Affinity for Rubber Chickens (Chiss-Goria EDH)

Idoneity: Thanks for the kudos. The deck is really fun. Which artifact commander was it you were running?
Traveler's Amulet and friends are interesting, but I don't usually like going that low with lands. Then again, I like that idea. I'll have to think about that.
Welding Jar is nice, but a little too low impact.
Spiteful Banditry has the problem of not being an artifact. The nonartifact count can be an actual issue.
Portal to Phyrexia and Memory Jar are both beyong what I'd pay for a single card, but especially portal would be a great addition to the list.
Brass's Tunnel-Grinder Flip and Ruin Grinder both are really cool and will get on my buylist.
In short: Great input, thanks a lot!

Affinity for Rubber Chickens (Chiss-Goria EDH)

Love this list. It's very silly and it's very cool. That's enough for my +1.
However, what sort of commenter would I be if I were to abstain from imparted recommendations? Tribute to the Squeaky Mister.
Imma be mindful of budget. Welding Jar is a fantastic piece of utility that furthers your affinity plan. They do substantially less, but Mishra's Bauble and Ichor Wellspring each act the same in that regard.
It's no artifact, but Spiteful Banditry poops out treasure tokens when and after it wraths.
Something I did in my artifact list to increase artifact count is replace lands with Traveler's Amulet style effects. For the same reason, I also run Wanderer's Twig, Renegade Map, Mycosynth Wellspring, and Expedition Map
.
For your big squeakies, I couldn't recommend Ruin Grinder more. It's easy to slot in because it's secretly a Mountain, and it let's you draw in a pinch.
I'm sure you know Portal to Phyrexia, but I figured I'd mention it.
One of the best artifacts in the past few years is Brass's Tunnel-Grinder Flip. It's just good. I've never been displeased with one in hand, as it always minimally replaces itself and card filters.
A final recommendation that forgoes budget concerns is Memory Jar. It's one of the best draw effects an artifact deck can muster. A one-sided, one-turn wheel is as good as it gets, especially when it's cast with affinity.
Of course, all of these suggestions are brought about by a different mind, so employ only what you see fit. You know which squeakies he likes best, so not all of these may be up to snub.
Love the deck! Stay silly!

Ferropede and Thrull Parasite are a little fragile, but they're very good at keeping finality counters away. Magister Sphinx has a big mana cost, and it's a niche meta card, but can help reign in someone's life total if it's getting out of control, or just set up a lethal attack. Sharuum the Hegemon could be fun here.
I'm not sure you're getting full value out of Altar of the Wretched Flip. What's the intent here? You get one sacrifice, some draw, some self-mill, and a potentially big but not especially versatile creature. And the creatures in the deck are generally small to mid-sized, so you have to dump a lot of future value into what's basically a big-but-not-huge beater. Am I missing something?
With no Rooms, Keys to the House isn't any better than Wanderer's Twig or Traveler's Amulet. Armillary Sphere, Moonsilver Key or Wayfarer's Bauble might be better--a little more expensive to use, but more utility.
Stoic Rebuttal is on-theme, but Counterspell is just better.
There's kind of a Thopter token subtheme here. Does it feel like it's working?

Back again, legendofa, and maybe for the last time. The art is all homogenizing and my eyes are starting to glaze over, but I managed to pick these first person viewpoint cards from a few different sets.
•Happily Ever After (check out the far right side, I think we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of whoever’s holding the goblet with a blue shirt)
•Mirror Shield (I prefer the Ocarina of Time version myself)
Possibles:
•Grim Physician At first I thought the hand in the foreground belonged to someone else, then I thought it belonged to the sick guy, and I’ve been bouncing back and forth since. Not enough art is shown for me to settle on a choice.
•Idyllic Tutor Hand coming in from out of frame, but no way is this a first person perspective.
•Memory Drain I can’t tell if it’s a guy or a statue bust reflected in the eyes, but either way I think the angle is too far off for it to be a FPP reflection view.
•Traveler's Amulet unless the scenery reflected in the medallion has eyeballs, I think this one’s out.

Took a look at the Egyptian block legendofa, found some good ones.
•Driven / Despair (particularly the Despair half)
•Nissa's Defeat (might have to go under Tentacles/Tendrils category, but I think it counts)
These are close but I’m not sure how you feel:
•Accursed Horde I’m in favor of this one. No hands are shown which belong to the subject, but I am convinced this is first person. The skeleton guy is grabbing the necklace of the viewer.
•Lethal Sting I have no idea what sort of creature this stinger is connected to, so I don’t know if this is from its perspective or not.
•Deem Worthy is definitely FPP, but we only see a weapon without any hands shown.
•Lay Bare the Heart the angle might be a bit too side-on to be 1st person, but your call.

Emrakul, the Promised End

I took out Traveler's Amulet, and Wanderer's Twig, even though I LOVE these cards in this deck (see reasons above)...
Kept in Expedition Map, and Environmental Sciences (same reasons as see above)...
Expedition map searches for any land, which is super utility in this deck, and it's a colorless tutor, even if it is conditional... It also supports Manascape Refractor, which I'm hyped on, and trying out...
Environmental sciences is the same idea as the Amulet and Twig and Map (see above), it helps you have a land drop, but it's also 1 of only 7 sorceries as of now, which count towards casting Emrakul, the Promised End when in the graveyard...

Anatak thank you for your comment! I'm glad you've been inspired to make your own Angel deck!
As for Traveler's Amulet, I like it as we can tutor for a basic and help to thin the deck. It isn't absolutely necessary, as you could probably get away with something like Extraplanar Lens if you really wanted to. Plus, it can be recurred with Serra Paragon so we can get more value out of it.

Allow me to begin by thanking you. I've taken a lot of inspiration from this deck in crafting my own Angel deck.
I wanted to ask: Regarding Traveler's Amulet, is this manner of Artefact worth it in mono-colour deck? It seems like we wouldn't really be gaining much value from it, or am I missing something?
