alright i have a couple variants of how to go infinite
Mainly my first variant is
Bloom tender + umbral mantle + 5 color creature
another variant would be
Bloom tender + seedcradle witch + manaforge cinder - 4 colors
Intresting synergy with scarecrows
ScareCrone allows complete draw
Scuttlemutt allows a quick 5 colors since you can pick more than one with it's ability.
some ways to get this to work.
here's a rough list i made and i am no super deckbuilder so it is beyond perfect.
Decklist using elves... very slow and has a 5th turn win.(block)
// Lands
8 [SHM] Forest (1)
4 [SHM] Swamp (1)

| as soon as i saw Helix Pinnacle in the spoiler i wanted to try to find a way to use it, and you pretty much just gave the idea lol... i've always been an avid 'fun' combo player (hate storm) so i may actually give this a shot |

| Are u serious?? Helix Pinnacle sucks. Its a novel idea and cool for casual or games where you are playing an idiot, but there are better things to do and ways to win with 101 mana... |

This is the casual section, though. The point isn't to make a competitive deck out of this combo, then... it is to make it work despite its suckyness.
But I don't play combo, so don't ask me how. |

once you reach infinite mana (mantle is on board obv.) you equip mantle to crone to bring back any other artifact, then sac it to draw, then untap crone via mantle, rinse and repeat
i know its casual but i've always loved combo decks and with a possibility for infinite mana, im damn sure going to try to make it work for competition.... maybe i'll fail, maybe i wont, just dont hate me when i beat you with a Helix Pinnacle on turn 5-6 lol |

a) crimson wisps gives haste (if it happens to happen that way)
b) noone ever said you had to go off the turn scarecrone comes into play
tender, mutt, crone + mantle all on board, with crone able to tap = infinite mana.... tap mutt to make tender 5c, tap tender for 5 mana, equip mantle, use 3 to untap, rinse and repeat... infinite mana.... equip mantel to crone, sac mutt + tap crone to bring back, rinse and repeat, draw ur deck, play spell with X=win, good game |
