Myr Retriever
Artifact Creature — Myr
When Myr Retriever dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), return another target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

I love the old two Myr Retriever trick :). Heartless Summoning would be a good addition as an alternative to Krark-Clan Ironworks. With the two Myr Retrievers and one of your pingers out it's an instant win, and it's cheaper to get out than the ironworks (and cheaper to buy if you don't already have them).
TheForsakenOne on You Shall Not Pass

What I'd cut:
Pilgrim's Eye: Not a very good rate, and it doesn't even ramp
Eldrazi Displacer: You don't have enough colorless mana producers to make this consistent, and there are better flicker effects you have acess to
Eight-and-a-Half-Tails: Clunky protection when it isn't really needed
Avacyn, Angel of Hope: Sadly just a win-more card in this case. If it sticks around sure you're probably going to win but you'll be enemy #1 and you're likely not going to survive that
Sword of Feast and Famine: Probably the most overpriced of the swords, and the most likely to draw hate. It looks good on paper but without a way to capitalize on it you're going to bite off more than you can chew.
The Wanderer: Not worth the 4 mana. There are just better cards that could be run.
Ephemeral Shields is kind of a weird addition. Its just not very good.
2-3 Plains: 38 is just a bit high for a deck that peaks at 3 cmc cards. Maybe add more ramp instead
Suggestions to add
The MDFC's are just great to have due to their flexibility: https://scryfall.com/search?as=gridℴ=name&q=type%3Aland+commander%3AW+%28game%3Apaper%29+is%3Amdfc
You don't have that many ways to sacrifice artifacts despite having several triggers off of. The standards are Trading Post, Arcbound Ravager and for this deck Oswald Fiddlebender is great because it tutors out another artifact for free. Kuldotha Forgemaster is a must because it can turn some of your dud artifacts into a portal or blighsteel, and at instant speed too.
Metalwork Colossus is just fun, plus with all your expendable artifacts it can be quite persistent
Wurmcoil Engine is just great, and doubling that death trigger is fantastic. Can't play its new little brother, because he's black, but the original is still a classic
Threefold Thunderhulk has two ETB's that can be copied, and he's a sacrifice outlet. I would also recommend Hangarback Walker since you can double the death trigger
If you put in enough Artifact sacrifices cards like Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, and Loran, Disciple of History to recur them back to your hand. Also consider Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender for payoffs to all that sacrificing.
Its a dead horse, but Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are never bad choices.

haki2022 +1
Voltaic + rings + Everflowing Chalice (4 counters) =
Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Sol Ring + Junk Diver - Combo
Scrap Trawler + Sculpting Steel + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Foundry Inspector - Combo
Blinkmoth Urn = Ramp, add Blinkmoth Well to make this asymmetrical + politics (which also is synergy with winter orb)
Karn, Legacy Reforged - Ramp
Have you thought of swapping out Void Winnower for Emrakul, the Promised End? Given you're in colorless, it can be hard to interact with the board at times. Emmy is a powerhouse which can potential be cheaper to cast that Void, not to mention it's potentially high ceiling. To sweeten the pot, Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant is synergy with it and helpful on it's own given your potential for over-extending (assuming no flash enabler).
Phyrexia's Core > Treasure vault(?) - Core acts as a sac outlet to prevent artifact theft, exile and most importantly, remove The One Ring. Ironworks is the only other card that can remove it. Having another card (a land which can be tutored for) is an additional form of redundancy that you might find more useful than treasure vault if you meta is on the more competitive side.
Potential cuts....
- Blast Zone - Too slow, especially for potential higher powered or cEDH games.
- God-Pharaoh's Statue - Unless you ramp into it, it's not that impactful. Given you already have a lot of redundancy, this is your weakest card in the deck IMO. You could potentially swap it out for another control card such as Ward of Bones but you're better off lowering the avg cmc of the deck.
Very solid deck and low avg cmc, great job

Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero, Goblin Welder, Daretti, Scrap Savant, Wake the Past, Myr Retriever, and Goblin Engineer to name a few. But yeah, it seems like something that can be personally researched...
Neotrup on Interaction between Myr Retriever and …

Correct, you do not control an artifact card in your graveyard. In addition, it's not an artifact in your graveyard, it's an artifact card. Beyond that, protection only works while on the battlefield, you can target an artifact card in your graveyard that has protection from Myr Retriever.

If Rebbec, Architect of Ascension is in play and Myr Retriever dies, will the artifact in my grave that I target have protections granted by Rebbec? I'm 99% sure it will not, because I don't "control" them (requiring them to be in play). Correct...?
TIA
