Deus ex Machina (Modern MTG Deck)

This started as a budget affinity deck which I'm upgrading via Arcbound Ravager and Inkmoth Nexus. Since, at the moment, I can't afford 4x Mox Opal, and even if I could afford them, I have a feeling that I would spend at least 80€ on each and the day after they would get banned... But I have to admit that they are one of the most busted cards in Modern, if not the most. Knowing that, I think they are quite irreplaceable, however, I'm trying to find what to put in their place for the moment and still keep a competitive level. Another question mark about the list is whether to keep the 1x Inventors' Fair 3x Blinkmoth Nexus pack or simply go for 4x Blinkmoth Nexus, as well as 1x Glimmervoid - 3x Spire of Industry. Apart from the mana base, there could be discussion about the proportion ofMemnites / Welding Jars, which I'm keeping 2/2 for the moment, and the increase/decrease in the number of copies of Steel Overseer and Master of Etherium. The rest I think is quite fixed.

The maybe board is mainly composed by cards that I used in the past budget version, except Blinkmoth Nexus, which I've already talked about, and Karn, Scion of Urza and Throne of the God-Pharaoh, interesting cards to which I have not yet found a place. In a further future, I could "upgrade" the deck by turning it into a Hardened Scales deck, but would it be an actual upgrade? It would probably a strategy shift, as while they share a quite similar base, they are definitely different decks. The question here is if it would be proportionally more competitive to justify the investment on Walkers, Ballistas, etc.
