The price on T/O is the average price. By looking hard, you can get every card in this deck for about 20 bucks, so I guess I'm still a bit off what I said, but whatever : )
Thanks, artifacts are pretty damn good!

"That Guy" returns :P. Lightning Axe only hits creatures. Not as useful for ending games. Lava Spike or Lightning Bolt are the best for a "low budget"

"This guy" should probably hit FAMOUSWATERMELON in the face, cause he's feeling really stupid...
Maybe Artillerize or Beacon of Destruction would work as a replacement? I am reluctant about using the cards you suggested, because usually in a game, I get him down to 5 with 3x Ornithopter hitting with Ensoul Artifact. And as weird as it sounds, 3 life feels a bit week to me.

Shrine of Burning Rage might work, and you can even use it as a Ensoul Artifact or Shrapnel Blast target.

I should be slapped again, because I actually have like 6 of those. Thanks a ton.

Some cards that might help you in terms of speed and damage:
Generator Servant for manaramp + gives haste
Galvanic Blast 4 dmg for 1 mana if you have some artifacts
Thran Golem less strong than Scuttling Doom Engine but costs 1 mana less and with Ensoul Artifact he's huge

Sorry this response took so long, there have been some technical problems.
Generator Servant was in the original build, but I dropped it because Chief Engineer is just more effective, even if he doesn't give haste.
Galvanic Blast does look interesting, I'll have to try it out a bit.
Thran Golem - What the hell is this card? Wizards should really think before putting certain things into circulation... Looks great! I'll try it out and see where I can fit it.
Also, this deck is going to go under some major renovation to make it modern legal, so I'll let you know when that happens, maybe you could give me some advice?
Thanks a lot!

Hate to be "That Guy" but the price of the deck is 18 dollars NOT including 4x Scuttling Doom Engine, 4x Chief Engineer and 4x Ensoul Artifact. They are actually a decent chunk of money when you add them up. Now that I'm done being "That Guy", Izzet Artifacts FTW! With all the new cards printed it certainly is the way to go!
