bThis is my budget artifact deck which frequently wins around turn 5-6.

The object is to drop as many free artifacts as possible early, then swing with Cranial Plated Nim attackers. Darksteel Juggernaut is another late game swinger which works nicely here. Strong against decks with minimal removal, weak to decks with heavy investment in Green/Red artifact removal.

Proteus Staff + Vedalken Engineer allows for cheap cycling of creatures like Ornithopter and Memnite.

Cranial Plating + Vedalken Engineer means tapping the engineer lets me move my Platings around as an instant, meaning a single unblocked attacker is now a huge threat.

Time Sieve + Ugin's Nexus allows for two extra turns when Ugin's is sacrificed to activate Time Sieve.

Cranial Plating + Nim Shambler is downright nasty in terms of damage and durability.

Memnite + Proteus Staff gives you a reasonable shot at pulling out something like a Nim for attacking- the worst that could happen is you get another Memnite!
