draaien on Historic/Artifact (Budget deck)

I feel like this deck needs to tend either to a midrange deck with additions like Traxos, Scourge of Kroog. Together with Voltaic Servant this card works like a normal 4 mana 7/7 trample. To go this road not much needs changing. Just cut some of the combo pieces that do nothing outside the combo like Mishra's Self-Replicator. Manalith is also really not needed when running 24 lands in 2 colours. Maybe consider cutting some of the really defencive cards as well if you go this road like Baird, Steward of Argive and Amulet of Safekeeping this can go into your sideboard though if you are facing token decks. Skilled Animator would also be in the main board in this case. Using some of the board wipes white provides or more counters blue provides should at least be in the sideboard.

Or you could focus on is the combo part of the deck. This seems to be a bit further off because in this case the deck should be loaded with boardwipes (Settle the Wreckage, Cleansing Nova) and counters (Cancel,Essence Scatter) . An interesting counter to look into either way is Hornswoggle as the treasures this provides will always turn into 5/5 in this deck. If you want to go full combo you need as many copies of each combo piece as you can and cut all the clutter. Stuff like Relic Runner, Sparring Construct and everything else that isn't control or card draw/fixing.

A fun card you migth want to run because it is fun is Magistrate's Scepter in the defencive set-up you can always treathen a counter and then on the end of their turn load it up.

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog and Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage would also be great historic payoffs!

I would go -3 Relic Runner, -3 Serra Disciple

+4 Gearsmith Prodigy, +2 Ornithopter.

Also the 4 Darksteel Citadel should be easy to fit it, -2 plains -1 island -1 new benalia

The artifact sub theme will help your deck be more aggressive.

Ps- Consider Raff instead of cards like Lavinia and Odric, he’s incredible payoff
