Budget version from my Built From Scratch Upgrade.

Without foil and promo cards, more close to the original preconstructed "BUILT FROM SCRATCH" (Commander2014 Edition / Commander Anthology Volume 2)

IDEA / GAME PLAN

Daretti's first & second ability are actually 2 function combined.

• +2 Discard / Draw Cards

• -2 Sacrifice / Reanimate Artifact

So I'm focusing on both of them and ETB value.

His second ability, exchanging artifacts also can cheat the cost.

The best opening hand is 2~3 lands with 1~2 manarocks, and some good quality artifact.

Cast mana rock, and discard high CMC artifacts, lands, or something you don't need immediately.

Play lands after Daretti's discard & draw. Your lands can be reuse in the graveyard by Crucible of Worlds.

Defense your Commander is not for the ultimate, but for the discard/card draw engine mainly.

When you hit some other cards can do the discard & draw thing. Now you can break the pattern, use Daretti's reanimate and surprise!

Ramp

• 10 of 14 cards below {2} drop, cast your commander ASAP.

Why not Worn Powerstone, why not Thran Dynamo? Cause they are not below 2 Drops, and not helping you play Daretti faster. Hedron Archive, Dreamstone Hedron are the larger versions of Mind Stone, also can combo with Alhammarret's Archive, or Rings of Brighthearth when you upgrade this deck.

Draw / Discard

• Alhammarret's Archive

  Best card it is. Make +2 draw 2 more cards, or pair with Panharmonicon make ETB draw 4 times the original quantity.

• Conspiracy Theorist, Containment Construct

  Discard synergy, impluse draw.

• Currency Converter, Big Score, Unexpected Windfall, Seize the Spotlight

  Treasure, lots of value. Seize the Spotlight with Any Sacrifice outlet are little bit nasty.

• Sandstone Oracle

  Usually, dump into your graveyard first.

• Faithless Looting

  Needless to say.

• Chromatic Star, Ichor Wellspring

  KCI style!

BTW Reliquary Tower & Thought Vessel aren't suitable with this deck, when you discard the right card into your graveyard can get more advantage.

Board Wipe / Defense

• Blasphemous Act

  One mana wrath, cool.

• All is Dust

  Artifacts will live on.

• Nevinyrral's Disk

  The real deal is the combo with Darksteel Forge. It could be untaped by Zealous Conscripts or Clock of Omens BTW.

• Mystifying Maze

  Cause my playgroup already had Dragonlord Ojutai, so I prefer Mystifying Maze rather than Maze of Ith. Also, it can produce mana.

• Vandalblast, Scrap Mastery

  only wipe out artifacts, so gonna do with the combo.

Combo

• Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast , Mycosynth Lattice + Scrap Mastery , Darksteel Forge + Nevinyrral's Disk

  Kaboom!! Marvelous fireworks indeed, you evil terrorist.

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts , Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Clock of Omens + Myr Battlesphere + Any thing could turn Kiki into artifact

  Infinite attackers!

• Crucible of Worlds + Rings of Brighthearth + Tectonic Edge etc.

  Lands go bye-bye! Or fetch two lands at once.

KCI Combo Show

• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Foundry Inspector or Jhoira's Familiar

1. Begin casting a spell. Proceed normally until you are allowed to activate mana abilities.
2. Sacrifice Myr Retriever to KCI. Both Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler’s abilities trigger here, but wait to go on the stack until a player would get priority.
3. Sacrifice Scrap Trawler to KCI. Scrap Trawler’s ability triggers, but it will wait to go on the stack until a player would get priority. You can play using 3 of the 4 manas added each time gain one Generate any other mana you need to pay for the spell, and then pay for it to finish the casting process. It doesn’t matter that you’ve made excess mana with KCI.
4. The three triggers will go on the stack at this point in the order of your choice. The trigger from Myr Retriever’s ability should target Scrap Trawler and the trigger from Scrap Trawler dying should target Myr Retriever. Scrap Trawler’s trigger from Myr Retriever dying is extra and can target a 1 or 0-CMC artifact card in your graveyard. (If you return a Chromatic Star this way, you draw a card on each iteration of the loop.) Recast the returned cards and go to step 1.

• Sculpting Steel, Cursed Mirror could copy Scrap Trawler, also work.

Magda Clock Combo Show

• Clock of Omens + Liquimetal Torque + Magda, Brazen Outlaw

1. Activate Liquimetal Torque target Magda, Brazen Outlaw.
2. Activate Clock of Omens, tapping itself and Magda, Brazen Outlaw to untap Magda, Brazen Outlaw.
3. Magda triggers, creating a Treasure token.
4. Activate Clock of Omens, tapping the Treasure token and Magda, Brazen Outlaw to untap Magda, Brazen Outlaw. Magda triggers, creating a Treasure token

Repeat steps 3-4

Results:

Infinite tapped Treasure tokens.

Put any number of artifacts and Dragons from your library onto the battlefield.

Infinite colored mana at your next untap phase.

• Liquimetal Torque could be replace by Mycosynth Lattice

• When Magda is in your graveyard, using Feldon of the Third Path or Dollhouse of Horrors to get a copy.

And you can find more!
