Mono-U version of the Jeskai Ascendancy deck floating around Standard. This is meant to be a budget build.

Combo Engine: Retraction Helix + Zephyr Scribe = infinitely bounce any CMC 0 noncreature permanent you own.

Combo Targets: Astral Cornucopia, Tormod's Crypt

Finishers: Altar of the Brood (infinite mill), Elusive Spellfist (inf/3 unblockable creature)

Draw: Anticipate, Refocus

Backup Plan: Ensoul Artifact animates any of the 18 artifacts in the deck into 5/5 beaters. Ornithopter has evasion built in, too!

Not much of a Standard player, so any thoughts are appreciated. Dunno when this is going to be tested or anything. (Dunno about sideboarding either, lol. Current state's a WIP.)
