Helm isn't banned in any format where the helm isn't already there. Currently the helm really only shows up in EDH and some legacy.

No. {rest in peace /{ley line of the void} says if a card goes to the graveyard, it's exiled instead. Replacement effect. The helm says to continue milling until X cards are put in your graveyard. No cards make it to the graveyard so the deck is endlessly milled.  Cheapest win con I've ever seen. Helm should be next on the banned list (I hope).
Banned in what format?
EDH/Commander

Malleo

 {Mycosynth Lattice} +  {Nevinyrral's Disk}
It's a total board wipe

Someone wanna explain to me this combo with helm of obedience and rip cuz I'm not seeing it, and even at that, what seems to be implied would make rip/leyline an loop with any card that says put x cards in graveyard

The thing that makes it keep milling is the fact that it makes you continue milling UNTIL the condition is met (the condition being X cards or a creature going to the grave). Once that condition is met, the effect can end. Since no cards can go to the graveyard, the condition can never be met and the card's effect keeps going on. Cards that just say "mill X cards" like {Increasing Confusion} or {Glimpse the Unthinkable} wouldn't keep going, since it doesn't care whether or not those cards actually hit the graveyard, like the helm does.

I like the combos... The time sieve combo you have there will go well in my Sen Triplets deck.

{splinter twin} + {captain of the mists}

Also {pestermite}, {Deciever Exarch}, {Zealous Conscripts}, {Village Bellringer} are each combo cards for splinter twin or {Kiki Jiki, mirror breaker}. {Restoration Angel} is an additional combo card with Kiki, but not with splinter twin.

 {Corpsejack Menace} +  {Primordial Hydra} is a fun one! Was majorly losing then came back pretty strongly to win.
Same friend a few games later used  {Isochron Scepter} +  {Redirect} on me which was just all my nope especially since I was using an enchantment heavy deck.

 {Stuffy Doll} and  {Guilty Conscience}

{Pili-Pala} and  {Grand Architect}

{Knowledge Pool} and   {Curse of Exhaustion}
