Since the deck has many artifacts with ETB/die effects, its pretty essential to actually draw a Goblin Welder in order to start taking advantage of all the artifacts. Goblin Welder has difficulty staying alive + it became much more affordable since its Commander 2014 reprint, so I would play the full set of 4x Goblin Welder.
I like having Faithless Looting to help get the first few artifacts into the bin for Goblin Welder. Although Faithless Looting might not really necessary, it's nice since it can be used to discard extra combo pieces/lands + might potentially give the deck a faster start. Ie. Turn 1: Goblin Welder, turn 2: Faithless Looting.
If you want to add a bit of variation to your welder targets you could try:
First and only game, the myco wellsprings did get me many lands which helped me power out doom engines. I also considered Urzishra Baubles but already did that w a Storm deck before so wanted to try wellsprings out.
Abusing Lotus Petals feels great but sure I really needed them. will continue testing. Faithless Looting quite possible!
Definitely looking at 4 Welders seems like a must.
Oh jeez Wire/Stack didn't even consider..that might be a bit meaner than I'm after w this (atm anyway)but thankyou for reminder!
Last night I resolved a Scrap Mastery, an opponent sacs a Memory Jar in response, I draw into 2x Galvanic Blast play them both hit a Emperor (was @ 19 life) for 8. EOT I get my hand (one card) back. Oh yeah, it's a Shrapnel Blast on that brand new Doom Engine. 11 killing the Emperor.
Sorry, when i saw your list i thought you were intentionally keeping it legacy legal memory jar is great, but of course it is banned in legacy. If youre building with vintage restricted in mind, then lotus petal is restriced but you have the options of mana vault and sol ring.
Right...our casual group is basically anything-goes. My opponent, our host, played the Memory Jar he runs it alongside Waste Not. He was pretty steamed.
Aaaaand then last night I stuck a T1 Faithless Looting (@CrispyLinks: great idea!), T2 Goblin Welder and proceeded to kill him T4 via Welder/Engine combat + activations. Think I might replace those last two Slag Fiends for Welders? Wow.
I'd look at the legacy MUD and vintage workshop threads. In an artifact setup you have much better options for ramp than lotus petal. I don't know what your budget is, but in no particular order I'd check out some of these cards:
I have a deck using him and Dack Fayden. Works out really well and a lot of fun to play. Blue would be a good color to splash to get better draw like Thirst for Knowledge and open you up for Seat of the Synod. A couple Flings in this deck will help you do some extra damage with your Doom Engine and Fiend. You can always add in a 1 or 2 of Wurmcoil Engine. My last suggestion, at least for now, might be to add in Krark-Clan Ironworks. Gives you mana and a good sac outlet. I combine this with Myr Sire.
