With the new Kaledesh set out, I think I found a good synergy with colorless artifact creatures. There are two main win conditions to this deck: Decimator of the Provinces with tokens + weak creatures and Zulaport Cutthroat + Scrapheap Scrounger when your stuff dies. There are also a lot of sacrifice synergy everywhere.

How to decide what to play: The key of this deck is not early game, but set up for the later bombs. If you ever have to decide between Zulaport Cutthroat or Scrapheap Scrounger, pick Zulaport because it will benefit in the long run. The same goes for Catacomb Sifter and Matter Reshaper, more ramp is better early, but late game with any sacrifice outlets, Matter Reshaper is better. Eldritch Evolution however is very versatile for this deck. If you need high damage or a flying blocker, Smothering Abomination. It really depends on the match up, but that's the general gist of it.

The goal of this deck is like LSV's G/B aristocrat deck but with Nantuko Husk and Collected Company rotated out of standard. To replace them, there's more token generation and less instant sacrifices, but scarier when Decimator of the Provinces comes out.

I think Catacomb Sifter is one of the best cards that's not insanely hyped up. It makes a blocker or a small ramp that lets you scry whenever anything you control dies. This combos well with anything that sacrifices creatures like Brood Butcher and Smothering Abomination.

Personal notes:This is the only deck I can think of that will Eldritch Evolution to get a lower costing creature, which is usually going to be Zulaport Cutthroat or Brood Butcher. I also think I found very good home for Nissa, Voice of Zendikar.
