Early in the game you can control your oponent with Mana Leak, Negate and Duress while you proliferate Everflowing Chalice with Contagion Clasp. You can tutor the chalice with Trinket Mage. Also, there are plenty of things the proliferation ability can work with, like Tumble Magnet , Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Tezzeret the Seeker , Titan Forge, -1/-1 counters from the clasp, Black Sun's Zenith and Contagion Engine or poison counters from Inkmoth Nexus or Blightsteel Colossus. Using dark Tezzeret's last ability while you have many artifacts on the battlefield can have a devastating effect. If some of your artifacts would be destroyed, there is a chance that Academy Ruins can help get them back. I always save Fuel for the Cause for the end-game (dangerous situations, you know) because it's more expensive to cast, but also let's you proliferate. Also, you don't actually have to care much for your lesser creatures because you are only waiting for that big chunk of indestructible infected metal to land with the help of the chalices (and also because you don't have that many haha).
