Ashad, the Lone Cyberman needs YOUR help to fell less lonely and conquer the world

How often have you seen an artifact deck in Grixis colours () and without any Urza cards nor any Mishra?

This deck excels in filling the board with artifacts early and creating a bunch of copies of them, and then either finishing people with a giant Ashad, the Lone Cyberman, a gigantic army (especially with Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer), or winning with Mechanized Production.

The Grixis colour scheme also grants the deck some graveyard interaction, some card advantage (mostly in the form of card draw), and explosivity.

Ashad, the Lone Cyberman's title is as far from the truth as possible, in fact he should never be alone on your board: especially because his first ability incentivises you to have other creatures to sacrifice. For this reason specifically I chose a few cards that should always guarantee that you have such a creature to sacrifice: Biotransference being the most important, then Poetic Ingenuity, Urabrask's Forge, and Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer. Interestingly Esoteric Duplicator makes it so you never have to "commit" to a sacrifice, and sometimes triggers some pretty good ETBs as well. Encroaching Mycosynth makes it so you could get copies of your enchantments too (and the few creatures that arem't already artifacts). And finally Twinning Staff triggers for casualty, giving you an extra copy of that artifact.

In general this deck contains a lot of ways to create and copy tokens, so there are a few cards that gratly profit from it such as Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, Determined Iteration, Mechanized Production, Cybermat, Imskir Iron-Eater, Kappa Cannoneer, Marionette Apprentice, Master of Etherium, Cranial Ram, Cranial Plating, and Vat of Rebirth.

The sideboard consists of cards I cut either for budget reasons, house rules, or personal preference; but I still think they would be very valuable additions for the deck. The maybeboard consists of cards that came out after I built the deck, and I think could be good choices to include in revised decks with newer cards. The fun cathegory is a grouping of those cards that are either all round good (have multiple effects that sinergise in different ways with the deck and Ashad, the Lone Cyberman) or cards that have peculiar effects and sinergise with the deck well, but not in the other cathegories described.
