{Jeskai Ascendancy} + {Astral Cornucopia} + {Retraction helix} + multiple creatures
This combo is what I'm playing :P T2 win!!!
Posted a deck around it yesterday in standard under Jeskai Combo.
I feel like an idiot but I'm totally missing what's going on?

i'm happy to crack the code for you but first I'd like you to just try to reread {jeskai ascendency}. that is the secret to the combo and I really feel like it might be an aha moment if you can figure it out for yourself.
Jeskai on the battle field with a some 1/1 creatures out. Play the artifact for x=0. Everyone gets +1/+1 and untap. Play the instant that let's your creature tap and return the artifact. Play the artifact again for x=0. Everyone gets +1/+1. Tap to return artifact. Repeat repeat. You have multiple 1000/1000 creatures. Swing
But please tell me how you're doing this T2

You need a nut draw but here
T1 any UWR land say {Mana Confluence} play {Ornithopter} and {Springleaf Drum} tap Thopter and Drum for 2nd Drum
T2 {Mana Confluence} into {Jeskai Ascendancy} pay 0 mana for say {Astral Cornucopia} unwrapping Thopter. Then tap 2nd Drum and Thopter for {Retraction Helix} bing bang boom you win
I have a modern build that is very reliable and if it goes to T4 then it is running slow. Only problem is all the life loss from shock lands and fetch lands.
It runs a cantrip combo instead of this. More or less the entire deck is the combo because it lets you play through your entire deck and hit em with a {grapeshot} and/or swing with monstrous {birds of paradise} or other mana dorks

Would you be so kind as to post your list? I'd like to try it out.
Sure

I totally derped on casting X for (0) :)
But tbh that version is VERY hit and miss the real Stabdard one goes off T4 with dbl caryatid :P
