Combo Lines

Siona + Shielded by Faith + Concordant Crossroads/Altar of the Brood

Siona + Shielded by Faith + Earthcraft + Mentor of the Meek/Skullclamp

Siona + Shielded by Faith + Phyrexian Altar + Mentor of the Meek/Skullclamp

Siona + Shielded by Faith + Phyrexian Altar (without draw engine) -> Generate Infinite mana, sac and replay Siona until you hit Pattern of Rebirth. Sac dude with Pattern to search for Mentor of the Meek and draw your whole deck.

Siona + Phyrexian Altar + Academy Rector -> Fetch Shielded by Faith

Siona + Phyrexian Altar + Pattern of Rebirth + dude -> Fetch Rector/Boonweaver to fetch Shielded by Faith

Siona + Shielded by Faith + Sigil of the Nayan Gods + nonsummoning sick dude = Kill one player now, really just a clutch situational move if other wincons are exiled or out of reach. This card should be used to cycle most of the time.

Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest + Altar of the Brood/Concordant Crossroads

Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest + Mentor of the Meek/Skullclamp

Why Earthcraft

Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest is a decent backup combo to our main win line of Shielded by Faith. Not only are they both enchantments which can be found by most of our tutors. Squirrel Nest is also an aura, and can be grabbed by Siona's ETB trigger.

Both cards have the added effect of synergizing with cards outside of each other. Earthcraft can combo with Siona as well, is great ramp with the dudes she naturally makes, and our hatebears. Squirrel Nest makes creatures that can let us draw with Mentor, Skullclamp and can produce extra mana through Phyrexian Altar.

Other Possible Combos

Blasting Station is another pretty good outlet for both Siona or Squirrel Nest Combo. Unfortunately it gets shut off by Null Rod Effects which are in this list. Yes Phyrexian Altar is affected in this manner as well. However, Altar can provide more value than Blasting Station outside of combo scenarios, and is less likely to be dead card in our hand at any point in the game.

Heliod + Walking Ballista, the hot new combo, doesn't seem optimal here. Both are creatures, one an enchantment and one an artifact so they are not hard to tutor for. Walking Ballista provides an outlet for our infinite mana as well, but it would need to the be the fourth piece with Sionna + Shielded + Phyrexian Altar/Earthcraft. At that point it would be a redundant piece to Mentor/Skullclamp, without the utility to draw cards for setup pre-combo.

However Heliod seems like kind of a dead card here, he doesn't have any combos or large interactions with the rest of the deck. He can gain life in a grindy situation which is something to consider.
