So if you are wondering why there isn't a decklist it's because in trying to build a helix deck, all I found is all the reasons to be building something else, it seems like if you can either make enough mana to make helix work or double enough counters on it, there are soooo many other faster ways to have gotten the win by the time you are still a couple turns from the win with helix.
So I'm going to just say cut and paste Drok's blue white board control build, adding gilder bairn and springleaf drum, so that somewhere along the way to you don't have to wait 20 turns of pumping into helix before it might go off. and springleaf gives you the chance to use gilder over and over while cheapening his cost to use.
But this is really more of a gilder combo, and if I was doing that, it would be closer to a plainswalker deck than helix cause you could get what you want to win from the walker in 2 turns rather than like 5 or 6 from a helix.

Helix Pinnacle has shroud.
s.o.b. you're right. what a stupid card.
Yep, thats pretty much the consensus.
nice infinite mana dump in legacy and vintage though.
That's why its called "Challenge" of the week. Not "Cake Walk" of the week.
Just kidding.
But seriously, I have absolutely no clue how to build I viable FNM-worthy Helix Pinnacle deck. I fail at life. I'd be tempted to go turbo-fog + helix pinnacle. But no one wants to actually play that, certainly not me.
ha, funny ... jerk - j/k well I choose the I'm not even going to make an epic fail in this case, though you challenged it, I think you should have to build it ha :op
"But no one wants to actually play that, certainly not me."
I DO I DO I DO
I just dont want to build it. too much playtesting required. lol
Here's my build (SO not standard, by the way). I built it for a bet so it ended up as massive counter acceleration with turbo fog and extra cards whenever you play an enchantment to ensure a steady stream of Fogs. Note that this deck intentionally has no creatures, token generators, or other means of defense, all you have is fog (as per the rules of the bet).
Look Ma, No Hans!

The deck is exceptionally good against beatdown but has little way to fight combo and burn kills it almost no matter what. THe deck wins 9th or 10th turn on average but it's very dependent on your draws.
