I know a lot of you apparently don't like variety in your creatures (as in I see most decks having 5 different creatures 4 times) and that's fine (and probably more effective), but I really like the mystery of what is going to come up next. Also, I've won all but one match with this deck and it's extremely fun to play.
I know there are probably cards that would compliment the deck better but everything I added was dirt cheap (the deck as it is now was around $13)
Without messing with your desire to have variety over consistency (I like consistency...and just play 30-50 casual decks, plus 5-10 EDH decks so I can get in variety as well), or your budget build, some minor suggestions.
Terror should come out for Doom Blade most likely, since unless you run into a lot of regeneration is just strictly better.
Thoughtcast is great affinity card-draw. Myr Servitor (you'd want at least 3) would be a good recurring small artifact...and no affinity deck is complete without Ornithopter...you could also toss in Mishra's Bauble with the Disciple for more hilarity. Free artifacts that make more artifacts free are awesome.
I'd pull the Tooth and Scale of Chiss-Goria for sure, and probably the Wall of Spears for sure as well. There's other stuff that could be streamlined, but again, your style of deckbuilding vs. mine.

Doomblade would definitely be better, but I had a couple of Terrors laying around so I used them. I'll probably buy a couple of Doomblades when I order something else.
Is ornithopter really good for anything besides being a free blocker? I just can't think of much I would want to replace for it.
Tooth and Scale basically stayed because they're cheap to play, they do help a little, and they obviously help my other stuff get out there.

Thanks for your input!
Ornithopter is a 0-cost artifact AND a creature with evasion that can block flyers.. An affinity deck without them is a stretch.
A big part of 'Affinity' success is artifact lands (and other or :1mana:-cost artifacts) & affinity dudes. Prioritize towards those, treat everything else as secondary, and you should be in good shape.
I've been having some good success in my affinity builds with Salvage titan, he has the drawback that he can be 4 for oned but he also has the ability to drop in an affinity deck on turn 1. Combine him with a Desciple of the vaults and you can spit 3 damage when he comes itno play and his recursion ability let's him keep coming out. Combine him with the servitors and you can keep him coming back and dealing damage a lot.

Disciple of the Vault obviously works ridiculously well with Arcbound Ravager, but also all the spellbombs (ie. Aether Spellbomb) and wouldn't be a bad addition either.

It would be nice, I just can't really think of anything I'd want to get rid of for them.
The more I think about it though, a ornithopter or two in my opening hand could make for a really quick game in my favor..
What do you think should be taken out? I was thinking maybe the steel wall, the bottle gnomes, and the silver myr.
Thoughts?
merged.

Still having problems finding things to cut?

Check out my SELLING LIST of great pricing!
I've also ordered a few cranial platings that should make this deck even more of a pain to beat.
I was just going to let you guys know that I appreciate your opinions and if you have anymore, I'd be happy to hear them!
Master of Etherium is a very good artifact creature that goes great in affinity.
