Deck Description

This is a Pioneer optimized version of my Pauper deck: https://www.mtgvault.com/thurge/decks/timmy-turner-pauper/

Win as quick as T2.

How to Play

The combo in the deck can actually formulate in a few different ways. Below are a few optimal plays in the right situations.

T1: Land, Blinderspit Gremlin T2: Land, Altar of the Brood, Helix on Gremlin, play/bounce Tormod's Crypt or Cathar's Shield.

T1: Land, Altar of the Brood T2: Land, Generator Servant T3: Land, Sacrifice Servant to play Nettle Drone or Zephyr Scribe with haste. Play Helix. Play either Tormod's Crypt or Cathar's Shield and bounce/replay, enabling infinite mill.

T1: Land, Blisterspit Gremlin T2: Land, Firebrand Archer T3: Land, Helix on Gremlin, play/bounce Tormod's Crypt or Cathar's Shield

T1: Land T2: Land, Firebrand Archer T3: Land, Drone/Scribe T4: Land, Helix, bounce/play generating infinite ping

Scribe's activated ability is actually relevant if you need to dig. Drone's can be relevant, but only in situations like the one below.

Boardstate: Scribe and Generator Servant on BF. Sac Servant to play Nettle Drone. Tap and ping opponent with Drone. Play Helix on Scribe. Play/bounce Crypt/Shield. Untap with both Drone and Scribe. Rinse and repeat.

The counters are in for protection and to trigger Scribe for looting when needed.

Added in Drawn from Dreams.

Added in Blisterspit Gremlin.

Deck discussion for Timmy Helix [Pioneer]

I'd replace ornithopter with another 0 drop artifact, because it is still a creature and wouldn't trigger zephyr scribe or firebrand archer. Try bone saw or spidersilk net.

Good call. I think I added Ornithopter early on as a blocker. But you're right. In a deck like this, it isn't absolutely necessary.
