So here's the skinny on this one...

Generator Servant and Springleaf Drum are the obvious mana-ramp cards that allow for some early game crushing blows. For example, it is very possible to have Scuttling Doom Engine or Stormbreath Dragon out and attacking by T3. Similarly, Keranos, God of Storms can be out and doing damage by T3.

Ensoul Artifact effectively turns an Ornithopter; Darksteel Citadel, Briber's Purse or Tormod's Crypt into a 5/5 bomb early game. These are deadly combinations early on.

Perhaps the most lethal combination available within this deck involves Jeskai Ascendancy, Retraction Helix , Tormod's Crypt/ Briber's Purse and either Ornithopter or Triton Shorestalker. This is an infinite combo. I can not take credit for this combo as I learned of it from hateindigital's deck Pornithopter.

This is how it goes:

T1: land, Ornithopter, Springleaf Drum or Triton Shorestalker

T2 or T3: land, Jeskai Ascendancy

T3 or T4: land, Tormod's Crypt which gives +1+1 to Triton Shorestalker and Ornithopter. Retraction Helix played on Ornithopter giving another +1+1 and tapping said card. Then return Tormod's Crypt to your hand and play it again for 0 (giving both creatures +1+1) causing you to untap your creatures. Of course, you can then repeat this process until lethal flying and/or unblockable damage can be delivered.

Another amazing and lethal combination is a T4 Scuttling Doom Engine cast with a Generator Servant (with the help of some smaller creatures and Springleaf Drum ) combined with a Shrapnel Blast for the potential 17 damage. Bad ass!

Another fairly strong combo is T3 Ornithopter or Darksteel Citadel enchanted by Ensoul Artifact combined with a Shrapnel Blast for a potential 10 damage. Not bad at all!
