Silver Bolt, Silent Dart, Springjaw Trap, and Scalding Cauldron are all 1mana artifacts that deal 3damage. Bolt and Cauldron have the lowest total mana requirements.

Hypothesizzle could also work, doubling as some card draw for later game.

Sonic Assault can also tap it down to allow a more aggressive turn if that final chip damage is what you need.

There Are Rats in the Cellar {G}{B}

Sorcery

Target opponent creates two black 1/1 rat creature tokens. Then, choose one:

Extermination Quest - Venture into the dungeon. Up to two creatures you control fight up to two creatures you do not control. Create a treasure token.

Set Traps - Create a food token, then search your library for cards named Springjaw Trap, Explosive Apparatus, and/or Trip Noose, put them onto the battlefield, and shuffle.

Frequent trope in D&D... I may have gone overboard with the text to try to make it too accurate. But the payoff might be big enough to be playable... the second mode makes it useful for golgari artifact synergy decks, and the first mode is great for removal, ramp, and venture. The real downside about the second mode is, of course, including those cards in your deck.
