Just a couple of suggestions. Enthusiastic Mechanaut may not hit as hard as Foundry Inspector when it attacks, but it costs less to cast, allowing you to get it into play sooner, and has Flying. Also, Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain has the same converted mana cost as Vedalken Archmage, but has more options to trigger her card draw ability. Not to mention being a 3/3 as opposed to a 0/2. Just some food for thought.

Good question lol.

I did forget about Top, but I’m not someone that ever really plays top, but it could be a good addition.

Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge - I’m not running a heavy amount of creatures and planeswalkers, so giving them affinity seems like it’s a bit so so, because there’s a lot of ramp anyway, the expensive cards are also some of the non-creature artifacts. His abilities are good but he is quite a lot of mana.

Jhoira's Familiar is 4 mana, Etherium Sculptor, Enthusiastic Mechanaut and Cloud Key are cheaper.

In one of the first drafts I was running Contraband Kingpin which is similar to artificers assistant but I cut it because i often found id rather cast other things in hand in the play tests.

Mystic Forge always struck me as a combo card but could be useful I suppose.

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain is similar to the answer I gave for the Koi, Skyswimmer Koi draws off etb not cast so draws from Mishra’s tokens entering. The other 2 don’t really fit the deck I don’t think?

What would you cut for any of the suggestions?

Edits: Out- Foundry Inspector In- Enthusiastic Mechanaut

(3 mana tends to be higher in the curve than I want this effect to be (Cloud Key withstanding), Enthusiastic Mechanaut just fits my optimal curve better)

Out- Mirran Spy , Nettle Drone , Retraction Helix , Banishing Knack In- 2x islands 2x mountains

(needed a slightly larger mana base, and these combos are nice but with summoning sickness, 2 turns takes too long to be efficient

Enthusiastic Mechanaut and Jhoira's Familiar for more reducing

Hey, nice version of Breya with Shorikai and Greasefang.

The artifact creatures who reduce the mana cost of artifacts especially Enthusiastic Mechanaut, but also Etherium Sculptor seem good here since they add more ramp and can crew. Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh is the new Tezz, it's excellent with Breya and has synergy with Vehicles.

Smuggler's Copter is among the best Vehicles. Smuggler's Buggy is a new Vehicle and hideaway is powerful. Master Transmuter can cheat Vehicles onto the battlefield including Buggy for more hideaway and is excellent with Mycosynth Lattice and Darksteel Forge. With Breya Transmuter can create more Thopters by bouncing and putting Breya right back onto the battlefield.

Spire of Industry and Path of Ancestry are two other budget rainbow lands. Fellwar Stone is another budget rainbow mana rock.

Good luck with your deck.
