Rage Extractor
Artifact
( can be paid with either or 2 life.)
Whenever you cast a spell with phyrexian mana in its mana cost, Rage Extractor deals damage equal to that spell's converted mana cost to target creature or player.

Thanks for the suggestions kamarupa!
Solemnity would be a really cool and although I’m not sure how it would prevent me from spending my life, it would prevent me from using my Font of Agonies and from putting counters on my Spawn of Mayhem.
I do really like Spoils of the Vault but I feel like there’s a very high chance that I would just end up killing myself with it way too often. I could give it a try though.
I agree that Dismember is a better removal spell than Rage Extractor, I just really like rage extractor.
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the help :D

Solemnity pairs nicely with Phyrexian Unlife but I think might prevent spending life as mana.
Spoils of the Vault can bring a life total down fast.
I'd suggest mainboarding Dismember as Rage Extractor is too high MV to count on for removal.

AT23 unfortunatley I don't have much money anymore after buying the cards, but maybe in the future I'll give MTGO a try :P
zAzen7977 Thanks for the suggestions, I really like them! Unfortunately I am on a bit of a budget, but I will still try out the suggestions you gave me on here. I do have some creature removal in the form of dealing straight damage to creature's using Rage Extractor and Font of Agonies, but perhaps I need something more direct like you suggested.

Interesting concept...I do have several concerns regarding the general functioning of the deck. 1. You only have 2 lands that come in to play untapped...I know you technically cheat on mana with the phyrexian mana, but that seems like it would be painful very quick.
-
Does only having 20 lands let you cast your spells at a reasonable pace?
-
Are you aware that Spellskite doesn't trigger Rage Extractor.
-
What are your goals for the deck as far as being consistent and fast?
Cards that I think can help.
-
Arcum's Astrolabe This will help you not only fix your mana, but it will enable you to run more basic lands which will come in untapped and speed the deck up considerably. A side plus is the obvious card draw.
-
Talismans or signets: Talisman of Indulgence or Rakdos Signet for example, can speed up your deck and also help fix your mana issues you may have. Not only that, but they work well with Mishra, Artificer Prodigy to speed up the deck, thin your deck, and help you avoid paying life for these spells.
-
Vedalken Engineer This cheap guy is an all-star when it comes to ramping up artifact decks. Could pay for a lot of different things if you try some of the signets/talismans.
-
Semblance Anvil This is one I'm not completely sure will help but imprinting an artifact creature could make things interesting, I suppose.
-
Noxious Revival Fits the theme of the deck and gives you some play against hate cards.
Just some ideas for thought. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the feedback, Glad you could catch me on my mistake. The card has been replaced with Rage Extractor for its mana cost.

When I played around with a deck like this, I used Tezzeret's Gambit and definitely 4x Rage Extractor. Phyrexian Metamorph can copy the extractors to amplify damage to hilarious amounts. Pristine Talisman can take the edge off greatly while helping ramp.

In that case, you must consider Treasure Cruise extremely over costed!
Sarcasm aside, I would love to be able to play a Rage Extractor-style deck in commander, but there's currently no commander for that. Just because one person cares nothing for a specific thing, it doesn't mean that some/many would enjoy it.
