Turn 3 mega board in standard
I was just defeated with MTG Arena Standard on my opponent's turn 3; my 3rd hand hadn't even started yet. I don't know what happened. Suddenly, he has a full army on the field. I see cards like: 1x Calamity, Galloping Inferno, 3x Bloom Tenders, 5x Aurora Awakener, 3x Leyline Weaver, 3x Badgermole Cub, Formidable Speaker, and Terror of the Peaks. Furthermore, he also has 4x Leyline of the Guildpact on the field. He also suddenly has 8 lands. How is all this suddenly possible on his turn 3?
I was playing it on my phone.

Before the first turn, put Leyline of the Guildpact on the field.
Turn 1, play land.
Turn 2, play land and a Bloom Tender
Turn 3, play Aurora Awakener (Bloom Tender taps for 5 mana due to the Leyline)Awakener hits another Awakener or a Clone for it, and it spirals out from there due to 5 colors being present (again because of the Leyline). Hit another Awakener(-Clone) and so on. A total of 5 Awakeners would result in a total of up to 30 permanents, 29 of which you listed. The player can choose not to put a permanent card on the field, so less than 30 is still legit.
