Need help reducing the deck down to a final 100 card list.

Deck Concept

This deck is an artifact based deck with a little red thrown in (because brown is slightly red). The idea is to remain fair and not play any type of game-ending combination that is an auto win. For that reason, we don't play things like Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice . Secondly, I am trying to keep the deck reasonably priced. There are non-budget artifacts in the Maybeboard that would be considered but for their cost.

Wincons

-Sneak Attack and Pia's Revolution: Hit hard just for sneaking creatures.

-Sneak Attack, Pia's Revolution, Mirrorworks: Hit harder just for sneaking creatures and keep the creature around longer.

-Bosh, Iron Golem: Let's just sac our huge creatures over and over to dish out damage as necessary.

-Trading Post and Spine of Ish Sah creates a nice synergy loop-like effect of destroying specific targets while being able to repeat the effect. It's not infinite, and being able to untap Trading Post would be key to making it a pseudo board wipe.

-Geode Golem and Bosh, Iron Golem make a particularly potent synergistic combination for clearing the board in order to hit with Geode or just to hit life totals directly.

Deck Teck

Creatures

-Aladdin: Steal artifacts for days.

-Darksteel Colossus: The "fair" colossus. Hits hard.

-Draco: What brown deck would be complete without Drake.

-Foundry Inspector: Cost reducer

-Geode Golem: Helps us play Bosh earlier and for free'ish.

-Goblin Engineer: Stacks the graveyard as well as helps us recur artifacts from the yard. Has a milkshake.

-Goblin Welder: Outstanding graveyard recursion that ignores casting costs.

-Iron Myr: Mana is important

-Jhoira's Familiar: Cost reducer

-Karn, Silver Golem: Another brown deck staple that we would feel incomplete without.

-Kuldotha Forgemaster: Outstanding tutor

-Lodestone Golem: Your things cost more than my things.

-Metalwork Colossus: This giant robot comes down easily and hits hard.

-Metalworker: Need mana?

-Meteor Golem: Pesky card solver.

-Mycosynth Golem: Cost reducer

-Myr Battlesphere: Create the great myr army.

-Myr Retriever: It's in the name, retrieve.

-Platinum Angel: He sighed and looked at the card with his finger still on it.

-Platinum Emperion: Also a "fair" giant robot.

-Scrap Trawler: Yard recursion. You feeling scrappy?

-Shimmer Myr: Let's us play our non-instant speed deck at instant speed.

-Solemn Simulacrum: Helps us find a Mountain and draw a card.

-Steel Hellkite: Because for some reason giant robots can't swing in the air.

-Triskelion: I have always wanted to play Trisk.

-Voltaic Construct: Untap as necessary.

-Voltaic Servant: Untap is necessary.

-Walking Ballista: Ping ping ping

-Wurmcoil Engine: I mean... come on. It's Wurmcoil. If Charlie had designed a wurm engine and not a train engine (Snowpiercer), this would definitely have been it.

Non-Creatures

Still sorting and figuring out.

Spells

-All Is Dust: Boardwipes are good. Being colorless (mostly), this is the best option we have.

-Faithless Looting: Looting is a method to draw cards and put key artifacts in the yard as necessary for cheaper recursion to the battlefield.

-Gamble: The only true tutor we have available in red.

-Saheeli's Directive: Allows us to dig deep while stacking our graveyard for later recursions.

-Scrap Mastery: Recursion of artifacts in the graveyard to the battlefield.

-Trash for Treasure: Recursion of artifacts in the graveyard to the battlefield.

-Vandalblast: Another boardwipe of artifacts we don't control. Great for one offs and overloading.

Planeswalkers

-Daretti, Scrap Savant: Yes, we could play Daretti as our commander. Yes, it is great at a lot of things. But remember, we're trying to be "fair."

-Ugin, the Ineffable: An ineffectual dragon that does reduce our costs.

-Ugin, the Spirit Dragon: The force is strong with this one as it wipes the board of empires.

Pet Cards to Consider

-Null Brooch: Counters in colorless?

-Sands of Time: Makes you scratch your head

-Storage Matrix: Gums up the board

-Hellkite Tyrant: Auto win

-Ankh of Mishra: Anti-Lands

-Traxos, Scourge of Kroog: Looks like a transformer

-Jhoira's Toolbox: Protects

-Krark-Clan Ironworks: Eh, mana?

-Clock of Omens: Untap ability for Trading Post

-Nevinyrral's Disk: Combine with indestructible for a repeatable board wipe.

Cards Not Under Consideration

-Blightsteel Colossus: Nobody likes losing to infect.

-Mycosynth Lattice: Outside of the combo, I do not like this card for this deck. I don't like the combo as it is an automatic win in my opinion.

-Karn, the Great Creator: see above for Mycosynth Lattice
