Hey guys! I finally found the deck I want to try seriously. I love artifacts and after getting some cool cards at the pre-release yesterday I got some ideas running through my casual mind
Working like a charm so far! There's some nice combos with this deck, mainly with the Scuttling Doom Engine + Shrapnel Blast and/or Generator Savant and on next turn Ornithopter + Ensoul Artifact + anything that could boost the copter like the Ghostfire Blade. But I must say having an Ensouled 5/5 Indestructible Darksteel Citadel is pretty neat.
I know this deck is nothing new but I really like the synergy. It might need some more work but on the casual/friendly scene it work wonders!
I don't like Illusory Angel or Hewed Stone Retainers as they are awkward and don't hit nearly as often as you want them too unless you hold back on needed aggro in an Ensoul Artifact + Ghostfire Blade shell. You need to wait until turn 4 to cast it (usually), and by then there is a good chance you want to be resolving something else or would rather have some other source of burn/answer in your hand.
Overall, the sideboard is useless and needs a lot of work. As I see U/R Robots, the main deck should aim to synergize ramping into Scuttling Doom Engine + Shrapnel Blast and applying pressure with Ensoul Artifact + Ornithopter/Darksteel Citadel, desperate in an attempt to win as early as possible. The sideboard you have now just offers weaker alternatives to the same strategy and I can't think of a match-up where I'd be helped by the inclusion of a almost unplayable 3 drop that comes out as a 4/4 without evasion.
Here's the deck:

At first I built the deck with Black but found out that Red was better suited for this.
The mana curve look fine with lots of 2-mana cost spells.
What do you guys think?
I have to say I played against a mono white deck with lots of Warriors and other creatures that boost Warriors and Prowess and stuff like that.
I'll have to work a lot more on this deck...

Lightning Strike is a 4-of in the 75, in my opinion, unless you enjoy being dominated by Goblin Rabblemaster. Daring Thief has seen play in this sort of deck as well at the 3-slot. Bident of Thassa fits well with Renowned Weaponsmith as does Hall of Triumph. Possibly even Hammer of Purphoros

I would stress a more reactive shell in the board. Perhaps more control or more enablers. Disdainful Stroke, Negate, Ætherspouts, Icy Blast, Magma Spray, Wild Slash, Roast, Silumgar Sorcerer.. even Encrust, Singing Bell Strike or Encase in Ice. Answers to things the main board cannot deal with unless you have access to a Shrapnel Blast, of which you have only 4.
