A singleton deck created to explore the differences between potential variations in the Retraction Helix combo. The Variations I've checked so far: The fastest version with an average turn 4 assembly deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focus-pigeon-racing/update/ A version I watched on mtggoldfish deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focus-mtggoldfish/update/ The upgraded version with better cantrips, synergy, removal, and finishers deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focus-mtggoldfish-upgrade/update/ The combo is made incidental with in a midrange deck for more resilience, removal, and less dependence on the combo to win deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focustrinket-by-chance/update/ This is a test deck to compare Retraction Helix and Sprout Swarm with various untappers deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focus-sprout-swarm/update/ A variation with multiple combos between Midnight Guard , Sprout Swarm and Nettle Drone deck:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/helix-combo-variant-focus-midnight-gond/update/
