Great deck! I made a similar one but included creatures with Metalcraft, which synergize with artifacts (Ghalma's Warden, Ardent Recruit, Bastion Inventor, Spire Serpent, Chrome Steed, Razorfield Rhino). What about Golem Foundry and Welding Jar?

I'm interested to know if you thought about any of them and why you didn't include them.

I also put Machinate, Into Thin Air, Ornithopter and Bronze Walrus which go nicely in this deck archetype.

3> Ahhh I've been wanting to play with Obosh, the Preypiercer and Angrath's Marauders - glad you found a spot for them. While you're at it, you could also consider other "damage doublers" such as Wound Reflection and Fiendish Duo. I've thought about a Vial-Smasher deck with a White partner just to add Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

3> I see you enjoy big monsters and X-spells here. Oh to be young again... but seriously, this seems like a good deck to play them in as you would be rewarded. Instants are your friend, as you can Smash Vials on everyone's turn! No Comet Storm?

3> I would be worried about Vial-Smasher getting nuked from orbit as soon as your turn passes and it's no longer indestructible. You'll find Heroic Intervention and Slippery Bogbonder will help with targeted Exile removal. You already have Destroy and Sacrifice covered I see.

3> I see some cost-reduced and commander-free spells in there, but you have a limited suite. While doing research for my thoughts on Vial-Smasher, I found the following might be helpful - list is just copy/paste, so it will include some White and/or Blue cards:

This seems impressively risky. Do you have a contingency for if the Knowledge Pool'd cards end up being trash (aside from up to two more casts, of course)?

Perhaps consider Steel Sabotage or Into Thin Air or similar to safeguard against a bad Imprint? Of course, there is the risk of these being pulled by Knowledge Pool, but the worst case is that you get your Pool back in hand.

Retract is perfect (the wording prevents an opponent affecting you with it through Knowledge Pool), but is very expensive versus the rest of this deck.

goldlion it isn't convoke so it actually doesn't help cast any of the nonartifact spells that have only colored in their costs and the card doesn't work with pacts.

So it helps cast chancellor, Sram, Sai, Sly Requisitioner , Somber Hoverguard , Dismember , Into Thin Air , Mindbreak Trap , Not of This World , Sickening Shoal , Summoning Trap , Battle at the Bridge , Grapeshot and Thoughtcast

But most of these cards already have alternate costs.
