Deck Description

This is once again a modern eggs list, yet another one of my mind that wins using helix pinnacle, except this one unlike my other modern list Big Money Eggs can go off turn 3 with nut draws and will most often go off turn 4. Have fun egging up the pinnacle because the wild ride never ends!

you generate 6+ mana using lotus bloom, reshape into lotus bloom, ghost quarter eating up your own lands and krark clan ironworks making your artifacts into mana... Then you use open the vaults/faiths reward to bring them all back. Many spells and artifacts draw you cards, this gets you another open the vaults/faiths reward.
It makes a complex loop that has a different iteration each time, which means unlike other combo decks you have to play out each iteration of the loop.
Once you get down to 1 card in your deck you use your mana generation and one conjurers bauble to make infinite mana for helix pinnacle or just 20+ for banefire to the face.

Have you thought of using the Urza's Lands for extra mana gen?

I would have, however the deck does depend on it's colors to get it started, an early reshape around turn 2 can get you that turn 3 combo, with urza lands that's impossible however the urza lands would propel this deck to be nearly unbeatable turn 4 because then you could play through remand and mana leak. That and now you have to devote slots to expedition map or some other land fetch spell that would make our combo work less efficiently. It's too much work for what this deck wants to do.
