This is a deck I've thrown together using black and some of my favorite artifacts in standard. The ultimate goal is to:

Use Deadeye Tracker in tandem with Animation Module to (for 3 mana) exile cards from opponent's graveyard (as a form of disruption) and to spawn tokens while I build up enough land to set myself up for the "end game." The inclusion of Lurking Chupacabra also acts as a disruption/removal play that triggers off exploration.

Ultimately, I want to play Queen's Agent and attach all my equipment to her. She can grow relatively quickly if able to attach Forebear's Blade, Helm of the Host, and Shield of the Realm. She effectively becomes a 7/4 with Lifelink, Vigilance, and Trample. With The Immortal Sun in play she could potentially become an 8/5, and as long as Helm of the Host is attached she swings with two copies of her.

At least that was what I was aiming for. I haven't playtested it out to see how slow/fast the deck will be, but any suggestions are welcomed.

Oh, one more item to address:

I included 2x Inventors' Fair in case I have a crappy draw/shuffle and need to dig for specific artifacts (like The Immortal Sun).
