My take on a combo deck for post-rotation standard. The main deck is pretty cheap to build itself (around $50), but it could be even cheaper if you took out the expensive lands.

Wombo Combo

It's a Wombo Combo.

How it works:

Basically, you play Herald of Kozilek and Foundry Inspector to make your cards cost less. Then, you get out Aetherflux Reservoir and play out your hand of all your low-costing artifacts and all others you can cast for free. This nets you a lot of life off of your Aetherflux Reservoir and gets you toward the 50. After this, bounce all of your artifacts you can cast for free with the help of Herald of Kozilek and Foundry Inspector with Paradoxical Outcome. This also lets you draw a lot of cards, so play out your hand and you should be above 50 life. Then, activate Aetherflux Reservoir's ability and deal 50 damage to your opponent.

Card explanations:

Mainboard:

Herald of Kozilek and Foundry Inspector: These two guys make your artifacts cheaper to play them faster and help set up your combo.

Metalspinner's Puzzleknot and Prophetic Prism: These are two important artifacts that can give you cards to accelerate your combo, and can even be used in the combo when their costs are reduced by either Herald of Kozilek or Foundry Inspector. Prophetic Prism also helps you filter your mana to black mana to pay for Metalspinner's Puzzleknot's ability.

Panharmonicon: This card does wonders for this deck. It lets you draw extra cards from Metalspinner's Puzzleknot and Prophetic Prism, and gets you extra artifacts with Glint-Nest Crane.

Paradoxical Outcome: This card gives you more cards to combo off with, and it also lets you recast your artifacts to gain more life off of Aetherflux Reservoir.

Geier Reach Sanitarium: even though this card is only a 1-of, it still helps the deck out a lot. It helps you throw out cards you don't need and lets you draw your combo pieces at an accelerated rate.

Endless One: This card is spectacular in this deck. It can act as a low costing spell to trigger Aetherflux Reservoir, but it can also act as a blocker if you're in a bind.

Terrarion: This card allows you to filter your mana to get the color needed and draws you a card after you do so. It also only costs 1 mana, so it can get you your Aetherflux Reservoir triggers pretty easily.

Sideboard:

Filigree Familiar: This card gives us a body to block, gains more life towards our 50, and nets us a card when it dies to give us some card advantage.

Imprisoned in the Moon: This card is more removal and it can get rid of those nasty planeswalkers.

Padeem, Consul of Innovation: This guy gives all your artifacts hexproof to protect your combo, but he also is a good blocker for any damage your opponent feels like putting at you.

Lost Legacy: This card is very useful in the sideboard. We can sideboard it in when the opponent's deck is heavy on control and ruins our combo.

Incendiary Sabotage and Unlicensed Disintegration: We will want to sideboard these card in when we're playing against aggro. In my opinion, Unlicensed Disintegration is better against control to midrange decks. It allows you to zap your opponent's planeswalkers for 3 damage.

Saheeli Rai: This is a pretty situational sideboard option. She can stall by making more copies of your Panharmonicons and other artifacts/creatures you control with her -2. Her +1 can help you dig for combo pieces.

Smuggler's Copter: This vehicle can be crewed by any of our creatures. It also provides us with a bigger blocker when it is crewed, and can dig out more cards for us.

Revolutionary Rebuff: This card is to generally stop our opponent from doing things we don't like. For example, we can counter their Demolish if they try to destroy our Aetherflux Reservoir or another important artifact we want to keep around.

Feedback is greatly appreciated. Also, if you liked the deck, please give it a "+1".
