Jeskai Ascendancy combo but with artifact.

All the combos start with Ornithopter and Retraction Helix.

First combo: Ornithopter+Retraction Helix+ Midnight Guard +Altar of the Brood. You basically cast Retraction Helix on Midnight Guard and bounce Ornithopter in your hand. Each time you cast Ornithoter to untap Midnight Guard . With Altar of the Brood in play the opponent mill for infinite.

Second combo: It is the same as the first combo except that u play Purphoros, God of the Forge instead of Altar of the Brood for infinite damage.

Third combo: Ornithopter or Midnight Guard +Retraction Helix+ Jeskai Ascendancy + Briber's Purse or Astral Cornucopia or Tormod's Crypt. In this combo, you'll need to cast Retraction Helix on Ornithopter or Midnight Guard and have Jeskai Ascendancy in play. Then you tap Ornithopter or Midnight Guard and play Briber's Purse or Astral Cornucopia or Tormod's Crypt where x=0. Then you bounce Briber's Purse or Astral Cornucopia or Tormod's Crypt back in your hand and you continue playing them. It will makes your creature +infinite/+infinite with Jeskai Ascendancy

Mana acceleration and stabilisation: Springleaf Drum +Ornithopter this mini combo makes easier to cast Jeskai Ascendancy and on turn 2, it also ramp for Midnight Guard or Purphoros, God of the Forge.

Card draw: Dig Through Time and Tormenting Voice help you get the cards you need to achieve your combo.

The sideboard is basically made against control deck who can destroy your combo and also have removal and mass removal for aggro deck.
