How can I make creatues in my hand into artifacts?
Commander (EDH) forum

I posted this question in the modern forum since that's my primary format, but I quickly realized how strong this could be as a commander deck if it were possible.
I ran across Mishra, Artificer Prodigy and came up with the idea to create a Persistent Petitioners deck with Mishra as the commander. It would be cool to have a Thrumming Stone effect from the command zone for such a strong card. The only issue being that the petitioners need to be artifacts on cast to trigger Mishra. The hope was a card similar to Maskwood Nexus but artifact instead of changeling. That or something to combo with a Liquimetal Coating effect. I've tried scryfall searches with no luck so far. Perhaps there is a super old card that everyone forgot about...?
Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas!!
Just to be clear, since I have seen folks over in Rules Q&A be confused about it, Mycosynth Lattice does not work with Mishra - it makes the cards colourless, but does not make them artifacts until they are on the battlefield (well after Mishra’s cast trigger).
There is presently no way to do what you wish. The closest you can come is Possibility Storm, which allows you to play two artifacts for the price of on. You cast an artifact Mishra and Possibility both trigger - stack Possibility on top. Possibility resolves first, allowing you to cast an artifact from your deck and putting the artifact you cast from your hand on bottom of library. Mishra then resolves and you search for the artifact card you just put at the bottom of your library and put it into play.

Mycosynth Lattice, that's the closest you'll get
