A R/U/G Liquimetal Coating deck.

The idea of the deck is simple - resolve a Liquimetal Coating as fast as possible and use it to "Vindicate" the opponent's permanents one by one.

The most efficient artifact removal spells seem to be: Ancient Grudge, Oxidize , Smelt and Smash to Smithereens (for some damage).
Another option can be Tel-Jilad Justice for the added "Scry 2" or Destructive Revelry as another way to deal damage but I'm not sure it is worth the 2 mana.
The cards that destroy more than one artifact (Shattering Spree, Vandalblast and Shatterstorm / Creeping Corrosion ) seem unnecessary with Liquimetal Coating since it only works on one permanent at a time.

Ancient Stirrings is the best way to dig for Liquimetal Coating and at the worst case find a land.

Muddle the Mixture - tutors for Liquimetal Coating and can also be reused by Snapcaster Mage to counter instants/sorceries.
Can also find: Snapcaster Mage, Tin Street Hooligan or Ancient Grudge/Smash to Smithereens.

The creatures in the deck:
Delver of Secrets   - for early pressure and closing the game while disrupting the opponent with permanent destruction, works well in a instant/sorcery heavy deck.
Snapcaster Mage - to double up on all the "Vindicate"s, Ancient Stirrings and L.Bolts.
Tin Street Hooligan (and Vithian Renegades ) seems like the most reasonably costed creature that destroys an artifact upon EtB.
Another option might be Trygon Predator but it needs to connect and survive to do anything (though as a 2/3 flyer it is usually a better creature).
