*With the banning of Atog and Prophetic Prism in Pauper, I decided to replace them with Ferrovore and Prismatic Lens, respectively. However, they could also be replaced with Defiant Salvager and Chromatic Star, as they each have similar effects that can suit this deck well.

This is my artifact-centered pauper deck that I've created, which I am very pleased with. The deck has one very straightforward goal: to sacrifice artifacts with Ferrovore to beef him up, swing for damage with the possible aid of Panic Spellbomb, then Fling him for direct damage. Should that fail, there are two alternate ways to win. There is Scrapyard Salvo, should the game run long and you've burned through or lost all your artifacts. And there's Disintegrate, using any and all excess mana either from Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Tower, or treasure tokens from Gleaming Barrier and Deadly Dispute to deal the most amount of X damage possible. Myr Retriever also works wonderfully at giving all of our artifacts an extra life as we return things from our graveyard to play again.

Because the mana curve is so low, I replaced Drossforge Bridge with Chromatic Star for mana fixing and the additional card draw it has, with the benefit of also being an artifact. I also considered replacing Deadly Dispute with Galvanic Blast, but figured that the benefits of card draw and a treasure token outweighed the additional damage in most cases. Flight Spellbomb could potentially work better as an evasion mechanic over Panic Spellbomb, and as long as Prismatic Lens is on the battlefield (or with a treasure) you can still pay for the graveyard draw trigger.
