I am not sure if anyone else posted this idea, because I have not seen it. But I do have a replay to show you.

Basically, you just try and build an army of Swordwrath and get Rage as fast as you can. Once you have around 12-15, you are ready. Just rush straight to the enemy's statue and rage. It'll destroy the statue in no time.
HOWEVER, there are many cons with this tactic. What ever you do, do not "tick" the opponent. Do not let him buy a Castle Archer. Put your Swordwrath army in secrecy, hide them in your base.
If he constantly attacks or already built an army, just turn to plan B. Just play normally.
This tactic usually works only because the person spams miners and does Albowtross/Giant massing (leaving tons of openings).
This tactic needs to be used at a right moment/time, but if it works, you'll finish the match in less than 5 minutes (And by finish I mean you can lose too).
Big maps, small maps, whatever. It's all good.
I just want to share my ideas here, don't expect to use this all the time. It's pretty risky.
