This deck is fun but it needs some help. I can't decide if it should remain based on artifact shenanigans or change it to a control deck. I really like artifacts and love untapping them and pulling them out of the graveyard. A couple times I've been able to play tinker to search for darksteel colossus on turn 4 and win quick.

I'd love some feedback. Should I switch my commander to Sphinx Summoner? Should I change it to an Esper control deck? Which do you think would be a stronger deck? I have other token decks that win with basic creature combat so I would love to play a more control type deck. There are some infinite combo decks but I'm not stuck on keeping them. I just want a fun deck that is strong and it would be great if it controls the game.
