Here I use artifacts and the incredible synergy between them to overpower the enemy. The deck is now an even better alternative to the Tier 1 Affinity, since Mox Opal and Mycosynth Lattice are now banned in the format.

Explanation of how it works:

Main combo is Cranial Plating + Etched Champion or Plating with a powered-up Creature
Cheap artifact bodies in Signal Pest, Ornithopter, Vault Skirge and Etherium Sculptor
Steel Overseer and Master of Etherium increase overall power
Galvanic Blast to kill threats or finish off the enemy
Ensoul Artifact to beef up weak creatures or Darksteel Citadel
Thoughtcast for hand refuel

Sideboard:

Serum Visions switches with Galvanic Blast or Ensoul Artifact for extra fluidity at the cost of some damage output
Stoic Rebuttal for countering stuff
Dispatch for hard removal
Relic of Progenitus against graveyard interactions
Another Steel Overseer to switch with Etched Champion or Master of Etherium depending on the matchup

Special mention to Shrapnel Blast and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. They're in Maybeboard because Side only allows 15 cards

As shown, the only financial concerns are Glimmervoid, Steel Overseer, Etched Champion and Master of Etherium but its a small investment for a really competitive deck using one of the most powerful archetypes in Modern. You can get the full deck (main and side boards) for around 70€ in MTG Cardmarket which is pretty cheap compared to most decks in the format. I usually play with my friends and a deck like this is more than enough for some fun wins

In the Maybeboard are a lot of cards I'm considering adding, but they will make the deck less budget

Modernizing — April 28, 2019

Edit

I added Springleaf Drum and Glimmervoid and removed basic lands. Now I only need Arcbound Ravager, Mox Opal and Inkmoth Nexus lol

Removed 2x Memnite, 1x Etched Champion and 1x Steel Overseer to make room for Vault Skirge

Removed Shrapnel Blast from mainboard to add Ensoul Artifact. Both spells are viable. It's a matter of preference and matchup
