This main combo of this deck includes the following cards:

Jeskai Ascendancy.

Altar of the Brood.

A mana producer like Sylvan Caryatid or Rattleclaw Mystic.

A zero cost artifact. In this deck we use Tormod's Crypt others that work are Astral Cornucopia and Briber's Purse.

And the magic that is Retraction Helix

These help our main combo:

Dragon Mantle allows you to draw into your combo pieces.

Taigam's Scheming and Commune with the Gods also accomplish this.

With all these cards in your graveyard you can delve with Dig Through Time and Treasure Cruise for great card advantage]]

It goes like this: play the mana producer, play Jeskai Ascendancy, and play a zero cost artifact. Then Retraction Helix the mana producer bouncing the artifact. Jeskai Ascendancy allows you to untap the mana producer and bounces the artifact, which allows you to draw indefinitely. You do this until you find Altar of the Brood and then mill them out by having the artifact enter repeatedly.

In the sideboard we run Swan Song in order to counter removal spells targeting your combo pieces and the same goes for Negate

Lightning Strike and Arc Lightning are for fast deck removal and the powerhouse that is Goblin Rabblemaster

Other than these matchups you do not want to take out anything because you are a combo deck.

I hope this did a decent job of explaining the deck to newcomers.
