Use Artificer's Assistant to assemble the combo as fast as possible and find win condition. The bird can be thought of as an additional copy of your win condition, for it's ability to scry whiling "comboing off." Use Zephyr Scribe to loot to grab what you need off top. It also is a way of finding whatever you are missing very early. By giving each of your artifacts a scry, your deck requires less cantrips to find things. You can include more 0 mana artifacts to count as additional chances to find pieces For the starting test deck: deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-play-test-deck/ For the crowding varitation of the combo: deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focustrinket-by-chance/
