Hello, everyone. I brought it upon myself to build a Muzzio artifacts deck. I went to random people and traded for a few parts, but here is what I have so far:
This deck is... rough. I want to make some serious cuts (namely to the "other", "big baddies", and "card advantage" piles) and add in a combo or two. Help is welcome.
The first combo for the deck would be simply adding in a Mycosynth Lattice as soon as you can. This combos with Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk to destroy all permanents you don't control repeatedly. This wins the game.
A card that I found often wins the game upon resolution is Possessed Portal. When you are activating Muzzio and no one else is able to generate cards, you'll eventually just win. I eventually cut it from my deck though as people really hated the card.
Memnarch is an amazing finisher for Muzzio, especially with all the ramp the deck has. Speaking of ramp, since your in mono color, Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun work wonderfully as ramp.
Now the absolute most important card I think you should get is Master Transmuter. This lets you cheat in the stuff that got into your hand instead of on top of the library, but can also protect your artifacts from removal! You can bounce an artifact to your hand and then return it to the battlefield to blank a removal spell like return to dust!
I would cut 1 island for Seat of the Synod. One more card to not wiff with Muzzio.
For cuts to the deck, I would argue that card draw and bombs are the last things you want to cut. Muzzio (and Master Transmuter) will let you cheat bombs in for free, so you absolutely want a high density of them in your deck. I would personally however drop one of your non-artifact bombs for Soul of New Phyrexia. The first thing you want to do is make sure every non-artifact card in the deck has an extremely good reason to be in the deck. This means, do you really think Stifle and sigiled starfish fit the deck? I definitely don't think stifle and would cut it for one of the cards above. I would switch out Turn to frog with Duplicant, since the second can be grabbed with Muzzio, and sigiled starfish with a Crystal Ball. You also always want card draw. Its never a bad thing to have.
I don't think Ensoul Artifact does enough to be honest, a 5/5 just isn't that big in EDH AND it makes the artifact susceptible to creature removal. March of the Machines though is quite good. With Mycosynth lattice, this kills all the lands, but with the amount of mana rocks Muzzio plays you'll be perfectly fine. I cut mine in favor of using mana doublers though, using Karn, Silver Golem to accomplish the whole land destruction thing instead.
Rite works really well. I used to run it in my deck, but cut it for Metalworker when that became legal. Rite can win the game, but Metalworker turn 3 into Blightsteel Colossus or an eldrazi turn 4 wins the game as well.
I also forgot two awesome artifacts in my earlier post: Phyrexian Metamorph and Sculpting Steel. Why have different artifacts when you can have more of the best ones?

If you regularly encounter Blue opponents, Thada Adel, Acquisitor lets you play their artifacts, as well. Another Legend to consider for your 99 is Arcum Dagsson - he provides a great use for Junk Diver and Myr Retriever, among others.

Maybe Blinkmoth Urn, Palladium Myr, or Voltaic Construct could be of use?

You will absolutely want Rings of Brighthearth. Pay 2 for more Muzzio activations!
Memnarch is an amazing finisher for Muzzio, especially with all the ramp the deck has. Speaking of ramp, since your in mono color, Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun work wonderfully as ramp.

I would cut 1 island for Seat of the Synod. One more card to not wiff with Muzzio.
Training Grounds lets you use Muzzio for 2 instead of 4.
For cuts to the deck, I would argue that card draw and bombs are the last things you want to cut.

I also recommend Tezzeret the Seeker.

...man, this is starting to get expensive...
I also want to test March of the Machines, Ensoul Artifact, and Rite of Replication (imagine kicking the replication targeting Blightsteel Colossus). I seriously hope this deck isn't overly hated by my meta.
