Ohhhh boy, who's ready for some statistically improbable jank turn 0 combos???
Deck construction: No lands-not one, all 0 and 1 cost artifacts, only artifacts, all the artifacts I'm about to mention, Leyline of Anticipation being the only non-artifact, and of course Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain. That's it.
Opening hand:
Easy right?
Begin the game with Leyline of Anticipation. Insist your opponent go first.
During their upkeep or whenever on their turn, flash in Lotus Petal, Mox Opal and Mana Crypt for free. Use Mana Crypt to pay for Mana Vault, floating one. Tap Mana Vault, sac Lotus Petal, and tap Mox Opal to pay for Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, floating 2 colorless now. Use that 2 to pay for Sol Ring and Voltaic Key, drawing two cards. Tap Sol Ring to tap Voltaic Key to untap Mana Vault, floating 1, tap Mana Vault to cast Grim Monolith(which you just drew), draw a card, now floating 2. Tap Grim Monolith and use the 2 to cast Paradox Engine(which you just drew), drawing a card. Cast any 0 cost artifact from the 2 cards in your hand. Draw a card. Untap all your stuff with Paradox Engine. Continue casting 0 and 1 cost artifacts, drawing through your deck(and tapping all of your artifacts, getting loads of mana) until you find Aetherflux Reservoir. Cast it. Continue drawing and casting until you have gained enough life to machine gun your opponents with Aetherflux Reservoir. Thank your opponent for going first.
Notes:
Run a cheap sac outlet or two. Jhoira isn't a 'may' ability so you don't want to mill yourself.
Hopefully Aetherflux Reservoir isn't at the bottom, but even if it is, you can use Ashnod's Altar to sac and recast Jhoira enough times(with all the mana you've collected as part of the untapping shenanigans) to get enough triggers, thus enough life.
What do you all think?
Plus running no lands means no Mox Diamond. That seems a little sad panda to me.

Snivy__, hwagner, Shane.Allen!
enpc two things: I did stop to think, and determined that I should :)
And I fit in Mox Diamond anyway, I only need it for the cats trigger.

Could you build this commander deck right now so I can see the full list? I currently am thinking of a standard brew with this type of paradox combo
