Neat deck. Seems like a Daretti, Scrap Savant/Goblin Welder package would fit will without costing too many cards. I love Kuldotha Forgemaster in these style decks, I might also run a card like Spine of Ish Sah or Brittle Effigy over Lux Cannon, the cannon seems a bit slow and unreliable without running a tom of charge enablers. O-Stone seems like a must to me too. Metalworker and Krark-Clan Ironworks are great mana sources you are missing too. Beseech the Mirror is another I thought of but may be too mana intensive with 3 black pips. Good luck with the build!

You'll probably want closer to 38 lands, so that should get you pretty close to 100 cards by itself. Past that, Introduction to Annihilation, Transmogrifying Wand, Bonder's Ornament, Introduction to Prophecy, Investigator's Journal, Mind Stone, Brittle Effigy, and Ebony Fly are all great options as well. Good luck!

Some cards which I think should be cut because I think they are not too great or have fallen out of love with them are: Inkwell Leviathan, Jhoira's Toolbox, Myr Battlesphere, Myr Enforcer, Scarecrone, Willbender, Brittle Effigy, Darksteel Ingot, Dreamstone Hedron, Lux Cannon (unless you have a way of getting counters more quickly), Staff of Nin, Tower of Fortunes, Trading Post, Dismiss, Dissipate, and Dream Fracture.

lifemtg:

Brittle Effigy : It's too narrow, non-repeatable and that 4 mana cost just to activate is way too much for a one time effect.

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger / Zendikar Resurgent : Both are too slow and unimpactful, if I have the mana for them I usually have mana to actually close the game out.

Brittle Effigy is good turn one for spot removal later on. I am wondering would Vorinclex do something in here? Zendikar Resurgent is also great.

Brittle Effigy or Voyager Staff are fetchable choises against indestructible. Cool deck dude!

That seems like a really good compromise, my friend! Janky combos ususally don't hurt people's feelings, and the combo pieces synergize just fine with the rest of your deck even if the engine isn't assembled.

Now that you've narrowed in on tokens/aristocrats with potential combo, it's easy to select haymakers for that deck. For starters, Chief Engineer is one of my favorite cards of all time. Blinkmoth Urn, too. Welding Jar to save your best piece in the event of a Shatterstorm. Go Brittle Effigy instead of Oblivion Stone, and then use Nevinyrral's Disk as a mass removal.

And then I think you need more token production -- Pia and Kiran Nalaar, Whirler Rogue, Thopter Spy Network, Hangarback Walker, Thopter Foundry, Thopter Assembly, stuff with Improvise and Affinity abilities, the new Saheeli Rai (and the old one I guess!). Hope this helps(: I'd cut down on the flicker synergies since artifact sacrifice + recursion + cost reduction lets you use similar effects, but all your pieces get to be artifacts. But that's just my advice to save some room in this list.

Raff is SO GOOD in this deck, like a 50 cent Vedalken Orrery. Play him. Always (:
