Hey, great concept. Consider taking more advantage of Karn if you're building around him?
Consider more artifacts and Sai, Master Thopterist? Artifacts to consider are: Traveler's Amulet, Thaumatic Compass Flip, Fountain of Renewal, Sorcerous Spyglass, Sentinel Totem and Orazca Relic. More artifacts are not just good with Karn's constructs, but also Zahid and Tezzeret since you want three artifacts in play when you play Tezzeret to -0 to draw two cards. Totem is good right now in Standard because Golgari is focused on abusing the graveyard. The graveyard is essentially another hand for your Golgari opponent. Totem can stop this nonsense.
Consider this artifact base with Sai/Karn/Tezzeret/Zahid:
Artifacts
Chamber Sentry who is a construct also has a lot of potential with Chromatic Lantern with a strategy around Karn.
Good luck with your deck.
