This thing stinks on ice and can't reliably combo off before like turn 9 or 10. It needs ramp and way more draw. Probably gotta cut down the combos to one or three categories. Currently it has "creature graveyard loops," "artifact graveyard loops," "solemnity locks," "drannith magistrate locks," "two card instant kills," "phyrexian unlike kill tricks," "Konrad/mindcrank mill," "token trigger nonsense," and deadeye navigator with peregrine drake plus thopter sword if you want that outside graveyard loops or token triggers. Maybe it'd be cool to make a few modular decks for different combo categories, or just take some of these out to make room for rocks and draw and, like, wishclaw talisman or whatever. If I pare down to artifact aristocrats, these scryfall searches will matter:

• o:/^sacrifice \w* creature[s]?:/ commander:wub
• t:artifact o:"when ~ is" commander:wub
• t:artifact o:"when ~ enters the battlefield or" commander:wub

I made this deck to contain Morinfen and Gallowbraid. Eon Hub is the main thing to get out- the idea is, broadly, to get value from things that have prohibitive upkeep or cumulative upkeep costs- Chromium is the right colors to take advantage of that and fits the upkeep cost theme. Incidentally, Esper is also a great color combination for tutoring out one specific artifact (Eon Hub). Then I was like "wait that's just a really bad deck" and put in too many infinite combos. Reckless numbers of infinite combos. Probably some I've forgotten. Win conditions coming out my ears, as long as they don't involve an upkeep step. So many combos I pulled the weak upkeep cards (including, now, Morinfen and Gallowbraid lmao). Then, with the state the deck was in, Chromium didn't make sense as a commander anymore so I swapped for Sharuum the Hegemon. Some of those wincon (or don't-lose-con) combos:

Solemnity with any of Glacial Chasm, Nine Lives, Phyrexian Unlife, Mystic Remora, or Decree of Silence do something interesting/repulsive.

Cavern Harpy is here for free "return a creature to my hand" stuff to aid combos with Intruder Alarm and with Phyrexian Unlife I can pay everything (Ethereal Champion is an acceptable substitute). Then an Oketra's Last Mercy and Vizkopa Guildmage's second activated ability become a killing blow. Or kill someone with Soul Conduit.

Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek with Ashnod's Altar is infinite creature ETBs for Altar of the Brood plus infinite mana that can go into whatever, like Torment of Hailfire or infinite mill with Ambassador Laquatus, or the deaths matter to Zulaport Cutthroat or Marionette Master, or Merieke Ri Berit with Intruder Alarm and the infinite ETBs can wipe everyone's board. Or infinite turns with Time Sieve.

Fractured Identity with Phage the Untouchable is a two-card "I win" so that's cute. Then, there's Spine of Ish Sah with Priest of Yawgmoth and Mirran Spy for "wipe everyone's boards and have arbitrarily many artifact LTBs" to trigger Disciple of the Vault.

Viridian Longbow with Intruder Alarm and Warchanter Skald.

Bontu's Monument with Bog Initiate and Ashnod's Altar and Endless Cockroaches or Oathsworn Vampire.

Syr Konrad, the Grim with Morality Shift, and also Syr Konrad, the Grim with Mindcrank.

Mortus Strider with Deathrender and Any Sac Outlet and then a Zulaport Cutthroat.

Duskmantle Guildmage with Mindcrank is both mill and damage.

Uba Mask or Omen Machine and Drannith Magistrate are two-card locks on top of the magistrate being a "nobody else can cast their commander" card to begin with.

Also, of course, Sharuum the Hegemon and Sculpting Steel is a two-card loop.

Fastest possible win is turn 4, if I'm not mistaken- set up Altar of the Brood or Disciple of the Vault and then Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Ashnod's Altar loop.
