This is being built to combo Heliod, Sun-Crowned with either Walking Ballista or Triskelion, a combo we all know and love (or if you don't know it, give one of them lifelink with Heliod, then remove a +1/+1 counter to ping an opponent for 1 damage, triggering Heliod to put another +1/+1 counter on Ballista or Triskelion; rinse and repeat). It's an artifact deck at its core, but with a goal of finding that combo to win fast (not quite full cEDH fast, but it wouldn't be hard to make those upgrades if you have them [Moxen, etc]). The beautiful thing is that once either of those hits the battlefield with Heliod in play, since everything can be activated at instant speed, it's game over; Ballista or Triskelion have to get countered to stop it. If someone attempts any instant speed removal, you just respond at instant speed to keep going with the combo. If they respond to you activating Heliod to give lifelink, then respond by activating it again, and then continue with the combo (obviously, assuming you can pay for it). This is probably strong enough to be cEDH, but it has room for pricier upgrades I don't own.

There are tons of ways to tutor Walking Ballista (probably going to use 9 or 10), and about 2/3 of those will tutor for Triskelion. Similarly, there are a decent handful of ways to recur either from your grave, plus a number of ways to protect them from removal. Fill up the rest with ramp, card draw, and permanent removal, and tons of other juicy artifacts to boost the theme.

Monoskelion and are not an infinite loop with Heliod, but they do allow creature removal option at 1 mana for 1 damage... which can be useful to finish off opponents' creatures that barely survive an attack/block, or remove small stuff like an Esper Sentinel. It gives you a lot of board control over creatures and provides a mana sink as well.
