This deck is based on one of my favorite convoluted infinite combos. It requires four pieces: a free (0 cost) artifact, a way to bounce that artifact, a creature that untaps when you cast that artifact, and a threat that triggers each time the artifact is cast. The original concept used Jeskai Ascendancy to both untap your creatures and make them bigger, making any evasive creature a kill condition with only three pieces.

I tried to include 0 cost artifacts that had multiple purposes, including: Astral Cornucopia, Chrome Mox, Engineered Explosives, Everflowing Chalice, Herbal Poultice, Mox Amber, Mox Opal, Spellbook, Tormod's Crypt, and Welding Jar. There are plenty, so having multiple options for redundancy is best.

The bounce effects used are either Banishing Knack or Retraction Helix. This is the least redundant part of the combo, although I tried to include a lot of ways to recur instant and sorcery spells with things like Snapcaster Mage.

If you don't have the Ascendancy in play, Battered Golem, Mirran Spy, Pristine Skywise, and Zephyr Scribe all untap whenever you cast one of your 0 cost artifacts.

Nettle Drone doubles as an untapper for the combo, or can deal infinite damage if you have a second untapper. Pristine Angel requires you to attack with it first, but allows you to combo off during your second main phase with Nettle Drone or Altar of the Brood.

Elusive Spellfist is your best threat, but any creature with Prowess and Flying can do a decent job: Bloodwater Entity, Mistfire Adept, and Stormchaser Mage. Nettle Drone and Altar of the Brood give you non-attacking ways to kill.

Mother of Runes and Thassa, God of the Sea can make any of your creatures more evasive, including your commander.

Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage allows you to combo off at instant speed.
