I will make this work. Somehow, I will.

The idea is to cast Retraction Helix (or Banishing Knack ) on either an Mirran Spy or Nettle Drone , then tapping them to return either an Ornithopter or Phyrexian Walker to your hand, and recast it, thus untapping the Spy or Drone. This is an infinite loop that doesn't achieve anything on it's own, but results in infinite damage to your opponent with either a Reckless Fireweaver , Impact Tremors , or another Nettle Drone .

Since we were running a lot of free artifacts anyway, I put this combo into an affinity shell. With enough artifacts, Frogmite or Sojurner's Companion can serve as the free artifact in the main combo, or just as big, cheap bodies. Thoughtcast draws though the deck to find combo pieces, and Galvanic Blast and Dispel are for protection.
