Ivan Jen's build with minor tweaks. Seeker of the Way removed from main and side for more resilient 1drops, Jeskai Charm removed for Triton Tactics to help against damage-based removal and sweepers. the main deck is now 38 1-drops, ascendancy, and lands.

Jeskai Ascendancy + 2 creatures + Springleaf Drum + Retraction Helix goes infinite. one creature generates mana with drum, the other uses helix to bounce the drum. you can then loot through the deck as much as you want and run infinite power and toughness dudes at the opponent. Akroan Crusader being targeted by helix can generate the second creature by itself.

plan b is just RW heroic beatdown using helix as a tempo play.

seems fun, sort of a standard equivalent to tempo twin? as of writing, the deck without lands is sub-$30.

the manabase seems iffy, there are a ton of taplands that disrupt both aggro and combo plans, and the rest is painlands, that make stuff like dragon mantle awkward/delicate outside of comboing.
