Mostly because I don't want to rely too heavily on my commander, but I do see your point, what would you recommend I take out?
Additionally..
Arcbound Ravager is a great card, but out of my budget atm.
Arcum Dagsson could see play in this deck soon, I like it.
Carnage Altar and Sage of Lat-Nam good but not efficient enough imo, I used to run cards like Krark-Clan Ironworks in here but they just weren't effective enough.
And I already have Scourglass in this deck :p

I'm not the guy to talk to about replacements... Hence the title "Master of Indecision". Biggest problem in Brewing.

I'm very partial to Chief of the Foundry in artifact decks. Also, Grand Abolisher is always fun in a white deck.

Thanks for the suggestions elyria! I like Chief of the Foundry except I feel that Master of Etherium would almost always be a better option and I haven't decided whether of not I want to put that in this deck. Grand Abolisher is a card I haven't yet considered and I like it, the issue is of course that it is not retrievable but it's a good card nonetheless.

I believe Tez would be better if that is your replacement. Sure a loss of creature, but versatile to either pseudo vigilence artifact creatures, or double use mana rocks l, etc. Tutor artifacts, and make artifact creatures, albeit temporarily.

Dispatch, Venser, the Sojourner, Thirst for Knowledge, Seal of Cleansing, and Standstill all seem very good for this deck.
Also, Stasis plus a sac outlet like Claws of Gix sound really mean and fun with hanna.

Yarr, and a fine booty it be, matey. I wouldn't be mindin' to plunder it meself.
It looks like a strong deck! The only immediate suggestion I can think of is Aura of Silence. It both heavily taxes opponents for playing artifacts and enchantments, and with Hanna, you can loop it and destroy multiple targets over the course of the game.

I've been considering that card for a while, and I think it would do more work than a Glaring Spotlight so, it's in! Thank you for the suggestion NarejED

Also, sorry TARDISMasterMC I didn't mean to skip over your suggestions, I was just looking over your stuff and while it's all good, I can't think of anything to take out at the moment for the cards you have suggested. (If I'm totally in the wrong about any of these cards, please let me know)
Stasis is just mean :p and Claws of Gix is only useful with Stasis and Spine of Ish Sah
Standstill will paint a target on my back from the opponent that goes after me (unless I flash it in)
Dispatch cannot be recycled and is conditional; < Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile
Seal of Cleansing < Aura of Silence which just got in this deck
Thirst for Knowledge is good, but draw hasn't been an issue with this deck
Venser, the Sojourner is also good, but I don't know if he would be very useful in this deck

Lands first. Mystifying Maze, Phyrexia's Core, Temple of the False God, and the urza lands should go. Work some more dual lands in here. The main issue with your deck that I see is that it's very vulnerable to disruption and combo. You essentially have no way of combating a Cyclonic Rift or someone resolving a combo. I highly suggest you add some light and efficient countermagic to your deck. Things like Swan Song, Dispel, Arcane Denial, Delay, etc. General reactive cards like Reality Shift, Swords to Plowshares, etc. would also make your deck less prone to magisturbation. Your acmc is also really high. I suggest you work your way down to 2.5 to 3.0 or something like that. If your meta is particularly slow, maybe 3.5 could work too. You could start doing that by eliminating some of the good stuff. Finally, I think you need more draw in the deck.

Thank you for your suggestionsTheDevicer. They're very insightful and I'll see what I can do!

What about Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile instead of Soul Snare, for instance?
December 18, 2015 2:30 p.m.
Soul snare can be recurred w/ Hanna. It's also a nice way of deturring opponent's creatures as long as it is on the field

Since a good chunk of the deck revolves around sacking and recurring artifacts and enchantments, and since many of them have a CMC of 3 or less, it seems like Sun Titan might be a worthy inclusion. In a good setup, he's essentially a second, sometimes stronger, Hanna. I use him in my fully optimized Zur deck, and he's well worth the spot. He also recurs lands, but that's not terribly relevant since you're not running any fetches.
While we're talking about big white creatures with powerful effects.. World Queller? He seems amazing here.
Also, I do think Seal of Cleansing and Standstill are both worth running. Sure, Standstill makes the person next to you hate you. A repeatable 3 cards per turn makes it worthwhile though, especially if you do end up adding in Sun Titan.
December 19, 2015 2 a.m.
Thank you for your suggestions. Sun Titan is definitely a worthy conclusion, I guess I just skipped over somehow recently. World Queller does seem pretty good, but I'm not sure he's fast enough. I haven't had a problem w/ opponent's artifacts/enchantments yet so I'll hold off on Seal of Cleansing for now (maybeboard) and I've already stated why I haven't included Standstill.
December 19, 2015 1:07 p.m.
I know, but I felt the reasons for not including Standstill didn't seem to quite justify its not being added. It's one of those cases where the raw power outweighs the political downside.

After a few months of playing/brewing this deck, I'm starting to see your perspective and some changes have been made, thanks you all for the suggestions!

Ephara, God of the Polis or Luminarch Ascension could maybe be of use here or for a little more pillows Sphere of Safety. Gift of Immortality could be killer with Hannas ability :) Nice deck +1

Why not add some sort of Sac engine when you have that level of recurrence?
Arcbound Ravager - Could become giant.
Arcum Dagsson - If an artifact ceases to be useful, get another.
Carnage Altar - Additional draw power
Sage of Lat-Nam - Additional draw power
Scourglass - Because reasons.
