Why Feldon?

The primary benefit to using Feldon of the Third Path at the helm of a Paradox Engine deck is that he is the payoff to assembling the combo. Once you have generated an arbitrarily large amount of mana, and are looping Myr Retriever + Junk Diver, each casting untaps Feldon of the Third Path. This allows you to activate Feldon of the Third Path during every loop, netting you as many copies of creatures in graveyards as you'd like.

Furthermore, Feldon offers resiliency to the traditional Paradox Engine combo, as it can recur creatures from the graveyard. This can come in handy if both of your recyclers are in the graveyard, and you need to kick start this loop. This can also be usefull for making hasty mana dorks the turn you go off, assuming something like Iron Myr or Palladium Myr is in the graveyard.

Paradox Engine Combo

Step 1: Non-Land Mana Sources

This is where the mana rocks come in handy.

Step 2: Cast Infinite Spells

• Recyclers: Myr Retriever, Junk Diver, Scrap Trawler.
• Grinning Ignus

Step 3: Pay-Off

Aetherflux Reservoir, Hangarback Walker, Walking Ballista

Thoughts and Considerations

-1x Steel Hellkite
+1x Etali, Primal Storm
-1x Card Advantage
+1x Pirate's Pillage

Voltaic Key + Sensei's Divining Top = Draw 2 cards, one of them being Sensei's Divining Top.
If Paradox Engine is added to this mix, you can effectively draw your deck assuming you have 1 mana rock. Furthermore, if you have more than 1 mana rock, you'll be able to generate infinite mana while drawing your deck.
