comments like "Holy Thoctar, Batman!" are more "quality" than these ones?
I'll still with my duel decks comments thank you very much.

Although Thallid won't win when they are at 20, if they are at 22 then its the fastest 'single' creature killer at CMC 1. And he gets better than Woolly if you the target is at higher healths.
Assuming your health could be anything, then Death's Shadow is a turn 2 or 3 win (depending if you allow for -health for any reason) but I assume you are at 20 as well.
Leveler is a turn 7 win if not being able to draw doesn't make you lose.
Etched Monstrosity is turn 7 since you could remove its counters next turn before you attack.
Greater Gargadon is kinda close, since you could sac the lands and get it to kill 8.
Boldwyr Heavyweights is turn 7 since your opponent doesn't have creatures. Same with Desecration Elemental.
Thunderblust is turn 7 thanks to Haste.
Does he have cards? Turn 6 with Nyxathid
... (see all)

Mayor of Avabruck gets the job done on turn 6.
T1: Land. Go.
T2: Land. Cast Mayor of Avabruck
T3: Transform to Howlpack Alpha, swing for 3, and get a 3/3 wolf token.
T4: Swing for 6, and get a 3/3 wolf token.
T5: Swing for 9, and get a 3/3 wolf token.
T6: Swing for the win.
Geist of Saint Traft and Stromkirk Noble win on turn 7. I'm sure there a bunch of others in Innistrad as well what with all of the transformations. New Phyrexia probably has a lot as well with the Infect mechanic.

if you count commander cards, Ruhan of the Fomori gets the job done turn 7
also desecration elemental works nicely turn 7
if you can discard, which you probably can, avatar of discord t7
drinker of sorrow t7
mijae djinn t7 if you win the flips
phylactery lich t7 if you're allowed artifact lands
the classic phyrexian negator t7
ruinous minotaur t7
phyrexian vatmother t7
viashino sandstalker t7
viashino cutthroat t7
pardic dragon can t6 w/ firebreathing and the suspend
tempting wurm can t6
if you have three others in hand, Tarox Bladewing can t5
and since you are playing a goldfish who doesn't know how to play magic and block, hunted horror does it turn 5
