I've been thinking of building a B/U control deck for multiplayer games centered around Spreading Plague to control the board state and go for artifacts / artifact creatures, being immune to the Plague.
This is a very rough and quick outline of what I was thinking about, with tons of room for improvements.
4x Tinker is another thing most groups won't be ok with. 1x Tinker is too much even. But if you're allowed to play 4, why not include something that'll basically auto-win on turns 2-3, like Blightsteel Colossus? Or something that's just a huge pain to deal with like Nullstone Gargoyle?
Have you considered Eldrazi instead of artifact creatures? Instead of clunky creatures like Phyrexian Colossus which require you to jump through hoops just for them to be effective, you can play U/B Devoid Eldrazi. They're immune to the Plague but give you a much better bang for your buck. Sire of Stagnation, Oblivion Sower, Fathom Feeder, Drowner of Hope, even something like Blight Herder will do you good. But if you want to stick with big artifact creatures, switch to something like Myr Battlesphere that has nothing but upsides.

Would love to hear you thoughts and ideas!
1x Karn, Silver Golem
3x Phyrexian Colossus
2x Shield Sphere
Instants:
4x Undermine
2x Capsize
4x Whispers of the Muse
1x Tinker
2x Argivian Restoration
Enchantments:
4x Spreading Plague
4x Propaganda
Artifacts:
1x Sol Ring
4x Worn Powerstone
4x Voltaic Key
2x Thran Dynamo
2x Crystal Vein
2x Stalking Stones
4x Underground River
8x Island
6x Swamp
That said, looks pretty good.
I do wonder whether you'll survive the first few rounds when your opponents recognize the deck.
My meta: 3 or 4 player free for all, anything goes but boring games or broken decks cause a vote to end that game.
