You can link cards by enclosing the card name in double brackets.
The constructs made with Simulacrum Synthesizer do dynamically change power based on the number of artifacts you control. The tokens have a static ability that gives them a buff, the static ability is constantly monitoring the board state. Stuff that is ∗/∗ has a characteristic defining ability that operates slightly differently with other effects. If it made a creature that was a "snapshot" of the artifacts you had when it was created it would be worded more like "Whenever another artifact with mana value 3 or greater enters the battlefield under your control, create a X/X colourless Construct artifact creature token where X is the number of artifacts you control."
The difference between the way Simulacrum Synthesizer is worded and giving the tokens a CDA can be seen in their interaction with things that set P/T. With 4 artifacts out Ensoul Artifact on the current tokens make them a 9/9 (base 5/5 with +4/+4). With a CDA the tokens would be 5/5s.
Taida on Affinity and what to cut

Maybe you can try Experimental Synthesizer. Gives you some draw until end of turn, and you can sac it with whatever, and the effect triggers again. I also like Etched Champion quite a lot, as it is quite difficult to remove and is both amazing blocking and attacking. A substitute to Cranial Plating could be Nettlecyst, or you can even run both. Something like Skilled Animator, Kenku Artificer or Ensoul Artifact can also be very fun, especially if used on an Ornithopter or any indestructible land such as Silverbluff Bridge or Darksteel Citadel. Another affinity card I have a sweetspot for is Broodstar, but it needs colored mana, so it is not as easy to cast as a Myr Enforcer.

I think the amount of artifacts in here could be an advantage for some affinity spells like Thought Monitor or Myr Enforcer, alternatively you could do something Ensoul Artifact or Tezzeret's Touch. Something akin with ramp would be good too due to the land usage, or a landfall creature would have good use here, I think Lotus Cobra might help you out. Explore, Rampant Growth, Growth Spiral, and Manamorphose could help you with early game mana usage/land playing.

Thanks for your suggestions! Here are my thoughts:
As for the Clock of Omens combo, it is my opinion that it's rather difficult to assemble for the following reasons:
- Finding four cards for a combo is a lot, besides having to set them up.
- Two artifacts, a creature, and a card in hand are required. That means a single removal or discard spell can disrupt the combo.
- clock is basically a dead card without the combo.
I agree with your opinion on Memnite. I chose to add it because it can add to the artifact count and crew Smuggler's Copter, which is sometimes necessary to get asmor running. It can also be a target for Ensoul Artifact. Fae of Wishes can also crew copter, is a discard option, and can grab the combo or another sideboard option. Honestly I think the only downsides are that it's not an artifact and it costs a lot to do stuff with it. Unearth seems like a really good option as long as it has targets, but if I remove all creatures except for asmor it won't be any good. Any suggestions for replacement creatures?

Ensoul Artifact can get away with wins just as much as any other deck. I feel the term "Pioneer Viable" is very loose at the moment, remember Izzet Creativity was Tier D to Off-Meta before it won.
Have fun and good luck building your brew for Rakdos. It's refreshing to see a deck with that doesn't look the same as the rest.

I still use Ensoul Artifact in a mono blue Artifacts Pioneer deck, which does quite well.
Usually makes the top 4.
It is an original brew, though, so it doesn't stick to as many rules.

A mana rock that has seen competitive play and i still use would be Springleaf Drum... however it is very fringe if not obsoleted in artifact aggro decks.
I still personally still cling onto the old way to play artifact aggro using Springleaf Drum and Ensoul Artifact but both cards have fallen out of favor for the strategy for being competitive... but thats just something I know/accept when I play my deck at FNM.... still gets wins but is nothing like it used to be.
