if making copies of your artifacts is something you want to do, then i suggest using Three Steps Ahead and Worldwalker Helm. in my simulacrum deck it goes on curve turn 3, 4, and 5 to start churning out simulacrums every turn. turn 1 and 2 vary a bit but turn three is usually either Simulacrum Synthesizer, Assimilation Aegis, Braided Net  ^Flip, Steel Seraph or Thran Spider. then at turn 4 i hold up mana for Three Steps Ahead and copy at instant speed. then turn 5 i play Worldwalker Helm for 3 and then hold up mana to copy the artifact token when i feel like it. you may like this. you definitely dont need to go white for this its just my preference. worldwalker is especially fun because it buffs the constructs by making the copy and also making maps.

here is my deck list for reference. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/20-04-24-standard-artifacts/

You can link cards by enclosing the card name in double brackets.

Simulacrum Synthesizer

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.

I'm curious as to why you've put Nulldrifter here? It's not an artifact so doesn't help with Affinity and doesn't trigger Simulacrum Synthesizer. Added to this, I don't see any realistic way for you to actually be able to cast this... it feels like a dead card in this deck?

Also surprised to not see Frogmite here - that card is easily one of the powerhouses in the current Simulacrum Synthesizer builds.

Finally, your land count looks super low (Affinity typically runs 19-20ish lands), and is missing a density of lands which are artifacts (i.e Tanglepool Bridge), which is probably going to make it harder to cast your Affinity spells.
