This deck is centered around the Meletis Astronomer (one of my favorite cards). It aims to use enchantments to trigger the Jeskai Ascendancy to untap mana dorks. Most of the enchanments draw a card, any of them aimed at the Meletis Astronomer will trigger his heroic and most of the time grab an additional enchantment from the top 3 cards on the draw pile. The +1/+1s from the Ascendancy add up and can make your creatures humungous for a combat win, Messenger's Speed gives trample if necessary.

Retraction Helix can be used to scoop up a cheap aura for a re-cast or to clear out blockers one by one, adding +1/+1 to your creatures, filtering a card from the deck, and untapping your mana dorks.

Altar of the Brood offers the milling effect on your opponents, Retraction Helix allows you to endlessly pick up and re-cast things, each time causing a mill.

Astral Conucopia is a 0 casting cost non-creature spell, so it can set the combo off early in the game.This deck can go off on turn 3 but it is much more common to win on turn 4-5

T1: Breeding Poolfoil (or Mana Confluence), Birds of Paradise

T2: Mana Confluence, Jeskai Ascendancy

T3: tap BOP for mana, play Altar of the Brood, BOP untaps, cast Astral Cornucopia, cast Retraction Helix on BOP. You're now able to endlessly cast and pick up Astral Cornucopia for 0 mana, triggering Altar of the Brood for a mill effect. Mill enough to deck out (ANY AND ALL) opponents and pass the turn. No combat or 2nd main phase necessary
