Mono Blue Helix is a pauper comdo deck that needs a few pieces in play to get going. It isn't a competitive level deck, but it can sneak out wins against decks that aren't expecting it.

Retraction Helix and Banishing Knack are the two main engines of the combo. We cast it on our Mirran Spy , Battered Golem, or Zephyr Scribe to return Spidersilk Net and Accorder's Shield to our hand and immediately recast them. Recasting them untap the creature we helixed and lets us repeat. Lastly Elusive Spellfist uses the artifact ETB triggers to get infinite +X/+0 and unblockable or Golem Foundry creatures infinite 3/3 creatures.

Counterspell is run primarily to protect ourselves, but if our opponent is mostly non-interactive it can be used to disrupt whatever they're trying to do. Preordain and Ponder help us draw the pieces of our combo.

As you can see from the above, this one is a bit of an awkward combo since it requires 4 pieces. One of the nice things about it is you can hide most of the pieces in your hand until the turn you go off, since the artifact costs 0 and banishing / retraction only costs 1.
