Daretti, Scrap Savant is an interesting mix of a Dredge and Artifact commander. His main goal is to put high mana, game changing artifacts into your graveyard, with the purpose of reanimating them later at the low cost of a smaller artifact. To compliment this, I also run mass land destruction, board wipes, and some stax pieces (as long as we keep Daretti safe, we can run much better on few to no lands then most opponents). While this list isn't hyper competitive, it does well for the (relatively) small investment I've put into it.

Combos and Synnergies:

Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice : This combo makes all cards on the field artifacts, but only yours indestructible. This card combo is normally used with Nevinyrral's Disk to let you wipe your opponents field (lands included) every turn, while keeping yours intact. While not an instant win, I've yet to have an opponent come back from it. Beyond that, this can be used with our MLD to keep our lands from going away, or just the Lattice and Hellkite Tyrant can allow you to steal every permanent an opponent controls (which generally means a win on your next upkeep).

Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus These, along with an artifact sac outlet allow you to take pretty much an infinite amount of turns (assuming you have 5 mana to make a copy each turn). While Goblin Welder and Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer are our best ways to do so, Bosh, Iron Golem is a usable, if more mana extensive way to do so. And even using the -2 on Daretti can generally buy you enough turns to either draw into one of these or win outright.

Clock of Omens + either Static Orb or Winter Orb allows you to turn off the negative effects on your opponents end step leading to your untap. Beyond that, it lets you tap otherwise worthless artifacts for your mana rocks to untap, or to just use otherwise good tap effects on your other artifacts.

Beyond these, our main way to win is simply to beat down our opponents with big creatures, or to use Mindslaver and force an opponent to do the work for us. The deck is lacking some cards, such as Metalworker, Mana Crypt, as well as some other great artifacts. But the deck stands up well in a semi competitive meta, and Daretti himself can stand up in a competitive meta when fully optimized. I'm not overly looking for tips for the deck (since most of the cards I still need are the very expensive ones), though if you know of any good cards for the deck that most people feel free to run, leave em in the comments for me, as well as any feedback you might have.
