Welcome to my Animar Artifact combo deck.

Didn't want to build the typical animar deck and decided that with animar's cost reducing ability some artifacts can be greatly abused.
However I also didn't want to win by just getting infinited enter the battlefield triggers and Purphoros, God of the Forge, or by casting an Eldrazi very fast.Because of this the deck isn't as strong as a regular animar, but hell with it. Don't need to build every deck to be super competitive.

So how does the deck work?
Well we got our typical mana ramp, card draw and tutoring going on.
However in the case of the tutors I'm mostly focused on finding artifacts with coverted mana cost 3 (either in the way of spells, transmute abilities or enter the battlefield effects)

Now why 3 mana?
To either get us lands or mana Burnished Hart and Metalworker
To find Combo Pieces Ashnod's Altar, Cloudstone Curio or Phyrexian Altar
And the creatures to abuse the combo pieces with.
For the 2 althars we will need 2 of these Junk Diver, Workshop Assistant and if needed Myr Retriever
For the Cloudstone Curio any enter the battlefield ability is great
Now we can produce infinite mana of any colour, get infinite counters on animar or arcbound ravager and draw our entire deck if we have a Vedalken Archmage, Primordial Sage or Soul of the Harvest out (and with dominaria I will add Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain).

Now our deck can go crazy midrange, draw a lot of cards and make lots of mana but makes sure it doesn't win with infinite, tried my best to avoid to power creatures so that I can use this as my casual deck while still surprising people that it isn't just another animar deck everyone already knows

If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them and I'll look into it,
