General gist, Etherium Sculptor helps to speed up the process of putting out mana myr's which then lead into more debilitating effects if I am not able to immediately put them out the following turn due to a starting hand of two. This additionally helps with artifact affinity for Frogmite, Myr Enforcer, and Thoughtcast. Although Thorn of Amethyst does in fact increase the cost to cast Storage Matrix, they are already relatively low costing. Thoughtcast, even though lodestone golem and amethyst increases the casting cost, they also reduce the cost at the same time as they are artifacts. Combine this with the fact that I am using artifact lands as well as other artifacts that do not increase the casting cost, I see it as a viable thing to include. Naturally, Phyrexian Metamorph can be whatever I need most at the time, although it would preferably be an additional Golem or Amethyst.
Things I have considered: Since Great Furnace is in there for more mana when untapping via Storage Matrix (since nonartifact lands won't be untapping), I have thought about including Mizzium Transreliquat. However, I have decided not to as Amethyst would increase the casting cost, and would require the deck to be more focused on 3 colors rather than 2 (would likely add Iron Myr if I did decide to).
Another consideration is Sculpting Steel, but once again, decided against it. Phyrexian Metamorph is just about the only cloner that can get away without having an increased casting cost. Tinker has also come to mind, to maybe go into a darksteel colossus (yes, there is Mr. Oneshot the robot, but I hate infect with a passion), however I feel that when I draw into a darksteel colossus, it may end up as a dead draw at times.
Thoughts for potential improvements are greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't say I'm extremely serious by any means. Out of the cards you listed, the most likely I would probably use would be Tangle Wire, maybe chalice of the void since I happen to have a spare one about. Ancient Tomb and Metalworker would probably be overkill for my playgroup.
