My take on a pretty typical Daretti, Scrap Savant Commander deck. I bought the prefab deck back when my friends first got me started on the Commander format, and I've been upgrading this bits and pieces at a time. It is already quite a bit more competitive than most of the other decks in my playgroup, so I hesitate to make any serious changes/upgrades.

Basic premise is find various ways of pitching high-cost artifacts into the graveyard, and swapping them into play by sacrificing various low-cost cards that offer some sort of value. This is primarily facilitated through Daretti's -2 loyalty ability, though other cards like Goblin Welder and Feldon of the Third Path also benefit from the artifact-reanimator strategy. For more direct-from-the-library tutors, there is Kuldotha Forgemaster and Planar Bridge. No real "silver bullets" though, just more opportunities to pull various value cards or win-cons out of the deck.

Some of my favorite combos I have actually pulled off in games:

Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast overloaded to blow up absolutely everything on everyone's board except mine. Swiftly followed by several "sorcery speed concede" turns.

Feldon of the Third Path + Duplicant in-graveyard for exile-removal on a stick. Added benefit of combat pressure if done on my turn, since the Duplicant token gains haste and gets a P/T buff depending on what was exiled. Can also be done off-turn as instant-speed removal + chump blocker when done during the declare blockers step.

Feldon of the Third Path + Wurmcoil Engine in-graveyard for massive value and combat pressure. Gets a 6/6 lifelink/deathtouch/haste token each turn that leaves behind a 3/3 lifelink and 3/3 deathtouch token every time. I have won more than a few games thanks to Wurmcoil Engine value farming like this.

Oracle's Vault + Paradox Engine can dump absolute loads of cards into play. Since the lands played by Oracle's Vault are sill limited by normal land play rules, though, it typically falls a bit short from dumping the whole deck onto the battlefield.

Blasphemous Act + Karn, Silver Golem to blow up various other players' mana rocks or key-strategy artifacts, along with basically all of the creatures on the board. Followed up next turn by pulling Karn out of the bin with Daretti, Scrap Savant and using him to turn all of my non-creature artifacts into artifact creatures and swinging into mostly empty board states.

Hellkite Igniter + a few decent mana rocks is usually all it takes to knock somebody out of the game. With Caged Sun on the field, Hellkite's pumps get downright nasty!

My all-time best opening hand was Inventors' Fair into Sol Ring into Mind Stone, and finishing out with Voltaic Key. Turn two was gain 1 life from Inventor's Fair trigger, followed by Mountain into Daretti, Scrap Savant, and pitching Steel Hellkite with his +2 loyalty ability. Turn 3 Steel Hellkite was no joke, scrapping Voltaic Key to swap Hellkite into the battlefield.

My real crowning achievement though was getting a Hellkite Tyrant to hit someone while Mycosynth Lattice + Darksteel Forge were on my field, stealing everything they had in play and winning the following turn because there was no non-destroy removal to kill the Hellkite before the upkeep trigger.

Like I said, not really looking for feedback on this one, more just showing off my pride-and-joy. Feel free to leave recommendations if you have them, though! Never hurts to get a second opinion on things.
