The original goal of this deck was to get Traxos and Golden Guardian to work together. From there it turned into an all Artifact deck, expect Karn.

There are a few interesting synergies I wanted to play with in this deck:

• Traxos, Scourge of Kroog + Golden Guardian   / Gold-Forge Garrison (also the rest of the deck)
• Mishra's Self-Replicator + The Entire Deck
• Golden Guardian   + Most of the Artifact Creatures with any of the Weapons in the deck
• EX: Jhoira's Familiar with a Jousting Lance will kill Golden Guardian   to flip it without dying itself
• Jhoira's Familiar + The Entire Deck
• No copies of lands + Awakened Amalgam
• 5 Guildgates + Gatekeeper Gargoyle
• Access to all 5 colors + Chamber Sentry
• Traxos, Scourge of Kroog + Voltaic Servant (and the rest of the deck)
• Helm of the Host + Any of the above mentioned creatures (except probably Voltaic Servant or Mishra's)
• Karn, Scion of Urza + The Entire Deck

I initially wanted to avoid lands that came into play tapped but the guildgates with the gargolye seem like a worthwhile trade and it also works with the Glaive of the Guildpact that I currently have sideboarded. My biggest concerns with the deck are that it will probably be pretty slow and it might be difficult to get the lands I need. The Arcane Encyclopedia and Treasure Map are intended to help with that. The Jhoria's Familiars will also help with that, the most expensive card in the deck is a 6 colorless which could potentially become a 2 cost if all of my Joira's Familiar get on the board, it could even get to 0 cost if Helm of the Host is used with Jhoria's Familiar.

Other potential issues that jump out at me include:

• No Instants/Sorceries
• No Removal
• SLOW
• Getting Flooded with Equipment

Overall I don't really expect this to be a great deck, or even really viable. This is mostly an experiment in what I think are interesting card synergies.
