Goal:

This deck's goal is to win in your EDH table and have everyone hate you after. I packed the deck with as many cool and interesting artifact synergy combos as I could. I chose Karn, Silver Golem to be the Commander because he has great synergy with artifacts and he is a part of some combos that will leave your opponents trembling at your feet for mercy.

Infinite Mana Combos:

Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith.

Karn, Silver Golem + Voltaic Construct + any mana rock that produces or more mana, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, Dreamstone Hedron, Basalt Monolith.

Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle + Myr Battlesphere, produces infinite mana and tokens.

Scarecrone + Voltaic Construct + Myr Battlesphere + Krark-Clan Ironworks.

Infinite Turn Combos:

Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus + Sac Outlet: Krark-Clan Ironworks or Phyrexia's Core.

Coretapper + Magistrate's Scepter + Recursion Outlet: Scarecrone or Mimic Vat.

Karn, Silver Golem + Nim Deathmantle + Mindslaver. Buried Ruin also gets this combo to go off for two extra turns, but not infinite. Only targets opponents obviously.

Other Cool Combos:

Karn, Silver Golem + Mycosynth Lattice= Blow up opponents lands for .

Clock of Omens + Myr Turbine= Lots of 1/1 Myrs.

Prototype Portal + Darksteel Citadel= A lot of Darksteel Citadels.

Mirage Mirror + Ugin's Nexus= Automatic extra turn as you use Mirage Mirror to copy Ugin's Nexus for . Since Ugin's Nexus is legendary you have to sac it and then you take an extra turn. This is only possible because at end of your turn Mirage Mirror will not be an Ugin's Nexus allowing you to take your extra turn.

Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk= The most brutal board wipe ever. None of your stuff gets destroyed while all of your opponents permanents get destroyed because of Mycosynth Lattice.

Krark-Clan Ironworks + Spine of Ish Sah= Allows you to destroy a lot of permanents.

Mirrorworks + Mycosynth Lattice= Play anything that you play for .

Karn, Silver Golem + Mimic Vat= Make any artifact into a creature as it enters the graveyard and you can play it for as it enters the graveyard.

How to Win:

1st: Get an infinite mana combo, doesn't matter which one, or have enough mana to take infinite turns.

2nd: Win with any of these cards on the battlefield:

Staff of Domination: Gain infinite life, draw your deck and play any card you want. Yeah this card is pretty broken.

Trading Post: With Karn, Silver Golem, Voltaic Construct, and an artifact in hand, you can make an infinite loop of gaining life, infinite 0/1 goats, drawing your entire deck, and returning every artifact in your graveyard into your hand. This card is harder to pull off than Staff of Domination, but is equally fun to win with.

Walking Ballista: This card is insane in this deck as you can shoot your opponents until they are all dead.

Planar Bridge or Planar Portal: Search your deck for anything you want and play it.

Staff of Nin: Ping your opponents for as much as you want only if you can untap it after.

Mindslaver, Ugin's Nexus, Magistrate's Scepter: You can take infinite turns with recursion or infinite mana. Just win by making your opponents concede because they can't take any more turns by either you taking turns or you controlling everyone's turns.

Conclusion: This deck is meant to have fun playing with a bunch of cool artifacts and combos. It has stax cards to try and slow down your opponents and make it where you are the only one going off. This deck is pretty sweet and is only for people who have the balls to go colorless. Hope you enjoy the deck, leave comments on any suggestions that you have. Thanks!
