What are those custom pieces

So I build variations, but when I see other variants, they use pieces I have never seen.  How do you find them?  I know it's not custom since I've seen the same pieces between variants.

The pieces should be in the piece bank when you go into the editor. Try scrolling down if you don't see them.

No, Neo looks better.

It's a you problem and skill issue if you can't memorize the fairy pieces of Neo.

For all beginners out there, use Standard theme. If you use Neo theme you will be struggling to figure out which piece is which. 

Otherwise, you do you.
