Casual NON-infinite combo?

I'm a casual player with a relatively small budget, about $80-$100. I'm considering making a Sydri, Galvanic Genius deck, and when I was browsing Sydri decks, I noticed most of them were in the "combo" hub. Upon further investigation, I realized that all of the decks had only infinite combos. While infinite combos are fun, I don't really enjoy using them because most of the time they just end the game immediately. So do any of you know of any fun combos (especially ones involving artifacts) that I could use? Something like Sydri, Galvanic Genius+ Caltrops for example.

TL;DR: Looking for fun esper card interactions and combos that aren't infinite.

Paradox engine can let you cast tons of stuff in a turn. If you combine that with draw effects on tapping No land permanent, you can potentially chain together tons of stuff but you still ruin the risk of fizzle of out. Time sieve is another fun card if you can pump out tons of artifacts every turn. You might be able to chain together a few extra turns. Both of these cards can easily go infinite, but that's if you build your deck in a certain way.

She is cool with Staff of Nin. If you run Lightmine Field and play Liquid Metal Coating turn Lightmine field Into an artifact give it deathtouch with her that could work

Like TheDevicer said, Paradox Engine is great. If you combine it with, say, Temple Bell, and some dorks, you could go almost infinite without going over the top.

Normally, when you talk about "combos," you're describing interactions that end the game or create a lock. What you're looking for are just synergies between cards: interactions that produce beneficial effects, but that don't rise to the power of combos.

zelian12 I think it technically does, but I have it in my deck anyways.
