A low-budget 3-piece combo (or 4-piece infinite combo) that can go off around turn 4 or 5. Intended to play against the casual decks on the left and can be made into a frontier deck.

Champion of Lambholt or Sigil Captain - creates counters from tokens

Animation Module - creates tokens from counters

Cryptolith Rite or Rishkar, Peema Renegade - creates 1 mana per creature

Midnight Guard - untaps per creature

Animation Module + Sigil Captain or Champion of Lambholt ensures that as long as you have 1 mana per token, you can keep triggering the counter/token loop. Midnight Guard with Cryptolith Rite or a +1/+1 counter and Rishkar gives 1 mana per creature entering the battle field.

Champion of Lambholt also becomes so large that none of your creatures can be blocked and if it's removed they still have a bunch of tokens to deal with.

Commune with the Gods to find pieces early.

Restoration Specialist is there for when animation module and/or nice enchantments hit the graveyard (because you can't pick Animation Module from Commune, it's advised you play hands where you already have it, or run enough Resto specialists to get them back when you're unlucky).

Armorcraft Judge for a lot of draw and a 3/3 body. Can also help with finding the pieces the hard way if you're still having trouble by that point. Can be replaced with Inspiring Call to protect against control.

Servant of the Scale and Avatar of the Resolute as generally great creatures that work with counters. Servant gives cheap and sticky counters, Avatar has nice trampling 'evasion' if you can't find the Champion and is sometimes a turn 2 4/3. Managorger Hydra could be interesting as a replacement as it allows to make a token every time an opponent casts a spell.

Hardened Scales to ramp faster if you don't have the combo so you stay in the game (and because it's generally a great card that I have lying around).

Feat of Resistance as protection (and counters) for your key pieces.

Manabase can be faster.

Metallic Mimic also works great with animation module and is more flexible than Sigil Captain.

Gavony Township or Collective Effort would be beneficial if you can keep the board.

Can be modified into a frontier format with Scout the Borders instead of Commune, Metallic Mimic instead of Champion and Collective Effort instead of the Captain. You may want to run more resto specialists for retrieving your pieces from the graveyard. Probably needs a sideboard that protects against graveyard hate.
