So, I decided to build an artifact variant of this deck. I don't expect it to be too powerful, but having a lot of reach + recursion + ability to loop Combustible Gearhulk can't be THAT bad of an idea...
I have it currently labeled as a casual build (by my standards anyway) but I'll tell ya how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, in trying to build it and goldfish I realized that Arcbound Ravager and Steel Overseer are INSANELY good payoffs for being in artifacts, the former is almost like a 2 mana Mikaeus, the Unhallowed that comes with its own sac outlet. If I added in Time Sieve, I can imagine going infinite with it pretty easily..
The main disadvantage is that a lot of the artifact payoffs have a higher CMC, so for competitive purposes the only real upside is in having easier recursion and slightly crazier enablers.
