The problem with BSZ is, that you need two copies in the deck AND one exiled. Why? Cause when you cast BSZ (and thus trigger the Helix) the Trigger is resolved first and thus the BSZ you just casted cannot be tutored, so you need an second copy to grab.
This bumps up the need of BSZ to 3 at least, and the card is rather meh overall.
Regarding Mastermind's Acquisition, it is so darn slow. If it would have been an Instant I would consider it. Final Parting is just way worse than Gifts Ungiven which does basically the same thing, but with Instant speed and costs one less. Sure, it needs the U splash but you want it either way to be able to dig through the bib.
The soonest it makes something is turn 4, which only wipes the none relevant creaturs (aka no hate bears). The turn 5 (so the CMC 2 wipe) might be to slow, but I have to enough experience playing against Humans :/
The first combo doesn't work, since the Sly Requisitioner only triggers for none token Artefacts. Hence, you sac the random artefact, get a token (+ the +1/+1 counter) and that is it.
