Golem Helix (Pauper MTG Deck)

Target Battered Golem with retraction helix.
Play a 0 mana artifact.
Tap the Battered Golem to bounce the artifact.
Replay the 0 mana artifact which untaps Battered Golem and that's the loop. Makes infinite etb triggers to win with Golem Foundry, Impact Tremors or Reckless Fireweaver.

Lots of redundancy in the creatures and artifacts. Mirran Spy does the same thing as Battered Golem and Banishing Knack does the same thing as Retraction Helix.

Best case scenario can go off with some consistency turn 4.

Current sideboard has 2 more copies of golem foundry to counteract the elemental blasts. Nothing dies to Electrickery. This list started budget and ended very not that.

Need help with:

Currently needs more card draw.
Needs more mana, not sure if I want to put in Saprazzan Skerry
Haven't tested matchups yet.
Kind of thinking about mainboarding some kind of protection but don't know if that's a good idea.
Nettle Drone is an all in one option, but it dies to electrickery, but not the elemental blasts. Not sure if mainboardable.
