Shimmer Dragon and Broodstar could prove to be good beaters for you. Also adds some more flying options.

Renowned Weaponsmith, Vedalken Engineer, Foundry Inspector, and Etherium Sculptor are some artifact specific ramp if that's something you're interested in.

Sai, Master Thopterist, Sage of Lat-NamGrinding Station, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Krark-Clan Ironworks, and Trading Post are sac outlets for artifacts that could prove useful.

Hopefully that helps ya out some and fills in for the skipper, I'll drop a +1 for ya too.

I like the idea, but I feel like you don't have enough sacrifice outlets to benefit as effectively from Font of Mythos and Coveted Jewel. I'd recommend cards like Arcbound Ravager, Metalwork Colossus, Sage of Lat-Nam, and Sai, Master Thopterist to get some instant speed sacrifice mechanics so that you can remove those when you want to before an opponent would benefit from. I also think the more expensive cards here are a bit overkill compared to the rest of the deck, it could be a lot more budget friendly if you pulled Force of Will, Chrome Mox, manacrypt, Ancient Tomb, and Metalworker. That would drop the overall cost by about 300 and wouldn't sacrifice much for efficiency. Caged Sun and Gauntlet of Power (which is expensive, but not more than extraplanar lens) as well as Gilded Lotus, Nyx Lotus, and Blinkmoth Urn can make up for the loss of the mana generation by removing those more expensive cards. I'd also recommend some board wipe cards like Oblivion Stone and Nevinyrral's Disk to accomodate when the board state is getting hectic.

Maybe a little less agressive and more value artifacts? with Ramp like Powerstone Shard and maybe even Manifold Key . Something like Jhoira's Familiar or Artificer's Assistant . Then a funny payoff like Mishra's Self-Replicator or Retributive Wand (with all the untaping). Sage of Lat-Nam for carddraw (and killing your own wand).

Does anyone have a Good artifact build right now? It seems like any artifact Build right now should be playing blue but is their enough reason to play red or black along side blue? also is it worth playing Sage of Lat-Nam ? There seem to be a lot of good card for this kind of build, so it would be a shame for no one to play it.

Thanks for the suggestions Feyamius and I am glad I could bring Sage of Lat-Nam to your attention

Acquire Board break down:

Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage is considered for replacement commander

Aethersquall Ancient, Decoction Module, and Era of Innovation, are largely for Gonti's Aether Heart. Era of Innovation is the weakest and would not be included on its own.

Foundry Inspector and Jhoira's Familiar are cost reducers, They may just be excess

Arcane Encyclopedia, Howling Golem, Padeem, Consul of Innovation, Paradoxical Outcome, Reverse Engineer, Sage of Lat-Nam, Sai, Master Thopterist and Game Plan are added draw power

Metalwork Colossus, Cogwork Assembler, Gonti's Aether Heart, Mechanized Production, Timestream Navigator, Magistrate's Scepter, Karn's Temporal Sundering, Nexus of Fate are to make winning more consistant

Whir of Invention, Thran Temporal Gateway, Planar Bridge, Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Inventors' Fair are for getting things out in fun ways

Efficient Construction, Baird, Steward of Argive keep from being killed by flyers and hordes

Inspiring Statuary is fun but does not do enough to justify the slot

Thanks for the suggestions mah38900! These are all very good suggestions. I currently have this decklist on the back burner, my attention has been needed by my Zirilan EDH deck. However, I do really like Su-Chi and Sage of Lat-Nam!

If I end up keeping Nim Deathmantle, I would prefer Myr Battlesphere over Tetravus. However, Tetravus does have some upsides being a flyer.

I will certainly add your suggestions to the maybeboard. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
