Standard Deck Help forum

Hey guys, I need some help setting up a STANDARD nettle drone combo deck.
My plan is something like playing a bunch of 0 cost enchantments like Bone Saw and tapping Nettle Drone to do damage to my opponent with each enchantment. I need some 0 cost enchantments I could use and a Standard legal card that can "Return all artifacts you control to your hand" or something very close. for example Retract I would use retract but it isn't standard legal you see. I was wondering if there is any alternatives to retract that is standard legal. Also, i need some card draw like you get from Puresteel Paladin . I don't know if this is possible or not but any responses would be very kind. I am very new to mtg, so if i'm being stupid be gentle :) lol.
im assuming you mean 
cost equipment and maybe in the modern forum?

He means standard, and you don't have a lot of options in standard as far as cheap artifacts, or bouncing them. You're best bet would be to use Herald of Kozilek to make 1 colorless mana cards like Bonded Construct &Ghostfire Blade 0 to cast. If you're trying to cast a lot of colorless spells in 1 turn Kozilek's Sentinel has good synergy with that type of play. Also you're hand will deplete very quickly with this type of deck though so think about big card draw spells like Day's Undoing to re-load your hand.

I've used Nettle Drone and Molten Nursery alot, and i think they best serve as a secondary source of burn damage. But they shouldn't necessarily be the main focus in a standard deck. Don't get me wrong, they work great but as an added bonus to an aggro deck.

Well, I'm not sure about Puresteel Paladin effects, but Stone Haven Outfitter couuullld be a decent alternative, but I'm not sure if there are any others in standard right now.
As for Retract effects, the best I can think of right now is Displacement Wave, although that one I'm sure there are other kinds.
Just do a quick search in Gatherer and see if you can come up with any.
