Hey, I think Mycosynth Lattice is totally necessary. It enables you to kill lands for U and allows for faster Memnarch steals once you add him to your deck. I just saw that Lattice wasn't in your wishlist and wanted to make sure you knew how good it could be for you.
Hey, i built a sydri deck too and i think you should try trinket mage with the mirrodin artifact lands. Its also very good to fetch the needed capsules and
spellbombs.
I say if both if you can! Both are very powerful, but i tend to like more agent of bolas for his digging/filter ability and can turn artifacts lands in 5/5. But both are very good

Lattice actually lets you kill lands for 1
Now, I was thinking that the Colossus might be a decent card to include. I mean, it's a 10/10 indestructible that becomes a 20/20 with trample. Sydri gives it Life Link and Deathtouch, which basically makes it a horrible murder machine. Yes, it's expensive to activate it's monstrosity, but Sydri runs a lot of artifact mana anyway.
Any cut suggestions for the Cranial Plating? Perhaps Unbender Tine, since it's the least abuse-able of my untappers.
Oh and I cut Vedalken Engineer for Journeyer's Kite. I generally prefer land fetching to mana dorks, and Engi isn't as easily abuse-able or recurable here. I also have a definite thing for Vampire Nighthawks with evocative names.

I know it's risky, but I'm a little fond of Prototype Portal and/or Soul Foundry. Portal especially, because it can imprint artifact lands for a free land every untap.
Unwinding Clock could get amusing if you have a high concentration of tap abilities on your artifacts
A few suggested cuts and reasons for them: Glassdust Hult - There are better artifact creatures for 5 mana. It's ability is not worth it. Courier's Capsule - Simply put, there are better ways to draw cards. Dispeller's Capsule - There are better Disenchant effects available. Disenchant for example.

A kid at my local gameshop wanted to break a twenty.
"You got 2 tens?" he asked me.
"No, but I probably got 3 fives." I replied.
"Perfect!"

- for including some really bad artifact creatures.
If the intent is to play to a theme I believe Memnarch and Darksteel Forge are cards you could consider. Also Mycosynth Lattice.
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Tezzeret the Seeker also seem good here.
Finally, Treasure Mage.

Added a Wishboard to the OP.
Second Sunrise or Faith's Reward combo well with several of your other cards.
Sanctum Gargoyle is an Artifact Creature that could replace or be played in addition to Razor Hippogriff.
You'll probably want a few more answer's to Null Rod or Stony Silence.
Cranial Plating seems like it would be a blast in here.
And if you're running Second Sunrise, Faith's Reward, and Cranial Plating (and a big dude or 2), Disciple of Bolas is Aces.
Treasure Mage is just plain awesome.

Those are some of my random thoughts. If you detail what direction you'd like to take the list, we might have more feedback.
Good luck.

I'll certainly consider all of your suggestions. Does anyone have any cuts they would suggest?
spellbombs.
As mzum said, cranial plating can be a beast in this deck
scourglass is also a very efficient sweeper for this deck
BSmallpoxB
Edh
Scourglass is, er, already in here.
Which version of Tezzeret would be a better fit, by the by? I'm leaning towards Seeker personally; he seems to offer the most utility.
EDIT: Razor Hippogriff is now Sanctum Gargoyle. I now want to find some excuse to run both. Cutting Hippogriffs HURTS.

Also, I see no Sun Titan, nor do I see Protomatter Powder. Include both, I shouldn't have to explain why =P

You seem to also lack Basalt Monolith and Rings for Brighthearth. Are you trying to avoid infinite mana combos?
I would have thought Triskelion would be an auto-include with your general's second ability.
How about Sculpting Steel and Phyrexia's Core to go with Spine of Ish Sah. Heck, Sculpting Steel goes well with a lot in your deck
