However there is a SUPER EASY way of doing this!
IllegallySam made a comment on the other solution that it popped very late in the duel well after the 4th turn. This happened after a skill quest. His thought was that the skill quest reset the turn counter. That is exactly what happened!
Go into your Help and Options mean and reset your skill quests.
UPDATE
Legaia Dragon informed me that you do not have to reset your skill quests. You can highlight the card and zoom in to play the skill quest anytime.
Help and Options > Settings > Gameplay
At the bottom of the menu you will find the Reset Tips option.
This not only resets your tips but also all of the skill quests.
Create any deck that has your preferred card with converted mana cost of 7 and play normally. Play a card that will prompt a skill quest once you have the card in your hand and the required lands in play. Complete the skill quest and within the next four turns play your card with converted mana cost of 7 and BOOM!
I used an instant to prompt the skill quest but there are many others you could use.
Go here to view skill quests:
Help and Options > Help
The following will prompt a skill quest:
Enchantment
Enchantment – Aura
Counterspell
Activated Abilities
Triggered Abilities
First Strike
+X / +X Counters
Flying and Reach
Graveyard Interactions
Deathtouch
X-Spells and Repeatable Abilities
Equipment
Lifelink
Token Making
Planeswalkers
Note that skill quests will pop up when you or an opponent plays a card.
The odds of pulling this achievement off through just plain playing the game are essentially non-existent. This isn't a fun achievement to try either, and considering this is already a game that expects to take over your life if you want to get all of the achievements, this time wasting achievement is an even bigger waste of time.
The odds of pulling this achievement off by specifically going for it are still astronomical. You NEED to have both copies of a specific card they only give you 2 copies of to work with. I'm not a statistician, but from what I figure that alone brings it down to about a 1.3% chance of having both in your opening hand, and it never once happened that I got both copies of Animist's Awakening in my opening hand in 2 hours of attempting this legitimately. If you only have one in your opening hand it figures to be a 1 in 50 shot each time you draw to get the other.
It gets worse from there. Then, you still have to have enough lands and a 7 cost creature. Even if you get all three of those, , you still have to have enough blind luck to hit 1 land with your first casting of Animist's Awakening, and 2 out of 3 at least on your second. These are both approximately 50% chances if you specifically build a worthless 30 forest deck just for this achievement, dropping your already significantly low chance of success by 75%. Again, I'm not a statistician, but that puts the odds at happening into this achievement while specifically going for it at a fraction of a percent per attempt and leaves you at the mercy of chance.
No amount of skill awards you this achievement, hence it isn't an achievement at all. It's just something that happens or doesn't, even if you try hard and do everything right, and that's garbage.

2x Evolutionary Leap
1x Nissa Pilgrimage
3x Meteorite
2x Zendikar Roil
4x Axebane Stag
2x Nissa Revelation
10x Non-creature Artifacts (Like Throwing Knife or Sigil of Valor)
30x Forest
The Artifacts are just filler, as the deck builder will not let you use more than 30 lands.
The idea is to hit the Sunblade Elf on turn 1, and the Evolutionary Leap on 2. Sacrifice the Elf, and get either another Elf, or the Stag.
Then just get to 7 lands. Once you have 7 lands and a Stag in hand, zoom in on almost any card, and on the right should be a menu item (Activated Ability, etc.). Select that and press A, and then you should see Y 'Play Skill Quest'.
Press Y and play through the Skill Quest. Once you get back to the original game, Cast your Stag, and the Achievement should pop.

Try to get the following in your starting hand:
7 cost creature (Axebane Stag or Gaea's Revenge)
2x Animist's Awakening
3-4x Forest
Turn 1: 1 land: Forest. Pass*.
Turn 2: 3 lands: Forest. Animist's Awakening for 1, get 1 land.
Turn 3: 6-7 lands: Forest. Animist's Awakening for 3, get 2+ lands.
Turn 4: 7-8 lands: Forest. 7 cost creature.

Example: Wretched Gryff has a casting cost of 7. Using the emerge ability, you can sacrifice a creature and pay five plus a blue to cast (which is further reduced by the converted casting cost of the sacrificed creature).
On your third turn, cast any creature with a cost of 3. On your fourth turn, sacrifice that creature to cast Wretched Gryff for 2 plus a blue. Achievement unlocked. There are several other possible emerge creatures that can be cast this way, and any basic emerge deck should be able to unlock this achievement easily.

This achievement is almost impossible to get it if you don't build a special Deck for this. First of all, unlock the 2 green sorcery cards called "Animist’s Awakening" by buying booster packs. Once this step is done, create a Deck with 30 Forest Mana Cards, 2 "Animist’s Awakening", 4 "Axebane Stag" (available at the start of the game) and complete it with 24 random cards.
Now, start a duel against the AI. In your first hand you NEED (or get them in your next three turns by draw) 4 forest card, 2 "Animist's Awakening" and 1 "Axebane Stag".
Once you have this hand, play a forest in your First turn. On your Second turn, play another forest and cast"Animist’s Awakening" with an X cost of 1. If you get a land with this effect you can continue, if not, restart the duel. Third step, another forest and the second "Animist’s Awakening" with an X cost of 3. You need AT LEAST two forest by this effect, if you don't get them, restart the duel. Once you do this, on your Fourth turn just put your last forest and cast "Axebane Stag".
This is going to take quite a few turns, but there isn't another way to get this achievement with the current Magic Origins set.
