I kind of like the Phyrexian deck idea, but it needs some serious control to live long enough to get Rage Extractor out - Whipflare, Galvanic Blast, and Vault Skirge might help you out, and Cranial Plating would be a decent plan B. Amulet of Vigor might fix your slow land situation - and Springleaf Drum isn't bad either.

Too high-end CMC-wise, but a cool idea. Slow things down with Ensnaring Bridge so you can live long enough to play that stuff.

Ensnaring Bridge could be pretty good but it affects my creatures as well as my opponents. Norn's Annex already helps with this and I can pay the phyrexian mana to get it out early on.

How do you win if you don't get your Rage Extractor out? Your deck is full of slow, unremarkable creatures otherwise, and I wonder how you win against decks that are quick to kill, like affinity, burn, zoo.

Weird thought, but here goes; what about a Tron-based rage extractor deck? Your current build's main problem seems to be slow wind-up, so what if you ran the Urza lands, once upon a time (can pull a metamorph with it too), expedition map, chromatic star and sphere, sylvan scrying as the base? Obviously add rage extractor and metamorph, an artifact tutor of some sort, 4-8 Dual lands (all of them with green) and tweak it till it works.

Interesting concept...I do have several concerns regarding the general functioning of the deck. 1. You only have 2 lands that come in to play untapped...I know you technically cheat on mana with the phyrexian mana, but that seems like it would be painful very quick.

  1. Does only having 20 lands let you cast your spells at a reasonable pace?

  2. Are you aware that Spellskite doesn't trigger Rage Extractor.

  3. What are your goals for the deck as far as being consistent and fast?

Cards that I think can help.

  1. Arcum's Astrolabe This will help you not only fix your mana, but it will enable you to run more basic lands which will come in untapped and speed the deck up considerably. A side plus is the obvious card draw.

  2. Talismans or signets: Talisman of Indulgence or Rakdos Signet for example, can speed up your deck and also help fix your mana issues you may have. Not only that, but they work well with Mishra, Artificer Prodigy to speed up the deck, thin your deck, and help you avoid paying life for these spells.

  3. Vedalken Engineer This cheap guy is an all-star when it comes to ramping up artifact decks. Could pay for a lot of different things if you try some of the signets/talismans.

  4. Semblance Anvil This is one I'm not completely sure will help but imprinting an artifact creature could make things interesting, I suppose.

  5. Noxious Revival Fits the theme of the deck and gives you some play against hate cards.

Just some ideas for thought. Hope it helps.
